Listmates,
The frustrating problem with sudo in KDE remains intentionally unfixed in 11.1. So far no one at novell is willing to provide a reason why kdesu no longer defaults to sudo or what the incompatibility is, just the frustratingly normal "WONTFIX". See:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=400903 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446947
The normal work-around still works:
kwriteconfig --file kdesurc --group super-user-command --key super-user-command sudo
Wow! They set a default to use su(1), and you over-ride that, find it doesn't work as you expect. File a bug, get told "WONTFIX", but pass it upstream are given a work round, and you still aren't happy? Novell aren't going to fix that, because they see it as a KDE problem, it's not a problem in the product as they ship it. May be "RESOLVED UPSTREAM" would be more diplomatic than "WONTFIX". There's all kinds of ways you can re-configure the system to break it, how could Novell and openSUSE project be responsible to clear up, every issure arising? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
