Errors followed by command "Sudo nautilus"

  • 772

I have opened Nautilus with root power to delete some items.When I typed Sudo nautilus,the particular window opened up,but some errors also came along with it as following:

meego@meego-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo nautilus
[sudo] password for meego: 
Initializing nautilus-gdu extension

** (nautilus:5579): WARNING **: Failed to get the current CK session: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GeneralError: Unable to lookup session information for process '5579'

Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing.

** (nautilus:5579): WARNING **: Could not inhibit power management: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner: Name "org.gnome.SessionManager" does not exist

What all these means?

nautilus command-line sudo

  1. You don't need to bother with this things. These are not errors but warnings. It is probably for the reason that, the root user has no session currently, and you are not logged in as root. so ignore these messages.

    You can get rid of these kind of messages (if you want) by running gksu nautilus command in the run command window. Pressing alt+f2 will bring up one.

    The terminal way

    you can open nautilus with root access in terminal without error messages by typing this
    sudo -i nautilus &> /dev/null. Here the error messages are redirected to another output device, which is simply null or nothing. See this answer for more
