Bug ID: 387974
Summary: Allow Dolphin to be launched when logged in as root
user
Product: dolphin
Version: 17.08.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: pointedst...@zoho.com
CC: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
This came up in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179678#c37
As a part of implementing PolKit support, Dolphin was prevented from running
with root privileges via sudo, which is fine. Unfortunately, now Dolphin also
doesn't launch when you're actually logged in as the root user. This is
probably not necessary since if you're already the root user, privileges aren't
really an issue anymore.
It's worth mentioning that this isn't a Wayland or PolKit restriction; GNOME's
Nautilus can be launched when logged in as the root user, even in a Wayland
session.
