Ok, this is stupid, not being able to run an editor as sudo in linux is just plain dumb, no matter how you view it. What's the point? You can Nano, Vim, Emacs, Gedit etc. any file with sudo, why is Kate so special, and why is it such a pain to just let it run like a regular editor, and not throw wrenches in our environments?
This is to the author of Kate, while I appreciate the work, me (and everyone else for that matter) would much appreciate if you just grow up and realize we're not babies in no shape or form, we don't need hand holding or whatever you're using as an excuse, give us a possibility to install Kate as a regular editor. Some of us are hardcore linux users, we pretty much know are way around our environments, and no, sudoedit doesn't cut it. Here's what I wish to you, I wish Linus makes a special version of the kernel just for you where you can't sudo anything, you have to add some configuration to "semi" sudo anything, but it will disappear after you restart your machine. Maybe this way you'll feel how we feel with your software. Cheers, and I hope this gets fixed, and I can take back control of my software, otherwise, please put a paypal link so I can pay to use "sudo kate" and mark the software as shareware or something, so people know that they need to pay for ordinary functionality. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1762864 Title: kate cannot run as root To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kate/+bug/1762864/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
