Bug ID: 458295
Summary: System Monitor does not send signals to processes
owned by other users
Product: plasma-systemmonitor
Version: 5.24.4
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: ksysguard-b...@kde.org
Reporter: andy...@mail.ru
CC: ahiems...@heimr.nl, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Sending signals to processes owned by a different user (e.g. root) doesn't
work. KSysGuard did support this feature - it would ask for a root password to
gain permissions.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In the process list, select a process running under a different user, e.g.
root.
2. Right click and Send Signal -> SIGKILL.
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens, the process keeps running.
EXPECTED RESULT
System Monitor should show the standard dialog for entering the root password,
then the signal should be sent to the process.
