[00:16] Hi all- In windows to find a exe file i would R click the icon hit property and then click find target - Is there a way to do that in 11.10 [00:18] paul_: What are you trying to find, exactlu? [00:19] Im just trying to find a ez way to find the file that starts a program [00:20] to use "run as root" on it [00:23] paul_: May I ask in which folder is it, and what's the name of the file that starts the program? [00:25] Lets see if I can explain this better [00:29] I wanted to start QWBFS Manager is sudo mode or root (not sure what it is realy called) so I did a search for file with qwbfs in the file name then I just kept clicking the files untill i clicked the one that started the program. [00:31] I was just wundering if there is a ez way to find the file that starts a program from the desktop icon...Like in windows [00:33] paul_: You should do this in a terminal "sudo /path/to/file/filename.extension" [00:36] I am never sure what the path to file is.. [00:37] or the files name for that matter [00:39] This is in general not just for that program [00:40] paul_: Yes, it is in general, when you have an excecutable file, and want to run it as root.
