I am also having trouble with kdesu after upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10RC. I have a couple of partitions that are not listed in /etc/fstab. In Kubuntu 7.04 I could mount+open them by opening a konqueror as root, going to media:/ and opening the drive icon. Doing the same after upgrade to 7.10RC gives me an error: hal-storage-fixed-mount refused for uid 1001
What I did: Alt+F2 kdesu konqueror kdesudo popped up and received my passwd. konqueror started. When I klicked the home button, I was in MY homedir, not in /root. However, I could access all files as if I were root! I went to media:/, klicked on an unmounted drive icon and got the error. ps aux shows: jo 14523 0.0 2.7 27200 14076 ? S 18:23 0:00 kdesu konqueror root 14526 0.6 5.5 44756 28736 ? S 18:23 0:05 konqueror Opening a Konsole from root-konqueror (F9, KDE-services>programs>system>Konsole) starts with MY uid, NOT root, same with 'whoami' As kdesu seems now to be a link to kdesudo, I tried Alt+F2 kdesu.distrib konqueror Kde-su (not kdesudo!!!) pops up and asks for the passwd. And everything is fine as in 7.04 (home is /root, could mount drives etc.) All the same applies to dolphin i.s.o. konqueror. I hope it's a bug, not a feature? ... and yes, Kubuntu 7.10RC rocks! -- kdesu leads to no permission for X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144722 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
