hi all guys

i have installed a fresh install of lenny (20-02-2009) not beta lenny, kde 3.5 cd install

i have installed kde 4.2 as this guide -> http://linuxsaga.com/guide/kde-42-in-de ... ting-lenny

all ok, but i have a "small" problem, i cannot run "xterminal" as root "root terminal" ... no errors i think... the mouse icon shows the small icon jumping (as a app loads) 30 seconds but never run...

when i installed kde 4.2 in a fresh install of lenny beta 2 in the past i don't see this problem, what happens here?

sorry my bad english please

thanks to all

Try opening Konsole, then running "kdesu xterminal" and posting the output here.

kdesu xterminal
bash: kdesu: command not found

----------------------------------------------------------
aptitude seach kdesu
i kdesu - interfaz gráfica de sudo para KDE


thanks for your help bcooksley

Hmmm, maybe it is "kdesudo xterminal"

hi again

if i write "kdesudo konsole" it works, but ask me for a password, but this is other problem...

kdesu konsole don't work (kdesu: command not found)

if i write "/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu konsole" it works,

i hope this helps you to help me please


thanks

This is because some time ago for unknown reasons, kdesu was moved there, outside $PATH. You can add that to your $PATH by editing your ~/.bashrc and adding this line at the end:

Code: Select all

PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/libexec:$PATH

Then next time you login, you will be able to run kdesu without problems.

ok, done it...

but the run root konsole problem persists it must be another problem...

i select "xterminal root" in Kmenu, the icon seems loading the app for 15 secs and then cursor goes normal state...

What is the command for the terminal icon? ( The menu editor will let you see this )

solved m8

i erased all, installed KDE again as this guide -> http://www.ppcnux.com/?q=kde42-on-debian-gnu-lenny

all problems fixed :thumbs_up:

the problem seems a dependency problem, or "mixed commands" between kde / gnome

i do not recomment follow this guide "http://linuxsaga.com/guide/kde-42-in-debian-testing-lenny" to install kde 4.2 in a Lenny system, just follow this one -> http://www.ppcnux.com/?q=kde42-on-debian-gnu-lenny

Thanks bcooksley for your help anyway
