Hi, my kde4 is up to date and now I cannot get any programs that run as root to start from the menu. The kde4 run command doesn't prompt for root password nor does any menu item that is supposed to run as root i.e. yast2. The only way I can get yast2 for example, to start is in kde3 from the run command after entering the root password. I can't get yast2 sw_single to start in kde4 konsole after issuing the su command it just hangs but zypper works. Kde3s konsole works as expected and both yast2 and yast2 sw_single work as expected. sudo /sbin/yast2 starts the ncurses version in a user konsole in kde3, I haven't tried sudo in kde4. Any clues as to what package could have caused this? Regards Dave P
I hate these mysteries. I rebooted for about the 4th time into kde3 then logged out and into kde4, which I have done more times than I can remember while trying to debug the problem and everything now works in kde4, which I'm pretty certain it did after my update. The only thing I changed was kdesurc which I added David's suggestion to enable keeping the root password. I have changed it back to what it was and I will see if the problem reoccurs.
