kdesu (fixed)

[pit]

Not sure whether this was reported before:

When you try to start a program using kdesu the next dialog doesn't accept the root password. Does anybody else notice this behaviour?

There is a fix: Just edit $HOME/.kde/share/config/kdesurc and change sudo to su .

Hi pit,
no, that works not for me, neither with "sudo" or with "su". Show me your complete $HOME/.kde/share/config/kdesurc.

Just two lines:

[super-user-command]
super-user-command=su

I had some other problems with installing an extension pack in virtualbox. This one and deleting kdesudo as well did the job for me.

Test it out the call (as user) "kdesudo dolphin". For me, this message comes after the dialog box with the password prompt.

Code Select Expand


$ kdesudo dolphin
Tut mir leid, der Benutzer michael darf '/usr/bin/dolphin' als root auf xxxxx nicht ausführen.

As I said: I removed kdesudo. Try using kdesu.

pit: Sorry, I missed that. Now it works with kdesu.
