Bug ID: 388041
Summary: Can not open Root only files
Product: kate
Version: 17.04.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kwrite
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: reeves...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Kate and KWrite give a persmisions error if attempting to read a file that is
only readable by root. Attempting to sudoedit does not work as sudoedit thinks
kate/kwrite has quite without making changes. Therefore there is currently no
way to edit such files with kate. This does not apply if the file is read only
for current user but writable as root. In this case kate/kwrite will prompt for
escalated permissions via polkit.
