There is a kdesu bug in TDE for Debian (probably because it was built
from Ubuntu sources; Ubuntu always uses sudo.). There is a workaround (I
posted this before but it was some time back) which works consistently
here. I don't use sudo at all.
1. apt-get purge kdesudo-trinity
2. Create a file ~/.trinity/share/config/kdesurc with this text:
[super-user-command]
super-user-command=su
3 You will need to edit the menus for all Trinity root apps else
dcopserver will crash. In the "command" box put:
kdesu trinity_app --nonewdcop
And uncheck "Run as different user"
From then on you should be able to use normal kdesu (or gksu), I think
I got that right. Let me know if you have any problems after, I might
have the answer
If i remember right, kdesu is from KDE4, not
trinity. Trinity comes with
kdesudo.
No, you do not remember right. KDE 3 has kdesu. KDE 4 may also have it, I
don't know. But since KDE 3 has it, it seems not unreasonable to hope to
find it in Trinity. And it is incorrect to say that Trinity has kdesudo. It
may have some software installed, but it doesn't function. I have just
rechecked that. As I said in the first place, I would have to set sudo up to
use it, and I don't want to do so.
Anyhow, if you don't know a workaround, that's fine. But someone else may.
Asking whether anyone knows one is not an unreasonable request.
The answer may well be no, and I shall be reduced to GNOME. :-(
