SUMMARY I initially created a issue for this in nixpkgs repo, but as far i know it required a patch which not ideal so i thought i would be better if this issue was fixed from the KDE side. Here is the issue: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/394540 ----------------------- When trying to act as administrator in dolphin the following error pops up Unable to create KIO worker. The KIO worker for protocol “admin” in /nix/store/gjgfsijgsy59gmrb0hgmhwmg33rfqvw4-kio-admin-24.12.3/lib/qt-6/plugins/kf6/kio/admin.so was not loaded because all KIO workers which are located outside of /nix/store/qqcv46w2fyz31zcy4c5gwsxsnhqwvdvq-kio-6.12.0/lib/qt-6/plugins/kf6/kio/ and ask for elevated privileges are considered insecure STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open dolphin 2. click on "view" in the menu bar 3. click on "act as administrator" SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: NixOS 25.05 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Kernel Version: 6.12.20 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × Intel® Core™ i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 82AU System Version: Lenovo Legion 5 15IMH05
I don't think that is going to change. This constraint was put in place for security hardening. Moving bug to KIO, that's where the relevant code lives.
Someone else can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but this appears to be: * A NixOS-specific issue * With a NixOS-specific patch applied downstream... * ...that override what the Nix folks agree is a reasonable policy on the KDE side Marking as resolved downstream. Thanks!
