Sorry for bumping, but maybe anyone have idea about it?:

When I execute "sudo script.sh" from terminal, it works as it should, so, probably, sudoers entry is ok.

// Edit

I've also tried to save terminal output from running desktop file, by:

Exec=sudo script.sh > /home/user/MyDocs/scriptlog.txt

(I've found it, while searching for solution - I don't know if it's right command)

...and scriptlog.txt was created, ho ever, contained nothing inside.

I just can't believe that it's not possible to set shortcut - via .desktop file - to some command that require root. Recently, I've also tried Queen BeeCon widget with command

Code:

sudo bnf.sh

, which exact same results - nothing (literally, nothing) happen when I execute it. Again, typing this manually in terminal works flawlessly.

For reference, I'm attaching actual version of script, + (more important for current problem, I think) .desktop file. Could anyone knowledgeable check it inside device? Maybe it's just "my" problem, not code problem?

Note:
Currently, there is:

Code:

Exec=sudo bnf.sh

...but I've tried also with

Code:

Exec='sudo bnf.sh'
Exec="sudo bnf.sh"
Exec=sudo 'bnf.sh'
Exec=sudo "bnf.sh"

...and every possible combination of these.

I can get it to (semi) work by:

Code:

Exec=osso-xterm -e "sudo bnf.sh"

... but that "flash" screen with terminal window poping up first, + is much slower to execute.

// Edit

Using ShortcutD, I can set:

Code:

sudo bnf.sh

...as custom command + set it for hardware button (i.e to execute, when I half-press camera button), but still no joy to make it working as desktop shortcut.

I got plans for some (maybe) useful and more complicated scripts, that would be handy with desktop shortcuts for them, but every single one require root. I have no idea why the heck it doesn't want to work with:
Exec=sudo <name>.sh
