It is "su -" and not just "su". That way, using the correct command, will open up a full root login shell with all the root path environment setting. Therefor the applications are found in the common paths like /sbin or /usr/sbin. And about which applications do you speak which need root permissions and can not be started through a terminal? Nearly all if not all applications requiring root permissions are opened through consolehelper application so that if you call them as normal user running X there pops up a small window asking you for the root password. After giving that in the application starts proper. So explain yourself a bit more. > even thought you said is a bad habit login as root i dont like that > something goes wrong on my linux i just want to fix the problem so please > help me.... We all don't like if things do not work like we expect. And the answer you expect is often not the one you get.
