To be short, I want to copy a folder to a location /usr/share/screenlets/....
. I don't know how to do it. I am using Ubuntu 10.04. I tried by logging in as root from terminal giving "su with my password".
I even changed my user account type to ADMINISTRATOR by giving the root password when asked, yet, no use. Think all of you know that, even the option PASTE in the context menu's list in the folder "/usr/share/..." is INACTIVE.
How can I copy those files?
