What you have described is not sufficient to enable a hidden menu entry. See my next comment. > Still the Kickoff Launcher doesn't show "File Manager > - Super User Mode" item for me to run, so I can't run it. It is unclear to me that you followed all the steps I outlined, please confirm that you did the following. *Pay particular attention to step 2.* Excerpt from my previous instructions, refer to them for context:- 1. In the left-hand pane expand "System" and then expand "More Applications" - *for the "File Manager - Superuser mode" entry*:- 2. Untick "Hidden entry" 3. Then Click on "Save" and close the Menu Editor > But the > Launcher does show Konqueror-2 entry that I had a while back and then > deleted. Where it still gets Konqueror-2 from I'm not sure. >From the new (copied) menu entry you created?

NOTE: for future reference - a command line suggestion prefaced by $ means run as user, # means run as root. Eg. I asked for the output of:- $ ls -alL /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu You ran that command as root - *doesn't matter in this case*, but it's a good idea to only run commands as root *when no other way is possible* ;-) eg.:- scott@work:~$ ls -alL /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 47548 Jul 21 2010 /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu Gives the same information without the risks. > > > >> Assumption: you're running Squeeze (from uname -r)?? > > # uname -a Linux testbox 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 12 03:40:32 > UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux Is that yes?? > > > Thanks > > Please post the entire, unmodified /etc/apt/sources.list Also the output, if any, of:- $ dpkg --get-selections sudo Cheers -- “How come people always flip and think they're Jesus?
