UID ownership issue - after upgrade with Adept

[kle]

Hello
I upgraded with Adept Manager to safe Hardy KDE3
All went very smoothly. Very nice. And I have enjoyed the discovery of a lot of lovely, discreet improvements.

But when I sudo into the grub menu.lst or other configuration files, I get the following error messages in the console:

Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-kle" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.
Error: "/tmp/kde-kle" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.
Error: "/tmp/ksocket-kle" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.

Am I supposed to do something about this? A tmp directory doesn't seem very important.

Re: UID ownership issue - after upgrade with Adept

the messages you're getting are nothing to worry about.

guess you're issueing something like:

sudo <gui_editor> /boot/grub/menu.lst

from command line.

if you're to start a gui with root privileges from command line, you'd better use:

kdesudo <gui> ...

actually...
you don't even need to start a terminal emulation (e.g. konsole).
you can enter that command after hitting alt-f2.
