how to copy a file to "/usr/share/sane/artec_eplus48u/" dir?

[belac]

Hi lads,

I try to use my USB scanner and I read on shane proj website I have to copy my scanner "artec48.usb" file to "usr/share/shane/artec_eplus48u" directory. As a regular user I can't. I tried with dolphin file manager but I can't find there any option to copy as root user.
Also how can I copy this file OR edit the config file what content the root to this file access -I think as another solution as I'll copy an another place my artec48.usb file and edit this config file-
Any idea?

Open a terminal. Type in

sudo cp /location/of/artec48.usb /usr/share/shane/artec_eplus48u/

Note, you might have to make the directory first (mkdir [dir]).

Thx D-cat. I got an another solution from an another thread as I can run KDESU Dolphin over Alt+F2 opened Kde runner.

Yes that works too. I just usually advise against running file managers in Super User mode if avoidable, too easy to accidentally do something that disables your system.
