No More Dolphin Root Workaround?

[BarryHavenga]

Why is this not working now. I want it back.

Well, here, same neon as vinny, I get lots of "QStandardPaths:" stuff, but no "Session bus not found" at all, and Dolphin runs as root just fine.

I have to determine that Plasma just doesn't work well with this setup in the siggy. There seems to be a myriad of "polishing" touches that don't seem to work with Plasma on this rig. I'm going to have to test this out on my other Plasma installs, I still have Neon on another of my rigs and on my son's mini PC. I'll have to see if these same "visuals" happen or if it's limited to my specific setup. Well, except Dolphin as root, I know that works on both of those already.

About not liking to have more than one file manager though... I can't think of a possible reason for it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]8333[/ATTACH]

As I said, that's a quirk of mine. However, Krusader is on my list of just don't like at all. I've tried it several times, just doesn't do it for me. Plus, as I mentioned, the interaction between file manager and Ark doesn't seem to run as smooth when using something other then Dolphin. Again, on this particular rig.

did you run it in a konsole to see at least some output ?

See attached for output.

their is always Krusader

Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of Krusader. I don't like the UI at all. Besides that, on this very machine, when I remove Dolphin (I don't like having more then one file manager installed a time, probably very much alone in that, but that is a quirk of mine) and use Krusader, interaction between Ark and Krusader is far, far from as smooth as Dolphin and Ark. Now the quirks of Ark and Krusader may be due to something that I may be doing or something to do with the hardware that it's on, I dunno. Either way, I can't get past Krusader's UI, for me it is far from efficient (in reality, how it's setup it might be even more efficient then Dolphin, but it just doesn't work for me).

Not on this though:

Operating System: Kubuntu 19.10
KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.62.0
Qt Version: 5.12.4
Kernel Version: 5.3.0-18-generic
OS Type: 64-bit

No other tweaks, just a fresh install.

? it's still working hear on this

Operating System: KDE neon Testing Edition
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.64.0
Qt Version: 5.13.1
Kernel Version: 5.0.0-30-generic
OS Type: 64-bit

but I did other tweaks as well like it opening with red folders and such , cant really remember .

I had this code setup as a script file:

pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5 KDE_FULL_SESSION=true dolphin $HOME

That was later tied to a desktop file so I could use Krunner to easily run it.

And it will pop up asking for the password and as soon as I enter in the password everything will just close out. Dolphin won't launch.

Is this workaround no longer valid in 19.10?
