Version: (using KDE KDE 3.0.8) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 2.95.4 (Debian woody) OS: Linux This bug was first noticed via minicli, according to dfaure on kde-core-devel it's a kdesu bug... In mincli, enter a program name which doesn't actually exist (e.g. "asdsadsadl"), and hit run as other user button. The program silently fails to run without being told that the program does not exist. This seems to happen as well from the command line with kdesu, e.g. kdesu -u foo ssdaldasdad.
i just tested and kdesu told me that the command i used was invalid so i think that this bug can be close someone can confirm ?
No, bug still exists in 3.5.
I can confirm it, for "Run as a different user". Make sure you reproduce it like the following: 1. Alt-F2 2. Enter "ssdaldasdad" 3. Click "Options >>" to display options 4. Check "Run as a different user" 5. Enter username and password of another user (or your current one) 6. Click Run This does not happen with "kdesu" from the command line though (as the original reporter says): $ kdesu -u daniel ssdaldasdad sh: ssdaldasdad: not found (also I get a popup "Command 'ssdaldasdad' not found.") Kubuntu Feisty (KDE 3.5.6)
confirmed here too
this has been fixed in current trunk: if the command is not valid, the user is informed with a messagebox.
