Opening File explorer from a terminal

In Ubuntu if you want to open File Explorer from a terminal (especially as root) then you need to enter the following command: sudo nautilus

If you want this to run as a background process then just add an “&” in the end (without the quotes of course).

This blog is my personal blog and while it does reflect my experiences in my professional life, this is just my thoughts. Most of the entries are technical though sometimes they can vary from the wacky to even political – however that is quite rare. Quite often, I have been asked what’s up with the “gibberish” and the funny title of the blog? Some people even going the extra step to say that, this is a virus that infected their system (ahem) well. [:D] It actually is quite simple, and if you have still not figured out then check out this link – whats in a name?
