[Gambas-user] run project as root

 Desktop.RunAsRoot("cat /dev/ttyUSB1")



...but Ihad a problem:
I tried function Desktop.RunAsRoot(), but I heve got this notice:

/tmp/gambas.1000/3328/xdg-utils/xdg-su: 361: /tmp/gambas.1000/3328/xdg-utils/xdg-su: xterm: not found


So, I changed this line:

     xterm -geom 60x5 -T "xdg-su: $cmd" -e su -c "$cmd" "$user"

in "su_generic()" routine of the script: /tmp/gambas.1000/3328/xdg-utils/xdg-su

with this new line:

     /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator -e su -c "$cmd" "$user"

and so it worked.


But it's possible to use this simple command line in code Gambas:

Shell "/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator -e su -c \"here_the_entire_command\" \"$user\""

it substitutes Desktop.RunAsRoot() function.

regards

Vuott
