Mainly (but not only) about Ubuntu

Nautilus “Open as root” script and “gksudo nautilus” not working.

I recently tried my “open as root” script and it didn’t work so I tried “gksudo nautilus” from the terminal and got the following error:

steve@x-desktop:~$ sudo nautilus
[sudo] password for steve:
seahorse nautilus module initialized
Initializing nautilus-share extension

Segmentation fault

The problem was that I had a blank CD in theĀ  drive. After I removed the CD everything was back to normal.
