[arch-general] How do we handle sudo or kdesu in Archlinux?
Listmates, When I need to run apps a root for configuration purposes like kate, or konqueror File Management, I either put the command in the Alt+F2 run dialog or create a menu entry and then check [ ] run as different users and put 'root' in the different user text box.

When I try and access the apps I want to run as root, not only do I get the initial password prompt, but I get a second prompt after the app is closed. That has left me scratching my head. The other option is just to create the menu entries as sudo command which doesn't complain wheen opening whatever I need. What says the braintrust? Is this an arch issue or is it a kdemod issue?

Re: [arch-general] Why does my sound work sometimes not others?
David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. wrote: Now, I preface this with the fact that I have virtually no experience picking through the sound system in /proc, but it looks like I have 2? codecs required (HDA Codecc 0 3). Actually, that makes 2 of us! :-) All I know is what I've learned from fixing specific probs. I've run into. Now since this mostly Greek concerning the LSI ID and where the Realtek codec resides, I'll just have to put it to the list: Does this look normal? Anything I seem to be missing? Um not really sure. ALSA is kinda a black art, IMO. I'd basically just recommend that if this happens again, try following down my earlier list of suggestions. Plus a couple of other things you can look at: 1) is there any relevant output showing up in dmesg re: hda? 2) the snd-hda-intel apparently has a parm for model of machine, which some people have reported has fixed problems when they've used it. So you could try specifying the model when you load the module and see if that fixes it. Your machine is a Toshiba, right? So in your rc.conf, you could try changing this: MODULES=(... snd_hda_intel ...) to this: MODULES=(... snd_hda_intel model=toshiba ...) 3) The thing with the 2 codecs seems odd to me. Not sure what that's all about, but maybe that's having some impact? i.e., it's erroneously choosing to use the other codec for sound? One other thing about this problem is puzzling: the fact that your sound works, but then stops working when you log out and in again. Your sound module gets loaded at boot time, not at login time. So if your sound is working initially, that means the kernel loaded initialized the modules fine. And if it subsequently stops working after logging out, that would say to me that this is a KDE issue rather than a kernel/alsa issue. Do you have any funky settings tweaked in KDE whereby it's muting one of the sound controls, or bringing the volume down to zero? Is the KDE sound system (arts) somehow not initializing properly (or dying) when you log in the 2nd time? Have you tried restarting the KDE sound system when the sound fails? HTH, DR

Re: [arch-general] How do we handle sudo or kdesu in Archlinux?
I'm very cool with bypassing root-level security checks when originating from the physical machine. Anyway, another thing you can do is put some scripts in your path that override the application that you want to run and then just sudo run it. I'm not really sure what PATH KDM (and therefore KDE?) uses, but probably has to do something with either your user's .profile or root's .profile or bash_profile or something. Course, isn't there a way to just elevate your user to be a root-like account if you're going to be doing this anyway? Put your user in the root group or something. -AT

Anyway, another thing you can do is put some scripts in your path that override the application that you want to run and then just sudo run it. I'm not really sure what PATH KDM (and therefore KDE?) uses, but probably has to do something with either your user's .profile or root's .profile or bash_profile or something. Course, isn't there a way to just elevate your user to be a root-like account if you're going to be doing this anyway? Put your user in the root group or something. -AT Some times the old ways are still the best: After looking for other solutions, I just decided to dance with the one that brung me. kwritconfig works like a champ. To make use of this solution, after setting up regular sudo by: (1) configuring the sudoers file with 'visudo' as root (you cannot just edit /etc/sudoers): # visudo Then uncomment the following line to enable sudo without a password to members of the 'wheel' group: %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL (2) Add yourself to the wheel group in /etc/group. Example, in /etc/group: wheel::10:root,david ** If your user name isn't 'david', change as required (3) Then within KDE *as your regular user* not root, execute the following kwriteconfig command from the command line in konsole or xterm, or from the run dialog (Alt+F2): kwriteconfig --file kdesurc --group super-user-command --key super-user-command sudo (4) Your done! You can then run applications as root without a password simply by either using the run command (Alt+F2) and choosing options or using kmenuedit to modify a menu command and select the check box Run as a different user and enter 'root'. (either save the menu file or just execute the Alt+F2 run command. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Its configuration screen gets added into the KDE control center under Appearance Themes - GTK Styles and Fonts. If you look at my desktop snapshot, all 3 of those apps (Thunderbird, Eclipse, and Firefox) are GTK apps, and yet their UI's are picking up my KDE font and color settings. (Otherwise the windows would show up in a grey color.) HTH, DR Ok, Finally got around to making openOffice, etc. look decent. The keys were: 1. Install kdemod3-gtk-qt-engine (if using kdemod3) qtcurve-gtk2 qtcurve-kde3 gtk-chtheme 2. Select Theme in qtconfig 3. Set a smaller font size with gtk-chtheme Now openOffice looks great! -- David C.
