What is the path to the Update Manager?
I installed fluxbox over LMDE xfce and I want to add the update manager to the fluxbox menu, but I don't know the path, what is the path so I can edit in?

I think sudo mintupdate is probably sufficient to launch the update manager.

That's true. You can't use sudo in menu options. gksudo can be used instead, but the preferred way to do so is:
This command works for me. No need to type the whole path.
Menus also accept terminal commands, but don't open a terminal to run them - sudo requires you to type the password in the terminal.
Code: Select all
su-to-root -X -c mintupdate
