Linux and SU access

Copy and Paste the following to a new text file:


#!/bin/sh
# Super User Execute
# Gives PkExec current environmental variables
#  and passes current parameters thru running shells to it.
#
# Use this file instead of gksu, gksudo, and, pkexe.
# /usr/bin/suxe

pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6

save it as "~/suxe" then open a terminal

and enter the following:

sudo cp ~/suxe /usr/bin/suxe

then enter:

su chmod -x /usr/bin/suxe

on some distros you may need to:

use the exact syntax of your homefolder

instead of "~/":

e.g.

sudo cp /home/your-user-name/suxe /usr/bin/suxe

cd /usr/bin

su chmod -x ./suxe

this trick works good for Thunar custom actions.
