To answer your question : you can launch a dolphin instance as root from your terminal ;) simply do :
Code: Select all
dolphin /
as root and you'll be fine

Now I would really advice you do this ... navigating it in a GUI doesn't really make sense and could be an open door to problems ...


My bad it is disabled by default but there is a workaround : viewtopic.php?f=224&t=153655&p=423428&view=lastpost#p423428

Are you trying to get to / (the root folder, as the OP subject asks) or /root (the root user's home folder)? As a non-root user, I can navigate to / in dolphin, I just can't update anything. I can't get to /root because I don't have permission.

I would have to run dolphin as root to get to /root, which I think is the subject of this thread: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=224&t=141836
