This bug has shown up on my system. 32bit, running Netscape Enigma/Kubuntu 13.04.
In terminal: gksu dolphin Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. sudo dolphin Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-vtpoet" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. The only workaround I've found is to install Thunar, and run it as root. Prior to my last update, I was able to run Dolphin as root. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1085405 Title: dolphin fails to run applications as root To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-baseapps/+bug/1085405/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
