You might want to sticky it on top of every Help forum as it would be useful to other users besides 'beginners'. :)

No worries, the audience will see it more often than able to bare.

And in case that was to hard to get: craigevil often copies/pastes posts already made.

We got a nice saying: The exact of opposite well meant is well done
(das Gegenteil von gut gemeint ist gut gemacht. Sounds much better ).

Please set the thread as SOLVED, by editing the flirt post, else dada and the other nannies will not be able to find it no more. Never ever.

That might well be, but someone like you i swallow before breakfast. Still

to answer your question, craigevil:
coffee, cigarettes and spaghetti
said Mr. F.Zappa, but i guess it is rather the lack of being half drunken all the time. Which means that i remember what someone writes, even if it is getting edited later (and not shown as edited cause he is moderator). Say from a tapatalk.
Too hard to understand? I have thought so.

Now what is with the sticky?

cool list. but omitted there are debain developer package management web site(s) that show which packages are in what state as whether they are in next release / have build on build server / etc. the "sites that admins use they dont give password access to really using"

but sux? "how to open application as root on X11"

YOU DON'T

you log into X as root from the X Login. A program that invites root on users desktop is NOT "the right way". Convient yes. but right way , no way.

X11 has XSecurity(1) does work but isn't perfect. and i bet sux has NO IDEAD what is set or not set when it runs, which would be essential to offering security rather than damaging it.

xhost(1) and it's compliments already offer the same service (credentials tool for X11)

sux is "nice but not necessary" and gksu might just as good, security already being in a loose manner

How do i run buggy segfault software on real hardware after logging in as root at the X Login (by using Xserver as root) (you can trust X11 probably, twm probably: many x11 apps or gnome, no way)

You dont: have fun rebooting! Your hardware might be damaged!

The original reason for cpu security (even old processors had it) was to prevent glass tube transistors from melting.

and still: root access can damage your hardware (ie, even by authorizing a refusal to serve an interrupt when the same is critical).

your safer to run as a user unless doing something critical. and if your doing something critcal you probably shouldn't be using "buggy desktop software" to do it

ie, if i run "really buggy software" as root not only might i get segfaults i might start hearing the PC fan change speed before the pc locks up. NOT GOOD.

(today's root access is actually partly protected by drivers and kernel - but it's still not a good idea to run buggy software on bad hardware (all video cards are, as far as unix is concerned, bad hardware) )

Would anyone care to re-do the links from the original post? Many of them are outdated or 404. We will then sticky the new thread and unstick this one.
Typo perfectionish.
