Hi. I’ve been trying to use Root Actions Servicemenu :
Root Actions Servicemenu KDE-Look.org
, but only some features work.
I’m using Dolphin as a file manager. I copied rootactions-servicemenu.pl to both /usr/local/bin and /usr/bin/ (with making sure it’s executable)
I don’t have “kde4” folder in ~/.kde/share, so I copied these two files into ~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus (I had to create “ServiceMenus” folder)
What does work:
Normal user:
-everything
Root user :
-opening Terminal in certain folder
-changing ownership to Root or Normal user
-open as text option
What does not work:
Normal user:
-nothing
Root user:
-“open with…” option (clicking it does nothing)
-copy option (does not ask for password, and pasting a file in root folders is grayed, so not possible)
-change name option (clicking does nothing)
-remove option (clicking does nothing)
-change priviliges option (clicking does nothing).
I emailed this to script’s author, and he said that
“A common thing with these options (that do not work for you), is that they all
use a dialog window to ask for additional information …so the likely culprit
for your issues is that the script can’t find the program used for showing the
dialogs (kdialog).”
and later:
“Thanks for the additional information. No immediately apparent cause for your
problems there, but I’ll try to work out the issues in the next non-
translation releases. (I’ll mail you back if the cause comes up in closer
review).”
So I still don’t know what to do. It seems like it’s a problem that affects only me, and noone else has. What’s wrong with my kdialog?
