Description Christopher Stone 2004-04-29 07:07:25 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
OS:          Linux

Please change the exec parameter in konsole's su.desktop to be "su -" instead of just "su".  Makes life much easier on the newbies who wonder why /sbin and /usr/sbin are not in their path when logged in as root.

Done for KDE 3.2.2 already.

Comment 2 Christopher Stone 2004-04-30 03:31:23 UTC

Are you sure about this?  I have kde 3.2.2 Fedora RPMs installed one from kde.org and one from RedHat ftp site for Fedora Core 2 Test3, and in both cases the exec paramter is still only just "su".

Comment 3 Christopher Stone 2004-05-03 05:37:47 UTC

This bug has not yet been fixed. See:

http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kdebase/konsole/other/su.desktop?rev=1.251.2.7&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

As you can see, the exec parameter is still just "su" in the latest CVS.

oops never mind, I see that it was fixed a couple days ago on the main branch.
