Looking at the manpage for nautilus (http://linux.die.net/man/1/nautilus), you might want to try: $ sudo nautilus --browser file:/// or just: $ sudo nautilus file:/// The man page suggests the URI is mandatory and the last time I used nautilus, I seem to remember that the default is to run as a desktop manager; the '--browser' flag should give you the window you want. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
