I installed Kubuntu 12.0.4 then I installed Thunderbird.
The Thunderbird folder is in the Root folder (/etc/Thunderbird). I want to add/import to that folder a xxxxx.default folder and .ini file from a TB setup in a different operating system but I don't have permission to write to Kubuntu Root so I can't paste any files/folders there.
I'm the only user and would like to add write permission to Root but I don't know how to do that.
I found some instructions online: If you're using Kubuntu (KDE), press Alt-F2 and type: kdesu konqueror This allows you to generally operate as a regular user but have a temporary window within your user account to operate as Root. Run the kdesu konqueror command and a file browser window will pop up (with Root/administrator privileges just in that window). Browse to the folder you want, click to open it, edit it, close it, and close the browser window, and it would be done.
I used the command but no file browser window pops up. Wondering if Konquerer is not the proper command term.
How can I put the TB xxxxx.default folder and .ini file in the TB folder?
How do I make it so I can write to Root when necessary?
I'm stuggling with learning Linux so I would appreciate simple instructions.
