Tried:
zenity --entry \
--title="Browse files as root" \
--text="Enter your _password:" \
--entry-text "" \
--hide-text | sudo -S nautilus --no-desktop --browser
Nothing shows up on my desktop.
Tried it again in gTerminal and got:
my file browser in root plus:
Password:
[Entered through zenity ==> File Browser plus in stdout / stderror?]
Initializing nautilus-search-tool extension
Initializing nautilus-open-terminal extension
What do I do with these two lines?
