--- Comment #10 from FabiB <plusf...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to lega99 from comment #9) > @ FabiB > You say that the program Kate guilty and therefore Dolphin can not work in > root mode. No. I say kate developers (but also dolphin developers) have deactivated root-mode for the apps. wich is a bad idea without providing any good replacement (like Polkit support in KIO). > I visited https://kate-editor.org/get-it/ page and on that page > there is no version 17.04 KDE Apps 17.04 was released April 20, 2017. https://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-applications-17.04.0.php > of open source KDE-Neon developer revised program I dont talk about the kubuntu neon project. This is a KDE thing, not a distro specific thing. Truth is: they now deactivatet root mode for dolphin and Kate, there is no replacementment, so distros start to patch out this change https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/524150-Executing-Dolphin-as-root-is-not-possible?p=2820568#post2820568 https://forum.antergos.com/post/42159 But that leads to a off-topic direction. I just wanted to show off that this feature (polkit support for KIO) would be very important right now. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
