Suffice it to say that I was configuring when I shouldn't have been and made a huge error; before I thought it through, I enabled the root user. It turned out that I didn't help so I then locked it out with the usermod -l command. Since then sudo -i hasn't even worked within a terminal session.
I might get round to fixing it one of these days.
Also sudo -i or sudo -sH not sudo -si

Tried -si but it did not work for me either, so I am now using -sH. Wonder what I am supposed to be embarressed about?

Possible problems of course depend on what you do in the shell, but generally it's safer to have a "full" root environment in a root shell.

In my case, that's the desired behaviour., but use sudo -sH as sudo -i gives an error that the current user in unavailable.Last edited by elijathegold; Jun 01, 2016, 03:22 AM.

If you are trying to have root konsole, then change the command in the menu entry to konsole -e sudo -s which will ask for your password inside konsole

There appears to be a bug which, for some applications, can be worked around by running sudo ln -s /usr/bin/kdesudo /usr/bin/kdesu and I guess using kdesu konsole.

Root konsole; Sorry - Plasma!
Editing konsole in the menu and running gives these 'Sorry - Plasma' error messages:
sudo konsole KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/sudo'
kdesu konsole KDEInit could not launch '/urs/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kf5/kdesu
Help would be appreciated!
