Bug ID: 387973
Summary: Allow Kate to be launched by the root user
Product: dolphin
Version: 17.08.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: pointedst...@zoho.com
CC: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
This came up in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179678#c37
As a part of implementing PolKit support, Kate was prevented from running with
root privileges via sudo, which is fine. Unfortunately, now Kate also doesn't
launch when you're actually logged in as the root user. This is probably not
necessary since if you're already the root user, privileges aren't really an
issue anymore.
It's worth mentioning that this isn't a Wayland or PolKit restriction; GNOME's
Gedit can be launched when logged in as the root user, even in a Wayland
session.
