Hi!

I have OpenSUSE 11.3 with KDE 4.5.1 (from the Factory repo) and i recently upgraded to QT 4.7. Now i have a strange behaviour: when i start qt apps in root mode, with kdesu (ex. Dolphin in admin mode) they don't follow the Oxygen style. If I login as root, the kde4 style is set to Oxygen, so i don't know what's the problem

I have a screenshot to illustrate the behaviour: the front window is in admin mode, the one in the back is normal.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Interesting. It may be possible that kdesu doesn't run the root app as a pure root app, and it still has links back to your settings.

Strange. Have you tried setting a different style, both for your normal user account and the root user, to see if it is a Oxygen problem or something else?

yes, i tried setting to bespin style, same result The root apps falls back to that ugly theme.

Hm, looks like Plastique which is the default Qt theme as far as I know.

Can you please try with another user than root? You can do this from e.g. KRunner, Alt+F2 -> Type dolphin -> click on wrench icon -> Run as different user.

You might also want to try with the command sux if OpenSUSE provides it (you probably have to install it).

hm, if i try to run with another user it don't start. Nothing happens. If i try to start doplhin from root console i get this error:

Code: Select all

Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."

Hi,

same issue here, with the same configuration: openSUSE 11.3, KDE 4.5.2 (updated today but the problem was already there with 4.5.1) and Qt 4.7.

When I try to log on the root account in KDM, I have a pop up saying I'm not allowed to. I already logged as root like that in the past (yeah, I know, I shouldn't...).

Changing the style with kdesu systemsettings doesn't change anything.

So we are at least two facing this problem. Does anyone have a solution ?

I am having the same issue.

Have you tried running "kdesu systemsettings --nofork"?

It won't run:

Code: Select all

> kdesu systemsettings --nofork
kdesu: Unknown option 'fork'.
kdesu: Use --help to get a list of available command line options.



Silly kdesu. Try kdesu "systemsettings --nofork"

Nope, it shows the oxygen style there, but not in other applications I launch through kdesu.

Were you able to solve the issue? I face it now, too. Used to work a few days ago. Strange...

I found a solution at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=707717.
It is solved by copy /usr/lib/kde4/plugins/styles/oxygen.so to /usr/lib/qt/plugins/styles

thanx for the tip, dude..it really helps!
