Dolphin as user works well Dolphin as root does not - as soon as it is opened the above message displays kdesudo kwrite / kate / konsole as generate the error message If I logout then back in again by chance (?) the first try of kdesudo dolphin does not get the message. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start su dolphin as kdesudo dolphin or sudo dolphin from konsole or icon 2. 3. Actual Results: above message displays - no further activity possible Expected Results: no message this is about the 4th or 5th time that I have installed Neon 5.7.0 - all problems - consistently not shutting down at shutdown - no icons in root dolphin (solved) - this error message I must access root to modify one of the root text files Anyone know what is causing it?
I am using KDE Neon 5.7.0 downloaded within the past few days - two downloads I am using Dolphin 16.04.2
I have the exact same issue. The first time I start dolphin-as-root everything works fine. Afterwards I always get this error message.
Created attachment 101222 [details] dolphin-as-root error message (german)
Operating Mint 18 KDE on a Toshiba Satellite P55t-B5154, installed just this month, and get same problem. In Dolphin: right-click Actions/Open as Root, input password, and a Dolphin window opens as root then a red bar across top of file window displays "The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly." Try using terminal, gksudo dolphin, same result. Sometimes I will get root to work in Dolphin if I try doing so immediately after logging in, but after any appreciable amount of time logged in and I get this error.
