Opening BASH Progs from KDE Menu

[janthes]

Hey guys,

I'm fiddling around with KDE's menu editor and what I can't seem to figure out is how to launch BASH apps in a new Konsole window and keep it there.

What I'm trying to do is launch TestDisk from K's menu, I ticked on "Run in Terminal" and "Run as Different User" and saved. When I go to my assigned menu portion, Konsole pops up, asks for my password, then once I type it in, Konsole closes on me.

I'm overall a new Linux user, so forgive me if this is a "noob" question. Help would be much appreciated.

Instead of checking "run in terminal", try prepending "konsole -e" to the command, which opens Konsole and tells it to execute the rest of the command. You can also add the option --noclose before the -e to tell it not to close when all the processes close, useful for debugging.
