Description Nikos Papas 2007-10-21 17:21:20 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When I try to execute a command with kdesu using the -t option I get the following error:

kdesu: Unknown option '-t'.

However, this is a valid option as seen in the manual for kdesu:

-t     Enable terminal output (no password keeping)

Can anyone confirm this? Is there any workaround?

This is causing kconfigure to fail to when it try a make install
Comment 2 Thomas Friedrichsmeier 2007-11-29 17:02:04 UTC 
Ubuntu has decided to replace kdesu with kdesudo, which is not developed inside the KDE project. Please refer to the following bug report for kdesudo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdesudo/+bug/158672 . Add any new comments there.

Leaving this report open so it can be found by users running into the problem.
Comment 3 Oswald Buddenhagen 2010-11-06 20:16:21 UTC 
according to the linked bug, ubuntu used the not entirely compatible kdesudo as a drop-in replacement for kdesu.
