I found for me the following solution: There is only a symbolic link from /usr/bin/kdesu -> /usr/bin/kdesudo though you can use the following two commands to use kdesu as expected:
sudo rm /usr/bin/kdesu # removing the symbolic link sudo ln -s /usr/bin/kdesu.distrib /usr/bin/kdesu # creating new symbolic link So you can use kdesu AND kdesudo as you expect it. -- Starting applications as a different non-root user (kdesu -u) does not work after upgrade to Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140793 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
