first time test opensuse
yesterday install opensuse leap 15.3 generic, then install cinnamon environment using one click install website.
the problem is when i use mouse right click inside folder (directory) to choose open as root from Context Menu it only ask me to enter password but after that nothing happens. in mint after enter the password popup new windows for same directory but wit root power.
any help to know where’s the problem, thanks in advance.
I have installed cinnamon in a Leap 15.3 VM via Yast but i rarely used it so far. All cinnamon settings are still default. If i start nemo and choose open as root from a folder context menu and enter the root password a new window with with the folder content and root permission is opened. In the journal i see then something like this:
..
Oct 25 22:43:42 localhost.localdomain pkexec[18909]: rolf: Executing command [USER=root] [TTY=unknown] [CWD=/home/rolf] [COMMAND=/usr/bin/nemo /bin]
..
The installed versions are:
localhost:~ # zypper info cinnamon nemo

1- i use one click install.
2- when you install opensuse it self what you choose (kde plasma, gnome, generic) in my case i choose "generic desktop)?
localhost:~> zypper info cinnamon nemo

in case you also choose generic desktop during installation, so the only different will be the installation way.
My installation was kde and later i installed cinnamon pattern via yast. I think this problem could be related to PolicyKit. I have never done a generic desktop install so i am not sure if PolicyKit is installed by default. You can check that with
zypper se -s polkit
If so you could check the journal if it contains error messages from polkitd or dbus-daemon that are related to nemo.
1- it’s installed by default.
2- in journal (using yast to see it), polkitd say it successfully authenticated. nothing about dbus-daemon.
3- depend on what i find from search, “open as root” is action. the directory of actions on my machine is empty: /home/mk/.local/share/nemo/actions , can you please check directory of actions on your machine. in case it different the simple way to find it by open any folder and press “alt+p”, or from edit menu > plugins
and same for script directory: /home/mk/.local/share/nemo/scripts
thanks in advance
Both directories in ~/.local/share/nemo/ are empty.
Fyi in a new desktop generic Leap 15.3 installation with current updates you can install cinnamon via zypper with:
# zypper in -t pattern cinnamon
Log of cinnamon install https://susepaste.org/36556764.
Nemo open as root works with no problem as you can see here https://susepaste.org/75280868.
It seems to me that your problem might caused by the “one click install”. What URL did you use for the one click install ?
Please, as well as and also, take a look at your other thread – <https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/561421-user-groups-permission>.
many thanks i will remove cinnamon using this command “zypper rm -u cinnamon”, then i will try install it again using zypper.
i do not save the one click link, but it was from software.opensuse.
