Bug ID: 385525
Summary: Entering root password doesn't grant root privs, when
launched from kicker
Product: partitionmanager
Version: unspecified
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: andr...@stikonas.eu
Reporter: zi...@kayari.org
Target Milestone: ---
kde-partitionmanager-3.1.2-1.fc26.x86_64
If I run KPM from the kicker menu as a normal user and enter the root password
when prompted, it doesn't get root privs.
I start paritionmanager form the kicker menu, which creates a prompt:
The action you requested needs root privileges. Please enter root's password
below, or click Ignore to continue with your current privileges.
Command: KDE_FULL_SESSION=true XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1001
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1001/bus partitionmanager
--dontsu
After entering the root password (and clicking OK, or pressing Enter) I get
another prompt, saying "Warning: You do not have adminstrative privileges. It
is possible to run KDE Partition Manager without these privileges. You will,
however, ..."
i.e. it makes no difference whether I enter the root password or choose
"Ignore", it always proceeds without root privs. If I choose to continue then I
get a crash that drkonqi tells me is a dup of Bug 383636. But I don't really
want to continue without root privs, I want entering the password to work.
If I run partitionmanager from the terminal, as a normal user, I get prompted
for the root password and it works properly, starting the application with root
privs. So the problem is only when run from the kicker menu.
When the prompt for the root password appears, the journal shows:

display ":0"

After I enter the root password I see:

So this might not be a problem with partitionmanager, but with kdesu(?)
instead.
