Can't start dolphin as root

Sun Mar 06, 2016 8:09 pm
I have upgraded fedora21 to 22 recently. Had problems with KDE but after installing some qt5 modules I made it work.
But I can not start Dolphin as before.
When I'm logged as ordinary user, I can not activate it as a root.
I have
X-KDE-Username=root

within dolphin.desktop, and on F21 it used to prompt for superuser password, and worked with superuser privileges.
Now, when I enter superuser password it freezes.

When I'm logged as root, it works fine.

I tried
# kdesu doplhin

and it returns
StandardPaths: wrong ownership on runtime directory /run/user/1000, 1000 instead of 0
QStandardPaths: wrong ownership on runtime directory /run/user/1000, 1000 instead of 0

Try to run "dbus-launch dolphin" instead.

That's what openSUSE uses for its "Filemanager - Super User Mode" application menu entry since years (i.e. in KDE4 already) because there were problems otherwise.

Re: Can't start dolphin as root

You seem to be logged in as root, via "su".
This doesn't work normally.

Try "su -", or run "kdesu dbus-launch dolphin" as user.
(or change the Exec line in your .desktop file to "Exec=dbus-launch dolphin".

Nothing.
After
$ kdesu dbus-launch dolphin


It prompts for superuser password, but when I enter password and click OK blank window is showed only.

When I press "Ignore" button it displays correctly, but many errors

Ok, then probably those "X Error: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) " are the problem.
Apparently applications run as root are not able to use XSHM (shared memory) on your system.

Try to run "xhost +" (as logged in user) first before you run "kdesu dbus-launch dolphin".
Does that help?

And one additional question: you are logged in locally, are you?
Or is this via ssh, vnc or similar?

Try a

Should work fine.

"Should", but "won't" - baloo bug.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/46290
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352686
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352365

Running things w/o "kdesu" won't work because X doesn't "know" that it's ok for the other user to access its resources, that's normal.

Afaiu, disabling baloo (in the root account) should do as well.

But mc is always a splendid thing to have around ;-)
(#2 of my "fix this **** distro" changes, right after turning vi to vim, wtf installs and uses vi - seriously? ;-)

I haven't solved the problem yet, but found something that might lead to a solution.
$ kdesu dolphin
$ kdesu konqueror
$ kdesu krusader

don't work the same way. After entering superuser password nothing but blank window appears.
$ kdesu gedit
$ kdesu kwrite

work properly, and to my suprise
$ kdesu nautilus

works fine also.

I have disabled SELinux but didn't help.

Can you open files from the kdesu kwrite instance?

yes, and I can edit files owned by root, and save them properly.

I have found some similar problems discussed on forums, and folks said it was probably Qt (not Xorg) issue, but that's far beyond my knowledge :(

I upgraded to Fedora 23 and the problem disappeared. It seems something in F22 was incompatible.
