Alan Cox Calls Fedora 18 "The Worst Red Hat Distro"

[Hamish Wilson]

So guys do you have shared computers in your home?

A few. Not many though.

[CoreyRice]

So in other words there is no allowance for shared computer in a household where the husband and wife have separate accounts?

In other words in a business setting we must allocate machines for every single individual even though we have three shifts?

Your mysterious use-case is only applicable in your mother's basement where nobody else can stand the smell of your dirty discount underwear.

Yes in todays world there is nothing like shared computer. We have three laptops me, wife and my child. Everyone needs separate space and computer today.

Is gksudo a shell script that calls sudo?

No, it is a binary executable for giving superuser privileges to applications with a GUI.
It is a GTK+ frontend for su and sudo.

[lsatenstein]

gksudo does not exist in Fedora 18

You should only use 'sudo' for command-line programs.
If you want to run application software with graphical user interfaces then you should use 'gksudo'.

Like "gksudo nautilus ."

[cardboard]

Every distro has a worst release.

I recently started to use sudo nautilus . to start the shell with root priviledges in the current directory. I sometimes remain in the shell in order to do change ownerships.

Found a circumvention

With 'sudo -i' (or 'sudo -s' which does some things differently with the environment) you can start a root shell (provided the 'sudoers' config allows that for your user, of course).
