I also have this problem and a question. Is the following warning true with Ubuntu 22.04? "Running Dolphin with sudo can cause bugs and expose you to security vulnerabilities. Instead use Dolphin normally and you will be prompted for elevated privileges when performing file operations that require them." If this is no longer true, please remove it. or add the code for being prompted for elevated privileges when performing file operations that require them. The latter would be safer, as it limits sudo to one operation instead of applying to all operations including accidental ones until Dolphin is closed. This is likely the original intention for the intended feature change which for some reason was never completed. Since Dolphin is the designated file manager for Ubuntu Studio at least it is important it be fully functional, as using file managers not designed to be specifically Ubuntu compatable could be more dangerous. It looks like Dolphin running under sudo was disabled due to lack of a PolicyKit for KIO. Once this gets implemented you should get a prompt when evaluation is required without having to use sudo. I understand it's frustrating to wait so long, however it appears to be more complicated then it sounds to implement. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 179678 *** (In reply to Ben Bonacci from comment #3) > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 179678 *** But this is not a duplicate: the linked bug report is about adding functionality for requesting privileges when needed. This bug report is about not removing functionality until the replacement is already available, which it isn't. |
