Description pmb 2016-07-11 22:31:33 UTC

Dolphin as user works well

Dolphin as root does not - as soon as it is opened the above message displays

kdesudo kwrite / kate / konsole as generate the error message

If I logout then back in again by chance (?) the first try of kdesudo dolphin does not get the message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start su dolphin as kdesudo dolphin or sudo dolphin from konsole or icon
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
above message displays - no further activity possible

Expected Results:  
no message

this is about the 4th or 5th time that I have installed Neon 5.7.0 - all problems - consistently not shutting down at shutdown - no icons in root dolphin (solved) - this error message

I must access root to modify one of the root text files

Anyone know what is causing it?

Comment 1 pmb 2016-07-11 22:34:01 UTC

I am using KDE Neon 5.7.0 downloaded within the past few days - two downloads

I am using Dolphin 16.04.2

I have the exact same issue. The first time I start dolphin-as-root everything works fine. Afterwards I always get this error message.

Comment 4 Dngrsone 2017-01-26 23:23:46 UTC

Operating Mint 18 KDE on a Toshiba Satellite P55t-B5154, installed just this month, and get same problem.

In Dolphin: right-click Actions/Open as Root, input password, and a Dolphin window opens as root then a red bar across top of file window displays "The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly."

Try using terminal, gksudo dolphin, same result.

Sometimes I will get root to work in Dolphin if I try doing so immediately after logging in, but after any appreciable amount of time logged in and I get this error.
