Technically it is indeed true that one should use kdesudo, but one can use sudo, that also worked until 4.2.3, so technically it is a regression and in fact, it really is one. So the regression outweighs the you-should-use-kdesudo-invalididation since the former is real and technical and the latter is only technical but not real.
Really, don't try to understand that :P Anyway, I don't like this being marked invalid, since it _is_ a regression, and I am quite sure upstream would not have this invalid either. Also, this regression most likely got a much more important cause than just having sudo fight with the environment. Starting the app should not invoke startkde, that is for sure, yet it does, so something is horribly wrong. Someone please forward this report upstream, or mark a possibly already existing one. ** Changed in: kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed ** Also affects: kdebase Importance: Undecided Status: New -- KDE Crashes Whenever I Edit A Text File with Sudo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378394 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
