Ok this might seem like a stupid question. But will sudo effect items in |
| 2 |
the menu, or will anything that requires the elevated privilege require |
| 3 |
execution from a command line? If it will not work that way is my only |
| 4 |
option to edit the command preferences in the menu to execute through |
| 5 |
sudo? I know that sounds crazy and maybe I am not verbalizing it well, |
| 6 |
but I have never used sudo outside of anything but a plain shell. |

Well, adding a user to livecd/users adds them to wheel. Catalyst by |
| 25 |
default allows wheel users to sudo without a password. Problem solved. |
