But I have the same Problem than two other users
When I will work with Krusader to Admin than he will have the root
password.
Thats the Problem, no chance to give him the password. Yes
kdesudo-trinity is installed.
The System is Debian Squezze and KDE 3.5.12 is the Standalone Desktop.
What you say to the other with this Problem, I also do this.
I hope you have a way for this Problem.
My original post on this topic was really geared toward Debian users
who do not want sudo enabled at all, preferring the traditional kdesu
and the problem to do this in Trinity DE.
As I wrote, I get dcop/klauncher errors. I have been able to reproduce
this on more than one install, however cannot be 100% sure my machine
is not at fault, also I have attempted a "minimal" install and may
have something missing (although that should not be as deps are
normally expected to get installed automatically.
I am now using the --nonewdcop option (e.g. <kdesu kwrite
--nonewdcop>) SO FAR this is working flawlessly and is the best
workaround I can find. It would be simple to incorporate that in the
menu for root gui stuff. It does require creating/editing
~.trinity/share/config/kdesurc as I wrote earlier and deinstallation
of kdesudo-trinity.
If I do kdesu without that option afterwards or use sux dcop still breaks.
I have no claim to great knowledge of kde internals, perhaps someone
better informed might investigate this or suggest any possible
problems. Maybe it's a good clue to a proper fix, maybe it's also
relevant to sudo users.
Where I'm at now, besides removing kdesudo-trinity I have now removed
sudo-trinity and replaced it with sudo, now everything seems to ask for
a passwd every time :-) , except for synaptic and it's never asking for
a passwd anytime anymore, it just opens when ever I click on the icon, I
played around with gksu for awhile but could not get it to ask for a
password and start, but I could get it to ask for a passwd and not start
:-P , the only other gtk package that I have is gdebi and it may also
not ask for a passwd I won't know until I have something to install.
