Ubuntu: Write access to files and folders in Live CD session

Usually we'll access the system via Live CD in scenarios where we cannot boot the system normally. So this is where you do troubleshooting, revise config files etc or to backup important data.


You will not have write access to some of these files and folders. To do so, open up terminal and type in the following command:


sudo nautilus


A new folder will open, and you will see this folder is set as root. You now have write access to all files and folders in the Live CD session.
