Can we get on openSUSE admin actions via Open as Administrator feature that is natively supported by KDE in dolphin It is availble on Fedora , Ubuntu and Arch Linux even Rocky Linux has it , If it had so many flaws why would other distros ship it . It feels more integrated in system than the dolphin-su file that is added in /usr/share/applications which open KDE in unthemed white screen which flashbangs you on your whole dark themed distro ! Before someone say it is availble on kde-extra repo ,that package is over 2 years old and installing it does not gives Admin access in dolphin . here is an ouput of trying to run it via konsole
$ dolphin admin:/// Dolphin requires kio-admin to manage system-controlled files, but it is not installed. Press Enter to install kio-admin or Ctrl+C to cancel. Installing kio-admin failed: The packages are already all installed (ErrorAllPackagesAlreadyInstalled) Please try installing kio-admin manually instead.
Its usefullness overweighs the negligible chance that it may be misused. Please think about it :pray:
Thanks for your input. To be fair, openSUSE is the only Linux distribution I know of that has mandatory code reviews of D-Bus service like these - so other distributions shipping it is not really a sign of it being good or bad. I can understand your frustration on the end-user side. Yes, we do have a similar mechanism whitelisted for Gnome. The review history of this KDE component (as well as for the ktexteditor D-Bus interface) was somewhat unfortunate, going years back. Anyway, we will revisit this component, but please bear with us, there are currently other tasks with higher priority.
