Hi! :-)

I'm using the latest TDE v (14.0.10) on Devuan stable (Beowulf) x64.

Konqueror (file manager) in normal mode, works flawlessly. My problem is when I'm choosing (from menu or from konsole), to start it in admin (su, root) mode. it works, with one exception: When going to "Storage" (system:/media), it throws a couple of error messages and displays a blank (empty) page. These messages are:

1. "The TDE mediamanager is not running.".

and 2) "During the previous startup, KNotify crashed while instantiating KNotify. Do you want to try again or disable aRts sound output? If you choose to disable aRts output now, you can re-enable it later or select an alternate sound player in the System Notifications control panel.", with the options: "Try Again" and "Disable aRts output".

There is actually a workaround: Mount the desired partition with Konqueror in normal mode and then point Konqueror in admin mode to /media/my_username/ and go to the already mounted partition.

Any hints? Am I missing something??? :-)

Don't ever use anything GUI as root - even when the system allows you to.

Why? Tdesu (or similar tools like kdesu) worked without any problems all these years. Sometimes it's useful to launch a file manager or a text editor, while some others work in admin mode only (like GParted).

That said, you can go to /media/ and things will work as expected.

THANKS Nik! There are at /media directory if you already mounted them (with Konqueror normal mode or from Bash). Otherwise they're absent. G.
