Public bug reported:
Hello,
kubuntu 18.04 beta 1
I often use :
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true
X-KDE-Username=root
in the file ".desktop" for applications who may have root id.
Example, luckybackup, system-config-samba....
No bug in a plasma session.
With wayland, using the same desktop, the application asked for passwd
and then stop.
I understood that is for security reasons. That's means all the
"graphics" applications needing root id are prohibited.
Sorry, english is not my native langage.
