Don't start graphical application as root. See comments in linked bug report for workaround *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 342438 *** Created attachment 94512 [details] attachment-10199-0.html I'm sorry to use your gmail account but don't think my opinion needs to be in bug report.. I started using kubuntu because I really liked the look (plasma desktop) and feel of it. Also, I am trying to get my children and their children to experience linux using this setup. (five PCs and four different households) Plasma is beautiful but I swapped my laptop to xfce desktop and don't have the problems that plasma does.I'm not a expert but it seems that a lot of people use kubuntu the same way as I do.. Running graphical programs as root and all. Seems that the problem shouldn't be shifted to the user but repaired.. I agree with one of the comments in the bug report that if the graphical programs offered a route to root in a menu to edit files and save them that would probably be a decent workaround. But then all of these programs would have to be changed because of this bug?? I vote to fix the problem with this very specific file permission argument. Is it kde or plasma? I chowned user:user the file in question and I haven't had this happen again..If this is the fix I will gladly use plasma again. I am glad that you people are working on the problem.

See comments in linked bug report for workaround *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 342438 *** It's already "fixed". 1) I fixed it so that we recover if the file is owned by root 2) I made it so we don't write that file as root if running via sudo anyway So doubly fixed, all in later versions of kconfig/kservice. However in any case running apps as root is an unsupported case, that we need to move away from providing tools so that users don't have to. Created attachment 94513 [details] attachment-11374-0.html Thank you! You are awesome! I'm sure you get that all the time. Anyway thanks I appreciate the speed of which you figured this out and fixed it.. ---------- Original Message ---------- From: David Edmundson <kde@davidedmundson.co.uk> To: aajmj@juno.com Subject: [plasmashell] [Bug 352542] open file in dolphin while chrome was open plasma desktop disappeared Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2015 00:05:08 +0000 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352542 --- Comment #3 from David Edmundson <kde@davidedmundson.co.uk> --- It's already "fixed". 1) I fixed it so that we recover if the file is owned by root 2) I made it so we don't write that file as root if running via sudo anyway So doubly fixed, all in later versions of kconfig/kservice.
