How to Run Nano File Manager as root in a VNC Session

In this post I show how to run Nano file manager as root in a VNC session. I’m using a Fedora Cinnamon Spin to this logged in as an common user via VNC viewer.

Fire up a terminal and insert the command below at the end of .bashrc by hit nano ~/.bashrc

export XAUTHORITY=/home/vncuser/.Xauthority

 this example use vncuser, enter your username instead.

close the terminal and re-open again, hit the command line below to run nemo as root:

$ sudo pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY nemo

As the video shows below.
