With my current Debian testing and Dolphin 18.08, I su to root in command prompt and paste the command below and hit enter, you can switch out the word "dolphin" for kate or kwrite if you want to open an editor as root.
Code:
pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5 KDE_FULL_SESSION=true dolphin |
Thanks for the replies. However having made the change I am reluctant to go back and anyway it seems that I will still have to jump through hoops to work how I want to.
Moreover I feel that there will always be a cloud over Debian and KDE because what's to stop other disruptive changes being made? When one needs to take "creative" measures to circumvent other measures then it is time to consider making a change. KDE has become so big and inefficient that I find XFCE to be a breath of fresh air. Systemd still has the potential to greatly damage Linux. It is a major change which has been badly implemented and breaks the spirit of "The Unix Way" My transition started with the Dolphin-as-root problem, which I could have simply solved by switching to another graphical environment. However the forcible introduction of systemd pushed me to Devuan. The maintainers have a right to do what they want to. However users have the right to use what suits them. If anybody hasn't noticed it now seems impossible to use Sysvinit in Debian. Systemd updates have removed systemd-shim and overwrite /sbin/init with a link to systemd. |
