1 Bacause on the appinstaller you do not get any Time and DAte Information. This addon is 18 Years old! If I try to install it I get the Error: --- Beim Installationsprozess ist ein Fehler aufgetreten: The installation failed with code 1 while attempting to run the command: servicemenuinstaller install '/home/michel/.local/share/servicemenu-download/11227-SU - Service Menus.tar.gz' The returned output was: ---

Great stuff Translation to Swedish Name=Run as Root Name[sv]=Kör som root Name=Open as Root Name[sv]=Öppna som root Contains some swedish characters. Can you see and copy them(?).

GBerberoglu

Thanx.. And turkish translations: Run as root = Root olarak çalıştır Open as root = Root olarak aç

great idea :-) is there a reason mi kde crashed as soon as i unpacked it?

niti

I think it just run the folders as root. It does not run the files as root, does it?

niti

go to the /opt/kde3/share/apps/konqueror right click on the "run as SU.desktop and" file and ""run as SU.desktop and" file", select other and group as "read&write" on the properties of the files. This script's installation on the system may be more easy. Good work. Keep on.

Hi, where do I find that Prog.: weather/Temp Display what to see on your Screenshot??

Hi, german translation is ok but german umlaute are not displayed. Must be something with character encoding. Used on kde 3.4 beta 1

I'm using Mandrake 10.1 official (KDE 3.2.3) and it's working whitout any Problems. I only had to make su chmod 644 /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/run as root.desktop and chmod 644 /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/open as root.desktop

Doesn't seem to work for me; no added menu there. Using FC3, KDE 3.3

Hi! I was looking at your screenshot and wondering what is the system and stuff like weather and calendar monitoring??? What is the name of it so I could find it :o) tnx

james82

For the weather monitoring it probabily was "Liquid Weather ++", have a look at this link http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=6384 Bye

Thanks for the tip.

This last weeks, we seen on kde-look.org differents kde actions like "run as root","edit as root", "print openoffice document"...Myself I'm using several of his actions in my kde menu and I find them very useful, "indispensables". But I think all these actions have to be concentrate. For example, I think "run and edit as root" could be the same action if in the script you made you could identify if it is a program or a file and so call the right action with kdesu. Perrahps you could work with the man who did execute as root? Or for "print openoffice document", why not use a simply Print this action? print appears in action document for all text files or kdetext file but openoffice. It will be better to obtain print action appears for openoofice files too than add more action? I think after multi action choice step,there will be synthetic action choice.

i want to make a pkgbuild for arch-linux is it possible that you upload a version without spaces 11227-SU - Service Menus.tar.gz because the builder cannot handle spaces 11227-SU-Service-Menus.tar.gz would be enough

jlwoodhouse

As a newcomer to linux and unix I have found this very useful especially for installations and nosing arround. There is only one change I would like to see and that is the ability to open as root in the console. Also a suse installation update seems to have just removed it. drat. It really does help. I can soon but it back again but just how do I stop this from happening? It aught to be part of the base kde package.

janet

"but just how do I stop this from happening?" Where did you put the servicemenu to? /opt/kde...? Then it will be overwritten next time you update... Better put it into your home directory ~/.kde/share/apps.....

Name=Run as Root Name[es]=Ejecutar como Root Name=Open as Root Name[es]=Abrir como Root another translation :) regards.
