I realize this isn't really an antix issue, but I was hoping someone here might know the answer.
I am running antix 13.2 full on an old gateway laptop its a 650mhz with 512 ram...
I installed the lxde window manager using antix metapackage installer...
everything is running smooth and fast but I can't get the file manager it installed, which is my favorite PCMANFM, to open a folder as a root it keeps giving me an error message that says:" Failed to execute child process xdg-su ( No Such File Or Directory)"
any ideas would be appreciated, this is now my laptop and I have it dual booting windows 98, yes win 98 so I can play all my DOS games in the dos box, and antix for when I want to get online.... __{{emoticon}}__

In the pcmanFM"Edit" menu go to Preferences, then the"advanced" tab. You'll see a line called 'switch user command'. Change this line to"gksu %s" and you should be good to go.
