Hello,

Freshly installed arch with KDE and I can not run kdesu kate filename . When I enter this command it asks for a password and after that it does absolutely nothing. What can I do ?

Thanks

the "problem" is kate, not kdesudo or kdesu https://cgit.kde.org/kate.git/commit/?id=9adcebd3c2e476c8a32e9b455cc99f46b0e...

Hi,

did you expect "sudo" or "su"? IOW did you type the correct password "user" or "root" password? Did you run it from command line to get detailed information?

On my system I've got "kdesu4" installed, but there is no "kdesu" available.

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ ls -hAl /usr/bin/kdesu ls: cannot access '/usr/bin/kdesu': No such file or directory [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ ls -hAl /usr/bin/kdesu* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Jul 12 09:41 /usr/bin/kdesu4 -> /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Qo /usr/bin/kdesu4 /usr/bin/kdesu4 is owned by kdebase-runtime 17.04.3-1

So if I e.g. type

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ kdesu xed bash: kdesu: command not found

I get "command not found".

Btw. I don't use it ;).

Seemingly the command "kdesu" does exist on your machine, but it seems to be configured incorrectly.

Did you take care of

?
