To start an Ubuntu program as an Administrator
Some programs require Administrator rights. We will explain in the following steps, as follows:
- Open a Terminal using the key combination [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [T].
- The key word of "sudo" allows you to access with full Rights.
- Type "sudo program-name" in the console and confirm with [Enter].
- In our example, we choose "sudo thunderbird".
- Enter your Mail password and press the enter key. The program will now open with administrator rights.
