Description Toni Asensi Esteve 2015-06-27 10:37:46 UTC

Icons are not correctly seen in the "root mode" of Krusader (the one launched with its red icon) in Kubuntu 15.04, however, they are correctly seen in the "normal mode" of Krusader (the one launched with its blue icon).

I'll attach two screenshots where the differences can be seen (icons, etc.)

I'm available for further testing! Thanks for Krusader!

Reproducible: Always

Comment 3 Toni Asensi Esteve 2015-06-27 10:53:51 UTC

Note: Krusader was compiled and installed with:
        git clone git://anongit.kde.org/krusader 
        cd krusader
        git checkout plasma
        mkdir -p krusader-kf5-build
        cd krusader-kf5-build
        cmake ../krusader -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/ -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="-O2 -fPIC" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="-O2 -fPIC"
        make
        sudo make install

From a terminal, launch "sudo -E krusader"; I tried it on a kubuntu 15.04, the problem is that environment variables are not passed with kdesudo; I'll investigate further

after executing `sudo -E krusader`

After executing `sudo -E krusader` the icons are seen (altough using `sudo` and not `kdesudo` for graphical programs has its problems).

Thanks for Krusader!

KDE use in root oxygen icons maybe that the problem is from there.

Comment 7 Davide Gianforte 2015-09-16 12:51:50 UTC

Closing this bug; this is a common problem of sudo distros and it's not internal to krusader. Many solutions refer to unlock root login to configure its environment like a standard user.

Update: In https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=353263#c12 there is a way to prepare the system so that `kdesudo`can be used, with its advantages, and so`kdesudo krusader`, `kdesudo kate`, etc. show icons, etc.
