Re: Nautilus "Open as Root" is missing in Gnome Shell/Cinnam
"Open as Administrator" should be there by default in the right-click menu,but if it isn't the package is nautilus-gksu
Re: Nautilus "Open as Root" is missing in Gnome Shell/Cinnam
Yes, Open as Administrator is in Mint's Nautilus right-click menu by default.

Hi, tks for answer.
No, open as root, or as Admnistrator insn't aviable by default...
I searched nautilus-gksu in synaptic, and is missing, so in terminal typed this:
isn't aviable, with aptitude, the same response...
Greetings.

Yes it is, something has gone gone wrong in your install or post-install if you don't have it - linux mint 12:
I have made 3-4 clean mint 12 installs and Open as Administrator has been in the Nautilus context menu every time. Have no idea why the package is missing from your install.

Hi, tks for answer
Maybe in Linux Mint 12, nautilus-gksu, is still working... in LMDE, seems not.
I share this video:

Does exist a nautilus only repositori, to install the gksu package?
Greetings.

Re: Nautilus "Open as Root" is missing in Gnome Shell/Cinnam
Strangely enough my nautilus-gksu was removed I believe during UP4. Maybe because of a MATE dependency issue?

Re: Nautilus "Open as Root" is missing in Gnome Shell/Cinnam
let's see:
nautilus-gksu was dropped in debian when the gnome2/gnome3 transition http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=637325 and is not in testing (we have some builds in sid but for exotic architectures http://packages.debian.org/search?suite ... tilus-gksu
ubuntu and the ubuntu-based ed. of mint have nautilus-gksu because they backported 2.0.2-5 from squeeze;
LMDE-MATE has caja-gksu

tks for answer
No, my update pack, doesn't had MATE environment... why? instead, it installed Gnome Shell.
Shell, its working for me, and I'd never try it out, until now, but I'm afraid off LMDE will not bring support to this desktop. (I though that everything will aim to MATE or Cinnamon)
But, in Cinnamon, the gksu right click option, doesn't work either.
Mean wile, I'm downloading MATE, so I'll have all the three, just in case (MATE, Cinnamon, and Gnome Shell -I don't fell comfortable with KDE-).

Hi, in MATE gksu works... but I'm still hoping that works for Cinnamon and Shell too... Ideas?

Works for me. In Cinnamon.
However, I'd previously done this.
