So I am still harderning KAuth helper a bit... Perfect, this is the proper approach. Some GUI apps just execute all the GUI as root, which is prone to troubles. Thank you for your great work!

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397542 Andrius Štikonas changed: What|Removed |Added Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |FIXED --- Comment #5 from Andrius Štikonas --- It worked for me last time I tried 3.3 (and I use wayland). Maybe you were trying to run it under XWayland, not wayland? In that case you can try "xhost +", it helps with GParted too but note that there are security implications. Anyway, current git no longer uses kdesu, so this would be fixed anyway, you can already try it in neon bionic dev editions. NetworkManager and kwallet are unrelated... Kwallet just uses application password. Networkmanager uses polkit which is the method used in partitionmanager git (GUI runs as unprivileged user and executes non-GUI helpers as root). Although, to be able to use kauth/polkit we had to use it in a bit naughty way... So I am still harderning KAuth helper a bit... kdesu works with kate. It's just kate that doesn't allow running as root. In general you shouldn't run any GUI apps as root. kate even prints a warning if you run it with kdesu -t kate -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397542 --- Comment #2 from Mark --- Thanks for your testing, Alexander. From your description it seems you're running a normal X session, right? As the bug states, this is a problem only on wayland (in sddm choose Plasma (Wayland) session). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
