Description Buck Shockley 2016-12-09 20:23:30 UTC 
Running the command 'sudo dolphin' in Konsole will print out the following:

[buck@archie ~]$ sudo dolphin
[sudo] password for buck: 
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
"Session bus not found\nTo circumvent this problem try the following command (with Linux and bash)\nexport $(dbus-launch)"

This is 100% reproducible. Running printed command (export $(dbus-launch)) does nothing. Opening with KDE su results in the same problem.

Have you tried with 'kdesu dbus-launch dolphin'?

Yes, that command works.
