Fwd: Re: Re: Cannot talk to TDE Launcher #224 in TDE 14.1.3. - tde-devels

Also, a root file manager, if not a full root GUI session, is necessary 
to compile programs and build RPMs from that, and that's also something 
I do. *Again, **I'm requesting this bug be researched and fixed.*

TDE has that capability installed and for good reason.  This has nothing 
to do with "M$" (Microsoft). *I'm requesting this bug be researched and 
fixed.*  There are times when the system needs custom configuration and 
a root file manager is the way to do that, especially when you want to 
be able to set up your system so it can be restored from scratch without 
having to depend at all on the internet.

  About a week ago, I reported this bug in TDE
14.1.3 at
 https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues/224  but, so
 far, nothing has happened.  Is that where bugs should be reported?  Should be the
right place :)

 Anyway, I just commented there: Don't open root file manager windows. It's a bad
idea in the first place to use a GUI filemanager as root. Can't tell you how often
I've seen users trashing their system that way ... and complaining that it's what
you do on M$ and the DE has to hande that. But this is the unix way of livey: you are free
to shoot yourself if you feel like it.
