I have wanted to create a .desktop
file to create an application icon which would execute a .run
file as admin. Since the gksu
package is deprecated, I've used
Exec=gnome-terminal --command="sudo /opt/lampp/manager-linux-x64.run"
in the .desktop
file. This opens a new terminal window and I type my sudo password to open the application.
So, are there any better solutions, which are more elegant for instance without having a terminal window opened?
