Im new in Linux world, and i have a problem what is cant solve for like 17 hours.
Im using Ubuntu 18.04.3.
I would like to edit my files from the gui, because i don't want to use the nano, or mcedit every time i have to edit some config file.
So i downloaded Notepadqq (not the snap version!), and created a "shortcut" for it:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=/usr/local/bin/notepadqq
Name[en_US]=Notepadqq
Name=Notepadqq
Icon=notepadqq
also in the /usr/local/bin i created a bash script named notepadqq, what contains:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/notepadqq --allow-root $*
exit $?
###eof###
So this route (/usr/locl/bin) is the second in my $PATH, so this will run before the "real notepad" if i think it right.
I gave it my username with chown
chown myusername:myusername notepadqq
and set the read-write priviliges too
chmod 0755 notepadqq
So my plan was to run Notepadqq always as root.
But it dont works. The terminal script: 'sudo notepadqq' is works very well, but now what's the matter with --allow-root, if i have to 'sudo' to use the flag --allow-root? :D
i tried this:
[Desktop Entry]
...
Exec=pkexec gedit /usr/local/bin/notepadqq
but it's not works. When i try this at the terminal (pkexec gedit notepadqq) i get this error:
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Now i shot all my thoughts, i dont know what to do.
Does anyone have any clues?
