Running "kdesu dolphin" ..My solution
Running KDE-4.2.2 Dolphin filemanager as root in Mandriva-2009.1 has been
a problem for me. Today I was playing arround & discovered the following solution that seems to work well for me & thought I'd share it. ************************************************************************* Create the following executable bash script & save it in your home folder: Dolphin-helper: #!/bin/sh ## This script adds user "root" to the list allowed to make connections ## to the X server. xhost +local:root Run the following command in konsole as non-root user to add a "link" to the above script in your ~/.kde4/Autostart folder: kcmshell4 autostart ..starts "autostart" control module Restart your computer or logout/login & you should be able to start Dolphin in root-user mode by typing the following command in (kde cmd-box) "/usr/bin/krunner": ALT+F2 ..key combination to start krunner kdesu dolphin ..start the Dolphin filemanager as root user ***************************************************************************** I don't know if starting Dolphin in root-user mode is still a problem in newer versions of KDE. If the problem still exists, then maybe this solution can help. |
