Description: Frontend for su and sudo. GTK+ frontend to su and sudo. It supports login shells and preserving environment when acting as a su frontend. It is useful to menu items or other graphical programs that need to ask a user's password to run another program as another user.
gksu has been removed since 2018.
It is still possible to open Dolphin as a normal user, edit a "root" file and while saving, the root password will be asked.
But for copying a file as a super user, installing "midnight commander" and running it from a terminal as "sudo mc" will be useful.
It is also possible to execute "Double Commander" or "Krusader" as a super user with sudo.
