Open file manager as root resulting in repeated password requests.. why? Any solution?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
With the new Ubuntu 18.04 base of the Linux Mint 19, I had to change my Bash function in .bashrc in order for it to work as follows...
I am running the following as a user, it is supposed to ask for password, which it does, but it won't open any file:
sunemo()
if [ ! -d "$1" ]
then
( nemo "admin://$PWD" > /dev/null 2>&1 & )
else
absolute_path=$(readlink --canonicalize "$1")
( nemo "admin://$absolute_path" > /dev/null 2>&1 & )
fi
It opens fine in both cases.
But I get this if I try to open any root owned file for instance:
shell-script files linux-mint root
