Version: (using KDE 4.0.5)
Installed from: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Description of problem:
Dolphin, launched by command "kdesu dolphin" does not work.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdebase-4.0.5-3.fc9.i386
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Press "Alt+F2". Enter "kdesu dolphin", where /usr/bin/kdesu - symbolic link to
/usr/libexec/kde4/kdesu.
2.Enjoy.
Actual results:
Dolphin write strange message:"Cannot talk to klauncher: The name org.kde.klauncher was not provided by any .service files". And does not
show contents of any folder.
Expected results:
It must work.
Additional info:
It strange, but if you enter "su", your root password and then from root run
"sudo dolphin" its work. And also then you can run dolphin by "Alt+F2" command
"kdesu dolphin" and now it is work! Very strange.

OK, after talking to sandsmark on #kde I found out the issue is related
to Xorg security. If I run "xhost +localhost:root" before trying "kdesu

know about OpenSuse and Fedora.

Well, now I remember that on the same distro I am having that problem
with KDE 4.1.0, I had KDE 3.5.9 installed. Back then I could run "kdesu
konqueror" and it would work without any problems.
So, if now a "kdesu dolphin" doesn't work as it should, I don't think it
is really a Xorg security problem, it is indeed a KDE problem.

Work around for me is just to use kde3 for su mode. Maybe there is a fix
on the way, as I see 4.1.3 is due in a few days

I ran into this same bug using openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 4.1.3. Running
dolphin as root (File Manager Super User Mode, provided by openSUSE
apparently) causes the same problem.
I hope this gets fixed soon, I actually like Dolphin. Guess I'll have to
use Konqueror for now, as that works fine with kdesu.

Hi all,
I just wanted to share a GUI-based work-around that solved the problem for me and I haven't seen it before in the forums.
1) Create a new entry for Dolphin on KDE Menu editor (you can copy-paste the normal one and label the new one as "Dolphin (SU)" or something similar).
2) Clic on it and, on the "Advanced" tab, select "Run as a different user --> root"
When runing it, you'll most likely get the same problem that has been repported here. The trick is in the following steps.
1) Left-clic on any folder --> properties
2) On the "General" tab, clic the small "key" right from "Type - folder".
3) A new window pops-up, where you can read "Application Preference Order". Just clic on "Add" and enter the "Dolphin (SU)" you've created previously.
Hope that does it for you.
PS: There is a chance that "Dolphin (SU)" may be added directly to the
top of that list, which may be an inconvenient if you have any desktop
shortcuts to folders. Just play with the "preference order" as you wish,
as long as the "Dolphin (SU)" application is on the list it should work.

Workaround works for me, thanks! A bit of a pain to have to do this
everytime I wanna access the other partition, but I'm sure it won't be
too long until this is fixed. At least, I hope not...

"kdesu dolphin" works fine here, and for Andras Mantia.
We both see a dbus-daemon running as root (with --autolaunch).
If dbus autolaunch doesn't work for you, I have to blame either a too
old DBUS version, or a distribution with a bad dbus setup possibly.

if I am running Dolphin Version 1.2 Using KDE 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0) "release 82.5"
under openSuse and others are using Fedora, Kubuntu, etc then it's a bit hard to understand how the distro is the problem
I am still having the problem and have a root dbus-daemon running and
running dbus-1-1.2.4-5.1

Strange, indeed. I tested and worked with opensuse, same dbus and svn trunk.
Now I did a reboot and it doesn't work anymore.
David, when I run kdesu dolphin, it starts the dbus session bus for root, but not kdeinit4.
root 6451 0.0 0.0 21128 860 ? Ss 01:33 0:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session

I wonder why it started at previous test. It was also clear that at that time kdesu dolphin took some seconds to start, and now it is almost instant.

Reopening then. Anyone with the bug, please look at the output in the terminal and the running processes, in order to find out 1) if dbus autostart works, and 2) if kdeinit4 starts (as root).
Double-check that the environment (PATH etc.) allows root to find kdeinit4, of course.......

Some tests:
- the problem isn't dbus, that is autolaunched, even if I kill the dbus processes, I will get new dbus processes, like:

- kdeinit4 will not start, that's the problem:
ps ux | grep kde
root 13136 0.5 1.0 211816 22192 ? Sl 11:11 0:00 /opt/kde4/bin/dolphin
root 13870 0.0 0.0 5284 812 pts/10 S+ 11:13 0:00 grep kde
The PATH contains kdeinit4.
Now the interesting is that "kdesu konqueror" works, it starts the
kdeinit4 for root and after that kdesu dolphin works as well.Probably
sometime in the past I run a root process that started kdeinit4, this
is why it worked. Sorry for confusing you David.
Here is what I have after starting kdesu konqueror:

As you can see, Dolphin and Konsole complain about a missing D-Bus server, while Konqueror does not.
kdesudo -u OTHER_USER Konqueror works and Konqueror can start other programs, including Dolphin and konsole.

As you can see, in both cases D-Bus has been started with the same
arguments (BTW: The D-Bus processes do not terminate when the sudo
session ends and accumulate. Argh!). However, there are no kded,
klauncher and kdeinit processes when starting Dolphin or Konsole.
I'm running KDE 4.2.00 under Kubuntu Intrepid.

It's exactly the same on Gentoo running 4.2.0.
This makes most applications completely useless when they're run using
'kdesu'.
Opening file dialogs just shows:
"Could not start process Cannot talk to klauncher: The name org.kde.klauncher was not provided by any .service files."
Trying to send a mail via KMail shows:

The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem (e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder.

D-Bus has autolaunch support, the running D-Bus session is even started
with the '--autostart' argument.

Besides what's been mentioned here, this also seems to affect me in Dolphin randomly when I double click files to open then inside Kate/any other process. Dolphin appears to freeze up for like 30 seconds, then finally shows this message, along with the other program saying the same thing. It happens so often and randomly I'm sick of it.

Oh, and if it helps, it also seems to do that on when opening files from

to work.. One time it took forever to open when I tried though, tried it
after and it worked normally fast. I've also gotten the "file://"

I can't seem to reproduce the behavior, and it just happens whenever it
feels like it. If you need anything else more specific, just ask.

Works for me too in in openSUSE 11.4
Strangely it uses the same style as my user, though I have never logged in as root or configured qtconfig as root.

What's not user-friendly about not using oxygen for root? One should not
work as root anyway and hanging apps are certainly a lot less user-
friendly than having them in some style.
Anyway. This is an oxygen bug and has nothing to do with openSUSE or
kdesu etc. So the component of this bug has to be either changed or this
one closed as "worksforme" and a new one opened against oxygen – in case
the bug is still reproducible with KDE 4.7.

I will create a new bug report against Oxygen since Oxygen is the only
thing showing this issue.
