Bug 157733 is the side of the same coin. Marking as duplicate. Bug is that kdesu/do strips one level of quoting. Breaking with usual shell parsing behaviour:
kdesudo strips one level of quotes, that makes it unnecessarily complicated and deviates from sudo behaviour (and FWIW all other command line tools). kdesudo kate "one two" # opens 2 files: 'one' and 'two' -> BUG sudo kate "one two" # opens the file "one two" as all other commands do Achim ** Summary changed: - command chaining with "&&" doesn't work + command chaining with "&&" doesn't work AS IT strips one level of quoting -- command chaining with "&&" doesn't work AS IT strips one level of quoting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157043 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
