File manager super user mode not working
hello all, I am using kde 3.3.2 of sarge and have noticed that the file manager under the super user mode does not work correctly, i.e. all text documents are viewed as read-only and cannot be modified. Anyone experiencing this? Do I need to configure something manually? I don't recollect any problem with previuos kde versions. -- On this laptop no Windows system survives and LINUX POWER reigns UNLIMITED. Successfully Microsoft free since December 2002.

Re: Crash: File Manager - Super User Mode
OK, I think I figured it out. The villain is /tmp/mcop-username. Although I removed it it got rewritten with owner username.username when I restarted KDE. The solution was to first start KDE, *then* remove it and then do kdesu -t konqueror. Now /tmp/mcop-username is owned by root.root. I wonder if this really is the way it should be? Another problem is that after a reboot mcop-username is again written with username.username ownership, i. e. removing the relevant files/directories is only a temporary workaround!

Crash: File Manager - Super User Mode
Hi, File Manager - Super User Mode, which is somewhat hidden in K - System - More Programs, keeps crashing on my machine. When I start it, after some time the root-konqueror pops up for just a second and then vanishes again. Any idea? --Felix (still mixed Woody/Sid; Ralf's latest Woody packages installed)
File Manager - Super User Mode
Hello, If I try to run Konqueror as root while logged in as a normal user (same as clicking on File Manager - Super User Mode from the KDE menu) it crashes with this error: /tmp/mcop-cloverm is not owned by user. Of course not, because I just became root. If I chmod root.root /tmp/mcop-cloverm, it solves to problem, but than I can't run konqueror as the normal user any more. What gives?
