I just installed it on my fedora 20 amd_64 system, and ran it from a user command line. It brought up a " run as root" password box..Then it appears to run, if I close the warning. I haven't actually tested, yet, whether it manages to run successfully. But a few things spring to mind: If it really *requires* to be run as root, why is it in a menu where it cannot? We don't have a "run as" (someone else) option like Windows has. Well, at least the mate desktop does not. Why doesn't the menu call it in a way where appropriate permissions are requested as you call it? Other things that need it, such as various system configurators, get you to type in your password, or the root password, before the thing continues on. If it has to be run from the command line, why's there a menu entry? Have I missed something?
