Debug with root privileges?
« on: September 07, 2012, 04:59:27 am »
My app needs raw access to drives, which requires root privileges.  Is there any way to debug this app from Lazarus? 

When I run the app from the IDE, the various function calls fail because of lack of permissions.  When I use gksu to run normally, the calls succeed.  I really need to be able to debug it though. 

Any suggestions?

Since I run Ubuntu in a VM, solely to use lazarus, this is the best solution for me.

Did you try to run Lazarus as root?

ummm there is no need to open lazarus in root, all you need to do is

open a terminal and type :
sudo lazarus-ide

If it says your user is not in sudoers then simply

sh root

once your @root prompt

nano /etc/sudoers

add your user to the list of   ALLOWED ROOT USERS
%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
Lazarus 1.1 r39490 CT FPC 2.7.1 i386-linux KDE
Linux Mint 14 KDE 4
