    Question about root priveleges in file manager.

    Hi, Just a quick question. I was just having a probling moving a file into the '/usr/bin' directory using the Dolphin file manager. It told me "permission denied" or somthing of that nature. I was trying to assume root priveleges from within the GUI but I couldn't figure out how to. I know how to assume root priveleges from within a console but I was wondering if there was a way to do it within Dolphin or somthing similar. Thanks.

    Hello and welcome to Linuxforums
    Try launching the file browser as root, from the terminal.
    If you use KDE, then use this command
    Code:
    kdesu dolphin
    Be careful here, you'll be able to delete/modify/hose your entire system.
