Re: Can't see n900 system files...
 
is there another way to increase the usability of the default file manager?

What do you mean? What are you trying to do with the default filemaner?

I think the default one should be fairly basic that accomodates most users. For the advanced stuff there is cli and emelfm2.

Did u ever get that running as root?

I wondered if there was a way to make it more emelfm2 like. - haven't even thought runing it as root :confused:
I just supposed it wouldn't work...

I mean emelfm2 as root. Why make the default more like emelfm2 when we have emelfm2? If you remove the basic one in favor of a more advanced setup than those that just want basic get left behind.

I think it's good to have two.

You were having problems launching emelfm2 as root.. I wanted to know if you succeeded. The best way to troubleshoot is to go back to basics and try it by hand first (running gainroot, then emelfm2 separately) - if that works then we troubleshoot the pipe command, if it doesn't then we have a problem with your rootsh.

Well.. you used to be able to use "rootsh" to do such a thing but it was removed with the thought of security.
Then it turned out it didn't save anything.... because you can do:
Code:
echo emelfm2 | root

Both worked flawlessly out of an unrooted xterm

to also launch it as root in an icon like that. At least, that is what was said in another thread.
Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=echo emelfm2 | sudo gainroot
Exec=emelfm2
Icon=emelfm2
Type=Application
Unlike last time I tried emelfm2 did launch in both cases but without root privileges.
Maybe something should be added to the shortcut?

P.S. yes I removed the sudoer file and updated the sudoers before. Hope this helps :)

Switch around the Exec= and Name= lines. Exec is what's run, Name is what the menu etc shows.

That doesn't look right.. you want:

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Rooted Terminal
Exec=echo emelfm2 | root
Icon=emelfm2
Type=Application
ETA: Wow.. that got answers fast.

Because I keep loosing my emelfm configuration and it drives me nuts, I don't know if all the config filer are here "/root/.config/emelfm2" but I always manage to screw them up and go back to those tiny two pannels.
Because sometimes when I config emelfm2 to my liking I keep loosing buttons, eg. where did my delete button go? I could swear I had one, now I only have trash which doesn't work.
Because the no "right click" literally kills me... so much could be done with a context menu while freeing pannel space aswell.
EDIT: and because emelfm2 doesn't fullscreen, any way to do that/launch it like that?
And because I'd like to replace the "basic - advanced" GPE file manager with the default one since GPE is un-configurable and looks so narrow & tiny & like looking through a keyhole.


echo emelfm2 | root <- app crashes just like before
echo emelfm2 | sudo gainroot <- same, it "thinks" for a while, then it grashes back to desktop.

For now the only valid solution seems adding it to sudoers.

Re: Can't see n900 system files...
 
create a root_emelfm2.sh file in /usr/bin:

Code:
cat > /usr/bin/root_emelfm2.sh << EOF
#!/bin/sh
echo emelfm2 | root
EOF
chmod 755 /usr/bin/root_emelfm2.sh
Then in your desktop file change the Exec line to read:

Code:
Exec=root_emelfm2.sh
