[solved] Running doublecmd as root Xubuntu 18.04

1. running as root
Having just upgraded Xubuntu from 17.10 to 18.04 I find that ‘gksu’ is no longer available.
I was using ‘gksu doublecmd’ to run with root priviledges.
How do you recommend how to run via a launcher ?.

2. Single panel if run as ‘sudo doublecmd’
if I run ‘sudo doublecmd’ (with terminal) from a launcher I can only see one panel.
How do I get back by two panel view please.

to get privileges via gvfs resource directly in this panel.(work only with newest gvfs-backends https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gvfs/backends)
the problem with this method is that when editing files with dc, the owner(for example root) will be replaced by current user, which can make your system vulnerable.

try press shift+f12 and execute cm_panelssplitterperpos

Alexx2000 suggested [pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY doublecmd]

This works fine from the terminal; but when it is run from the Whisker menu (or an XFCE panel) it prompts for username and then dies (with or without terminal).

Double Commander

Sorry for this basic question, but I cannot find how you open a folder as «root». Where is this in Double Commander?

I don’t know if you are a windows or linux user — but for windows is the solution here:

1. Open your favorite texteditor
2. Copy and Paste this code

3. Save this as OpenFolderAsRoot.inf
4. Right-Click on the saved file and select install

I found this solution long ago and i still love it
(like the «Edit File as Root» for some system files)

Linux: How to run DoubleCmd as root

Configuration >Options >Behavior: uncheck «Allow only 1 copy of DC at a time»

if command line showing
. $ gksudo doublecmd
else F9 to open a console
. $ gksudo doublecmd

and now, DC as root and DC as user.

Use your systems preferred method to start a GUI prog as root:
$ sudo doublecmd works for me, but you may need one of these:
gksu or gksudo or kdesu or kdesudo.

To build a DoubleCmd Root Button :

0. start Double Commander as root
1. Open /usr/share/applications/doublecmd.desktop
2. Save as /usr/share/applications/root-doublecmd.desktop
3. Change the contents as follows:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=DoubleCmd Root
Comment=Double Commander is a cross platform open source file manager with two panels side by side.
Terminal=false
Icon=doublecmd
Exec=gksudo doublecmd
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Utility;FileManager;

This brings DoubleCmdRoot up in the menu.
Making a button varies with DE.
There are several icons in /usr/share/doublecmd/pixmaps/
Have to keep trying.

If you click on the image below, you’ll see my 2 DC buttons.
The cursor pointer is just above the DoubleCmdRoot button.

Screen shot of DC running as root. (Ctrl-Click to open in new tab)

MX18_386: netbooks w/4.19.0-1-686-pae;

[Linux, HowTo, Example] Perform file operations as root

[Linux, HowTo, Example] Perform file operations as root

#1 Post by XXXBold » Sat Jul 13, 2019 8:04 pm

If you’re using DC on Linux, you might already know the problem: As long as you perform file operations (Create, delete, . ) in permitted directories for the current user, everything is fine. But if you want to do something in another location where you need root permissions, DC can’t access these (Unless you start DC itself as root, but don’t do so).

Here I’ll share my solution, how to elevate your permissions for a specific file operation directly in DC.

I’ve made different entries on the toolbar, one for each operation. Because on Linux you might not have the «New File» or «New Folder» entry in you context menu as on Windows, I’ll also covered these as additional Functions (including non-elevated operations).

Currently, Following operations are supported:
— Create new File
— Create new Folder
— Delete Files and/or folder

I’ve also made different icons to differ the normal operations from elevated ones. You can find them here: https://www.file-upload.net/download-13 . s.txz.html
Extract them & place the «custom» folder in «$COMMANDER_PATH/pixmaps/dctheme/32×32/». It will look like this: https://ibb.co/gVxsnQ1

Here the toolbar .xml, I don’t know if you can import it directly, but you can use the commands / parameters, for commands starting with «cm_» select «Internal command», others are «External command» https://ibb.co/V97FNVZ:

   $COMMANDER_PATH/pixmaps/dctheme/32x32/custom/cm_newfile.png Create new File touch %Ds/%[Prompt user for param;New_File]  $COMMANDER_PATH/pixmaps/dctheme/32x32/custom/cm_makedir.png Create new Folder cm_MakeDir  $COMMANDER_PATH/pixmaps/dctheme/32x32/custom/cm_delete.png Delete selected files cm_Delete   $COMMANDER_PATH/pixmaps/dctheme/32x32/custom/cm_newfile_as_root.png Create new File (as Root) pkexec touch %Ds/%[Prompt user for param;New_File]  $COMMANDER_PATH/pixmaps/dctheme/32x32/custom/cm_makedir_as_root.png Create new Folder (as Root) pkexec mkdir %Ds/%[Prompt user for param;New_folder]  $COMMANDER_PATH/pixmaps/dctheme/32x32/custom/cm_delete_as_root.png Delete selected files (as Root) pkexec rm -r %p
