Error comparison screenshot between kdesudo and normal loads
This has been happening since 15.04 IIRC, I just updated to 16.04 from 15.10 and the problem persists. Using
kdesudo dolphin
kdesudo kate
Brings a version with the completely wrong theme, and in the case of dolphin, no images. I'm attaching a comparison shot between the version opened normally or the on opened with KDESUDO. On the left size of the image you can see the result using kdesudo, on the right side without. I'm calling both using ALT + F2 and typing the command.
dolphin even throws an error message: "The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly."
the same for Kubuntu 16.10 "Yakkety Yak" - Alpha amd64 (20160501) At least choose fallback theme set with system settings or use gtk based theme to show icons... like "PCManFM" file manager.... .. The problem isn't specific to dolphin. Kate is also affected by this. It seems to be related to the qt5/frameworks transition. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 353263 *** |
