Root Service Menu

As part of this thread creating a root's Action menu was mentioned.

  • First download the following file roots-action.tar.gz(right click and Save Link As...)
  • Extract the file with Ark, then copy the 3 files from the folder into the /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/ directory (don't copy the folder)
  • The root's action menu is available when you right click on a opened window.

This Action menu will let you,

  • Open a Filebrowser (konqueror) with root privileges.
  • Open as root a Terminal windows (konsole) (you can directly execute commands such as apt-get, etc)
  • Open and Run a command as root. (you just have to provide the name of the program)
  • Edit and save text files.
  • Run selected executables as root.

Here are few screenshots of Action Menu.
