<div dir="ltr">Hi Bill
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for your attention and email. It's clear you're
passionate about Kubuntu and this is the comment that I am
most interested in</div>

<div>'<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">I have been running

</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">That is precisely what we

OK I've been looking into how to resolve this problem, and
there is a method using kmenuedit and pkexec. I'm still
testing it and if all goes well, I will write it up for
others. Maybe you can test with me, it would be great to get
your experiences</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">Here are the steps</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">1.) Kicker Menu type
'kmenuedit' in the search box, and Run Kmenuedit</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">2.) When it opens choose the

select the menu</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">3.) New Item</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">4.) Give it a name e.g 'Root
Dolphin'</span></div>
<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">5.) In the command
type/copy: </span>pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY
XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5
KDE_FULL_SESSION=true dolphin</div>
<div>6.) Save</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now from the Kicker Menu type 'Root Dolphin'</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Voila! A sudo authorisation box should ask you for your
password, and once authenticated Dolphin opens and 'You Got
Root!'</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope that helps, and have a great day</div>

Worked a trick. Thanks so much. I put it in "System" because that's
where the dangerous stuff belongs. :o)<br>
<br>
I had found a website that had that command to be run from terminal
but I had no idea about kmenuedit. <br>
<br>
You are right, I do love Kubuntu. been a big fan for many years. I
started out with SuSe about 2000 on advice of several people but
somehow it just didn't fit me. Tried a couple others that were good
and I did like but when I found Kubuntu it was, kind of like baby
bears porridge and bed, just right. Never looked back until this
little hiccup.<br>
<br>
thak you So much.<br>

There are four boxes to be used in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury and ammo.
Please use in that order.
The soap box represents exercising one's right to freedom of speech to influence politics to defend liberty.
The ballot box represents exercising one's right to vote to elect a government which defends liberty.
The jury box represents using jury nullification to refuse to convict someone being prosecuted for breaking an unjust law that decreases liberty.
The ammo box represents exercising one's right to keep and bear arms to oppose, in armed conflict, a government that decreases liberty.
