Hi all,

I made a fresh install of the RC1 to a new box onto a SSD. from a boot-installer stick.
Everything went fine, but I have a problem:

If I call krusader in root-mode (from the menu), the root-PW is requested. After input, the window stalls and does not come back.
What can I do?
I have comparable problems with cups (configuring printer via menu item). After root-PW input also nothing happens (here just after some trials, but no success).

do these things work if you call them from a root shell where you became root with suxterm instead of su/sux?

mylo - try the right pw? It's only a vague guess :)

same problem here with root-krusader and configure-cups (two machines amd64).
Calling from suxterm works.

But: e.g. gparted started from menue and password requester works.

I have this problem on one system (amd64) after todays DU. This is not the RC1 Installation. Two other 64bit systems also DUed today working fine.

Hi ayla, I confirm your experience. However, I am wondering, that hints from the following thread do not help (as "krusaderrc" file is not avail):

hatte auch diese Probleme.
Mein kdesurc unter /home/user/.kde/share/config/ gehörte root und in der config stand
  "super-user-command=sudo".
Ich habe die config auf
  "super-user-command=kdesu" geändert und den Besitz wieder an den Standarduser übergeben.

.kde/share/config/krusaderrc
mlocate would have told you that

Hi devil,

you are right , the file is there. Yesterday I looked and searched --> nothing. I have the feeling my inst is incomplete as kmail and vlc are missing in the kmenu.
Back to krusader:
The file krusaderrc does not contain a line like
super-user-command=...
Just under
[Dependencies]
.....
kdesu=/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu
....[Search]
ContainsText Completion=super-user-command
ContainsText History=super-user-command
SearchFor Completion=kdesurc,kdesurc*,*
SearchFor History=*,kdesurc*,kdesurc...

lines deal with kdesu, no line deals with sudo.

Can I just add the line
super-user-command=kdesu
to get it working? Under which section does this have to appear?

May be a full inst by dvd works better, I have to think about, as other progs are missing.
