use gksudo and your userpassword when the dialogue comes up and it will run as root and work

Execute: rm -rf /root/lua_25M1bP
This appears to be the final line. Something is missing

Gksudo was great to get it started through the password.
This new one is there a cure.

Then run:

sudo rm -rf /root/lua_25M1bP

And you will get the access you need.

Can you help with this problem?
