Dolphin asks for Admin/root password every 5 minutes or less :( STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Try to access tera bytes of NTFS files data 2. In less than 5 minutes or so it will ask for root password 3. It almost immediately forgets root password OBSERVED RESULT Try to access/move NTFS files from an NTFS drive to another exfat drive and you will constently need to keep entering root password. This substantallty slows down the file operations needed. :( EXPECTED RESULT REMEMBER or at least cache root password longer than 5 minutes...hopefully until that dolphin session terminates... This is actually 2023 and the linux babies of yester-year are all grown up now. :/ SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Latest Tumbleweed - a freshly downloaded and installed today ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I fully understand Dolphin developers hate root but this non-sense causes people to seek out hacks to get around their stubborness :(
Dolphin itself has no functionality capable of asking for root permissions. Are you doing any of the following? - Accessing a location through kio-admin - Using a 3rd-party "open as root" extension or something - Running Dolphin with `sudo` or some other unsupported methods of privilege escalation
Created attachment 163718 [details] attachment-883191-0.html Um, no, I was just using Dolphin "open as Admin" but it would not remember what root/admin was and would definitely forget root if I changed directories. You are welcome to close this ticket as "will not fix" I have deleted KDE neon and moved on. neon had promise but I want it to work a particular way and it did not, So I left it for greener pastures.

Ok, if there's no way for you to reproduce the issue, then there's probably nothing we can do here. FWIW when you submit a bug report, it's expected that you continue to preserve the error condition so that developers can troubleshoot it. See https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#Issue_reporting_involves_responsibility. Also, replacing the entire OS with something else because of one issue with the file manager app seems a bit drastic to me. But hey, it's your computer!
Created attachment 163719 [details] attachment-884345-0.html Nope, sorry, this has been a LONG term issue. My mother was admitter to the hospital the other day and I really dont feel like fixing a KNOWN issue, so I am moving to another distro. One more 'adult' friendly. root isnt bad just as a gun isnt bad ... they are both tools - learn to use them :/ On Fri, Dec 1, 2023, 2:54 PM Nate Graham <bugzilla_noreply@kde.org> wrote: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477819 > > Nate Graham <nate@kde.org> changed: > > What |Removed |Added > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Status|NEEDSINFO |RESOLVED > Resolution|WAITINGFORINFO |WORKSFORME > > --- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <nate@kde.org> --- > Ok, if there's no way for you to reproduce the issue, then there's probably > nothing we can do here. > > FWIW when you submit a bug report, it's expected that you continue to > preserve > the error condition so that developers can troubleshoot it.
