I found for me the following solution: There is only a symbolic link from /usr/bin/kdesu -> /usr/bin/kdesudo though you can use the following two commands to use kdesu as expected: sudo rm /usr/bin/kdesu # removing the symbolic link sudo ln -s /usr/bin/kdesu.distrib /usr/bin/kdesu # creating new

Well imho this just looks like a sudo and not a kdesudo problem... -- Starting applications as a different non-root user (kdesu -u) does not work after upgrade to Gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/140793 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the

kdesudo with -u option calls sudo -u instead. What is the result of a sudo -u skype skype ? If that doesn't work, it's either a bug in sudo or a problem in your sudo installation. If it does work, then it is a kdesudo specific bug, which I doubt, as kdesudo only wraps commands to sudo in the fir

I also confirm this. Reinstalled my system today with the Gutsy Beta. I tried to solve this problem by using kdesu instead of kdesudo but i cannot find it in the repository anymore. -- Starting applications as a different non-root user (kdesu -u) does not work after upgrade to Gutsy https://bug
