Alternatively you can launch sudo inside a terminal window. For example with xterm: xterm -e sudo [some command] [some arguments] […] This will pop up a terminal window to type your password in.
Pretty sure almost all terminal emulators have a similar argument.
Hearing Snow by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers while my mom is folding clothes (thats a very specific one). I have no idea how old I was exactly but I remember it vividly. The funny thing is that I didn’t understand a word of the song as german is my native language. Recently I stumbled across the song again and suddenly, as if struck by lightning, I remembered this weird mundane situation as if it was yesterday. The human mind is so weird.
