Solved!!!

Enable open as administrator in nautilus!

To get started, press Ctrl – Alt – T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the commands below:

enter code here

sudo apt-get install nautilus-gksu

enter image description here

After installing that application run copy and paste the line below and press enter.

sudo cp /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-gksu.so /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/

enter image description here

Finally, log out and back in then go and test it, by clicking your right mouse click on the file you want to run as Admin and your see a popup menu with the words: open as administrater.

Much easer to open terminal and type in

gksu nautilus
