dolphin in mode super user doesn't not load

Hello,

Since the last snapshot In KDE when I try starting dolphin in mode super user from the KDE menu it asks the password and thereafter does nothing
I have the next messages in journalctl

I tried it with my normal user and with a second user but the result is the same.

Dolphin as normal user works correctly

Any idea?
Philippe

Philippe,

You’ve got just the data that’d be needed for a bug report which is what I think this is. I have it too I just didn’t know how to get the info.
Can you send what you have here please:

https://bugs.kde.org/

What version of openSUSE
Show us

zypper lr -d

TThe Prefix of this thread says: TUMBLEWEED

Same here.

As a work round you can start the superuser version of konsole (the red icon), add your root password and then type dolphin. This gives you a working superuser dolphin window.

I opened bug 354099 in https://bugs.kde.org/

Philippe

This is no KDE bug. KDE doesn’t even ship a “Dolphin - User mode”.

And I already submitted a fix for this this morning, see also 950907 – Dolphin root user not work OpenSUSE Leap 42.1 RC 1.

thanks this solved the problem

Worked for me too.
