I'm running a GIT version of
TDE.
In the Panel Terminal widget button is an optin called
Root
Shell. When I select that option I repeatedly receive
an
error message that the password is incorrect.
This is not a path problem because the same thing
happens
when I use the full path of /opt/trinity/bin/konsole
--type
su.
I have no such problems using tdesu or starting a
normal
konsole and then using su or su - to login in as root.
Can anybody confirm this behavior?
Anybody confirm this behavior?
I found the problem. In three places the "Exec=su" command has been changed to "Exec=sudo su":
konsole.cpp su.desktop sumc.desktop
As far as I can tell, these changes were made in the initial 3.5.11 release.
I filed bug report 853.
konsole.cpp is fixable with a patch to test for both "su" and sudo su."
I don't know the best way to fix the two desktop files on a distro-specific basis. Tim?
