File manager - super user mode do not open files.

English Applications

Hi,

I’m on a fresh openSUSE 11.2 with KDE
I cannot open any file in super user mode of Dophin.

I open Dolphin super user mode from
Application launcher >>> Applications >>> System >>> File manager
It opens the folders and links, for files accociated with Kwrite I got an error:
KDEInint could not launch ‘usr/bin/kwrite’.
for the other files it just doesn’t do anything at all

I open it with
kdesu dolphin
it only can opens folders. for files (and links) I get
KLauncher could not be reached via D-Bus. Error when calling start_service_by_desktop_path:
The name org.kde.klauncher was not provided by any .service files

Thanks.

Do it this way in a terminal

kdesu kwrite /path_to/file

eg: kdesu kwrite /etc/fstab

That does the job :slight_smile: Thanks for the help.

Great. Well done;)

That is just a workaround, how can it really be fixed? If I have dolphin opened in kdesu, I want to be able to open files. Not open a terminal and do another kdesu. In kde 4.3.4 this is still not solved?

+100 here. Any solution, not a workaround?

A workaround is a solution

A Fix is something else. Keep adding your comments to bugzilla.

I have another solution you might be interested in.

Create yourself an new menu entry and call it SU Kwrite, the command is is kdesu kwrite. Like this

Now all you need to do is add it to the context menu for text files.

Now when you want to edit a file need su, just right click - open with: your newly made entry!

simply u have to enable the access to the local machine
using the command
xhost local:
then it will work fine
