Everytime we use xTerminal, we almost always use the sudo gainroot command to gain root access. I don't wanna have to type this everytime, is there a tweak that automatically opens xTerminal with the root access enabled already??

Should anyone attempt to edit their previous posts above my post at page 4 (post 31), and attempt to "trick" or override my post with theirs, please compare their edited time & date with mine. If ur too stupid to do that, u fukn fail. With that aside, here's the message:



It's been fun guys. But i'm done with u both. One idiot tries to prove his innocence because he posted a useless 3 word sentence on page 1, another idiot feels bad for the first guy and rages and spams.


Both are now blocked ignored.


Any reply posted after mine will be considered ineffective and garbage. This warning message is troll proof, idiot proof and ****** proof. Consider urself an illiterate c.u.n.t, should u still choose to post/flame after this message, or quote this message. Any further insults posted against this will be redundant and fail miserably.


Good bye u losers.

There is probably a way to launch root terminal directly

I strongly discourage this.

thanks fatalsaint, that solved my problem.

And to the 2 other users who replied, no offense but they're kinda pointless and useless answers. If you don't have anything good to suggest, then don't reply at all, just saying.


And of course there is a way, i've seen several threads about this but people had problems with it when trying to modify a few files and put into certain folders. However, Filebox allows root access and opens xTerminal with root access enabled already, so that's the type of tweak or solution i'm looking for.

My reply was positive, no criticism and helps keeping the hopes up, and i wasn't lying, at the time it was my honest opinion that there probably was a way to do it.

You could create an alias so you only have to type (for example) "r"

add this line to /etc/profile (you'll have to be root)

Code:
alias r="sudo gainroot"
Now next time you'll login, just type "r" instead

just type 'root' it does the same as sudo gainroot and is much quicker, and you only enable root access in a terminal session if you need it, it shouldnt be enabled automatically.
