ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 Gary 2020-07-31 18:12:17 UTC

OS = Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon x64 bit.

Comment 2 Davide Gianforte 2020-08-21 12:12:02 UTC

What is the command shown in the password prompt?

Can you execute from a terminal "kdesu krusader"?

Comment 3 Gary 2020-08-22 17:57:35 UTC

Install of kdesu packages did NOT add a link in /usr/bin pointing to kdesu.

Added symbolic link to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kf5/kdesu in /usr/bin

"start root mode" in krusader now works ok.

Comment 5 Toni Asensi Esteve 2020-09-06 22:16:57 UTC

Just two questions, Gary: Do you see the same icons when you execute
    kdesu -c KDE_FULL_SESSION=true krusader
as when you execute
    kdesu -c KDE_FULL_SESSION=true krusader?
?

Does the command
    $(kf5-config --path libexec)kf5/kdesu -c KDE_FULL_SESSION=true krusader
work for you?

Sorry, Gary, I meant:

Just two questions, Gary: Do you see the same icons and text style when you execute

as when you execute
    kdesu -ckrusader?
?

Does the command
    $(kf5-config --path libexec)kf5/kdesu -c KDE_FULL_SESSION=true krusader
work for you?

Comment 8 Gary 2020-09-09 16:30:24 UTC

When I try either command I get an error.

$ kdesu -c KDE_FULL_SESSION=true krusader
qt5ct: using qt5ct plugin
org.kde.kdesu: Daemon not safe (not sgid), not using it.

When I try to click on the "start root mode" in the Krusader/Tool menu,
it fails to accept the password.

If I execute "sudo kdesu krusader" then it starts root mode krusdaer.

Comment 9 Christoph Feck 2020-09-10 10:47:03 UTC

New information was added with comment 8; changing status for inspection.

Comment 10 Christoph Feck 2020-09-10 10:47:36 UTC

Changing status correctly.

Comment 11 Alex Bikadorov 2024-12-04 10:26:26 UTC

>org.kde.kdesu: Daemon not safe (not sgid), not using it.

I think this explains the problem: The setgid permission is not set for the kdesu daemon. Doing this should fix the issue.

If there is still an issue with Krusader, please report back.
