SUMMARY Krusader Mint 19.3 root mode login fails to login with correct password. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
OS = Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon x64 bit.
What is the command shown in the password prompt? Can you execute from a terminal "kdesu krusader"?
Install of kdesu packages did NOT add a link in /usr/bin pointing to kdesu. Added symbolic link to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kf5/kdesu in /usr/bin "start root mode" in krusader now works ok.

Just two questions, Gary: Do you see the same icons when you execute kdesu -c KDE_FULL_SESSION=true krusader as when you execute kdesu -c KDE_FULL_SESSION=true krusader? ? Does the command $(kf5-config --path libexec)kf5/kdesu -c KDE_FULL_SESSION=true krusader work for you?
Sorry, Gary, I meant: Just two questions, Gary: Do you see the same icons and text style when you execute kdesu -c KDE_FULL_SESSION=true krusader as when you execute kdesu -ckrusader? ? Does the command $(kf5-config --path libexec)kf5/kdesu -c KDE_FULL_SESSION=true krusader work for you?

When I try either command I get an error. $ kdesu -c KDE_FULL_SESSION=true krusader qt5ct: using qt5ct plugin org.kde.kdesu: Daemon not safe (not sgid), not using it. When I try to click on the "start root mode" in the Krusader/Tool menu, it fails to accept the password. If I execute "sudo kdesu krusader" then it starts root mode krusdaer.
New information was added with comment 8; changing status for inspection.
Changing status correctly.
>org.kde.kdesu: Daemon not safe (not sgid), not using it. I think this explains the problem: The setgid permission is not set for the kdesu daemon. Doing this should fix the issue. If there is still an issue with Krusader, please report back.
