That looks like a setup error. Which distribution are you using? Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and set the bug status as REPORTED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDSINFO status with no change in 30 days the bug will be closed as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME due to lack of needed information. For more information about our bug triaging procedures please read the wiki located here: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging If you have already provided the requested information, please mark the bug as REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is ready to be confirmed. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! Ubuntu 19.10 The editor was run as root without appropriate environment. If the program can't work without certain environment: better fail the startup with appropriate error message which gives direct understanding of how to fix. After this error message program doesn't exit and continues to run in non-usable state. Kate doesn't support running as root. You should still be able to edit root-owned files using its KAuth feature. So print the appropriate error message and exit kate. What do you mean "not a bug" when Kate prints some cryptic error and continues to run in non-working state. This is not a bug for you, Christoph?????? I'm tired of your half-working software!!! Please, try to make it a little bit more user-friendly, so users wouldn't spend time by scratching their heads and deciphering what is going on with your programs!!!! When I run 'sudo kate' there is a very clear message that reads "Executing Kate with sudo is not possible due to unfixable security vulnerabilities." and Kate aborts. |
