You’ve got something set up wrong if you can’t create a directory using Nautilus. ...unless you are trying to create a directory outside your home directory.
If you want to mess around outside the home directory, just type “sudo nautilus” in a terminal window. Then you can use the file manager to gut /usr/bin or any other directory you want.

My point exactly. I am root and have the root password. I shouldn’t have to go to the terminal to manage files. I wanted to install a printer driver file and had to go to terminal. That’s ridiculous.
