Not a bug - look commit: https://cgit.kde.org/dolphin.git/commit/?id=0bdd8e0b0516555c6233fdc7901e9b417cf89 So, they just decided i can't open Dolphin as root? Yes, because running Dolphin as root is dangerous. Hopefully Dolphin 17.12 will be able to edit root files in the proper way (polkit). More details here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=152150#c7 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 152150 *** error:"Executing Dolphin with sudo is not possible due to unfixable security vulnerabilities." funny how this was discovered after decades during which it was possible to run Dolph as root and everyone was happy. users are very, very angry about this unnecessary PITA. |
Created attachment 104763 [details] Error picture Whenever i try to open Dolphin as root, i receive the message: Executing Dolphin as root is not possible. Already tried via konsole, Kdesudo. Just reinstalled my computer, but the bug is still there. Using KDE Neon, Plasma 5.9.4 latest updates
