In Ubuntu 16.04: when I run sudo nautilus
from the terminal, a new window pops up but no arrow indicating an opened window appears besides the nautilus icon at the unity panel. When I minimize the root window and then click again on the icon, instead of opening the root window, a new non-root window pops up and suddenly two arrows appear near the nautilus icon. (Not even scrolling on top of the icon works to show the minimized window.) When I close the non-root window, only then the arrow indicating the root window stays on the panel and everything works like it should.
I also tried removing the nautilus icon from the panel and run sudo nautilus
from the terminal. In that case a new icon appears with the arrow and everything behaves normal.
Is there a way to fix this? It is annoying.
gksu
orgksudo nautilus
because sudo wont really create a correct execution environment for GTK (programs w/ gui) programs.gksu
. And in addition to that, after runninggksu nautilus
my wallpaper reset to the default 16.04-one. Only after clicking the nautilus icon again, the arrows appeared and my custom wallpaper is back.apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
sudo kate
it does show the arrow besides an existing icon... And I have never usedgksu
on 14.04 and still after runningsudo nautilus
there the arrow showed every time...sudo kate
and closing the window, the terminal resets itself normally.)
