Yes, this has been around for a while but no one fixes it.
Chris, I tried to investigate a little bit but I have only little
knowledge of KDE. I tried to strace the thingy, my best guess is that it
does not succeed to exec /usr/bin/konsole_grantpty
Also the message "daemon not launched" at the beginning is not amusing at
all. I could solve the problem by doing "chmod g+s /usr/bin/kdesud" but
was no avail for the main problem.
I tried also to chmod +s konsole_granpty but still the there is an
`operation not permitted':
3924 execve("/usr/bin/konsole_grantpty", ["konsole_grantpty", "--grant"], [/* 41 vars
*/]) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
I think, from here, it fails.
Chris, or David, or another KDE coder :-), can you investigate?
