Root Terminal

[Jack]

If you are running Mate and have a problem with Root Terminal you might need these.

Code: Select all

gksu-2.0.2-x86_64-1salix15.0.txz
lib64glib1.2-1.2.10-20pclos2015.x86_64.rpm
lib64gtk+1.2-1.2.10-51pclos2019.x86_64.rpm
GConf-3.2.6-x86_64-7.txz
gtk+2-2.24.33-x86_64-2.txz
libgnome-keyring-3.12.0-x86_64-4.txz

I found out mind didn't work.

I do not have that problem with Porteus 5.0's Cinnamon system.

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ su
Password: 
root@porteus:/home/guest#

What version of Mate are you running? And what problem are you seeing?

What version of Mate are you running? And what problem are you seeing?

Porteus 5.01 Mate version that I downloaded posted on the forum Mate version 1.26.0. It was missing dependencies.

What problem requires the extra modules? What are you doing in root?

[Jack]

It was in the Menu and I wanted it to work. If anything in Menu or anything else I want them to work. That what make Porteus and Nemesis a great distro.

i very much doubt anyone would need any of those.
testing mate here, and menu>system>"Super User Mode Terminal" works exactly as expected.
any breakage would be something that's been done post install.

as an aside, running the terminal emulator as super_user in a normal_user session is kind of pointless, since doing super_user stuff inside a normal_user terminal emulator will produce the same levels of joy

Why was Root Terminal in the Menu anyway?
