while i do kdesu dolphin /ANY_DIRECTORY it only opens the dolphin window with no contents of the folder, there is a message displayed at the bottom, which says,
“Could not start process Cannot talk to klauncher: The name org.kde.klauncher was not provided by any .service files.”
I’ve found that only one (Konqueror or Dolphin) can run in Super User mode at a time (can extend beyond sessions).
If Dolphin won’t run, then use Konqueror.
If Konqueror won’t run, then use Dolphin.
Unfortunately, I haven’t yet found a way to launch Konqueror File Manager from the Launcher or command line yet, when you launch Konqueror without any switch, it defaults to the web browser.
OK, when I start dolphin from console with a root it’s start and works, but I see the next:
<pre>

Errors are the same as from “kdesu dolphine”, but it’s work.
What the problem?
The result is
>rpm -q libkonq4 libkonq5
libkonq4-4.0.4-18.1
package libkonq5 is not installed
The file list for this RPM:

I install the latest avalable versions from STABLE repository:
libkonq4 - KDE Konqueror Libraries
Installed Version 4.0.4-22.6

But no result.
Resume: to start “dolphin” in super user mode I must start it ones from console with a root privileges. After that it can start from GUI too. After reboot, procedure must be repeated.
I haven’t tried to run both concurrently, but only one at a time.
However,
As noted in this thread, when you launch
kdesu dolphin
you don’t always get a functional Dolphin, the details pane can be blank. When that happens, I’ve instead launched Konqueror (Super User Mode).
On the other hand, I’ve also found that if I can successfully launch Dolphin in super user mode, Konqueror in Super User Mode doesn’t function properly (I’ve forgotten the exact problem since I ran into it, for weeks now I’ve just avoided the problem)
So, I suspect there is a persistent setting somewhere which allows only one app to function properly in super user mode and until/unless that setting is flipped I stick to the one app.
I might also suggest that you try doing more than simply launching both apps at the same time, you should also test functionality (access and do file operations which require root permissions)
What I found is entirely circumstantial and “just works” for me, I didn’t try to dig deeper into <why> what I described happens.
I had the same problem as stated above…deleting libkonq5 did work…my dolphin is jumping out of the water again…am using a 64 bit opensuse11 on a dula core machine
