I heard about nautilus-gksu and would like to install it. Unfortunately, when I try, I get this:



glemi@XPS:~$ sudo apt-get install nautilus-gksu
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package nautilus-gksu


How and where can I get this package?

Apparently nautilus-gksu has not been in the Ubuntu repositories since 12.04.



I got the below from:
http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/09/open-files-and-folders-as-root-from.html



sudo apt-add-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nautilus-gksu


Then restart nautilus with this command:



nautilus -q


I didn't try this myself, and don't know if there's a better repository to add than upubuntu; it's also supposed to be available from the Linux Mint repositories from my quick Google search. If you Google for alternates, I would recommend limiting the results to the last year, to avoid obsolete references.
