I was recently reading some linux articles and stumbled on a faster way to do sudo tasks the gui way by installing a package called gksu-nautilus which allows me perform tasks with root permissions without having to go through terminal.

I installed the package with synaptic and restarted nautilus with the command below:

nautilus -q

I then ran the lines gksu nautilus in terminal and got a prompt to enter my password, I entered it and immediately the errors below were displayed in terminal:

(nautilus:4062): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from 'GtkMessageDialog' to 'NautilusWindow'
**
ERROR:nautilus-window.c:2116:nautilus_window_get_slots: assertion failed: (NAUTILUS_IS_WINDOW (window))

I decided to try sudo nautilus , and got the same error. I'll really appreciate a solution to this problem.

It's because Nautilus is out of date. Go to https://askubuntu.com/a/460497/299605 for instructions on updating it.
