I have not found a way to disallow konsole access .
Is there a way
Regards
steph

This way is kinda rough, edit the current profile and change the Command to

Code: Select all

/bin/false


Save and Konsole will stop opening. Edit the profile viewtopic.php?f=21&t=78963 and change back

It is possible to disable shell access via KIOSK restrictions, by adding this to /etc/kde5rc (or maybe /etc/xdg/kdeglobals?):

Code: Select all

[KDE Action Restrictions][$i]
action/shell_access=false

(the [$i] will make it impossible to override it in the user config files)

See https://userbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Adm ... troduction for more information about KIOSK, although that's a bit outdated (it should still apply more or less though).

There is a bug that you can still open Konsole from dolphin then, but it has been fixed today:
https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=dolphin.git ... 528ec714e8

And of course it also won't protect against running an xterm (or any other terminal application) from the application menu.
Running Konsole should not be possible though, unless there is another bug.

See also https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/plasma-d ... 53133.html

Haven't tried that myself though.

I tried it myself and noticed 2 things:
- It should actually be:

Code: Select all

[KDE Action Restrictions][$i]
shell_access=false

Sorry.

- It doesn't work in Plasma5 unfortunately it seems. Though other restrictions do work (e.g. action/file_new=false and action/file_open=false).
Probably worth a bug report.
It does work in KDE4 (Plasma1), though you need to add it to /etc/kde4rc in this case of course.

You didn't specify which version you are using...

PS: this commit (will be in KDE Frameworks 5.23.0, going to be released at the beginnining of June) looks like it would fix it:
https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kconfig.git ... d86f21a116

So, a workaround would therefore be to remove the "TryExec" line from /usr/share/applications/org.kde.konsole.desktop and the restriction should work with older kconfig versions too.
I just tried that (with Plasma 5.5.4 and KF 5.22.0) and it works, it even hides the konsole entry completely in the application menu.
