[11:48] <victor__> anyone available?
[11:48] <smartboyhw> !ask | victor__
[11:48] <ubot93> victor__: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience
[11:49] <victor__> thanks
[11:51] <victor__> I have downloaded a zip file and need to unzip it to a directory requiring root permissions.  Am using the gui interface for extraction.  When I press "Extract", it tells me that the target directory irequires root permission.  How do I get that and finish the job?
[11:54] <krytarik> victor__, run "gksudo file-roller" via the Alt+F2 dialog, enter your admin password, open the archive, and then continue as you which.
[11:54] <krytarik> *wish :D
[11:59] <victor__> worked perfectly...Thanks so much!
[11:59] <krytarik> Welcome. :)
