Is there a way to create a root shell with konsole under KDE 4, as there was with KDE 3? The option for doing so has disappeared (or at least wandered off).

Re: Creating a root shell in KDE 4
I haven't done it (yet), but I'm sure if you run kmenuedit you can then add an item in the KMenu>System list called "Root Konsole" and set it up to invoke "kdesudo konsole" (you might need the entire path), and choose the Konsole icon for it. You'll still have to give your password before running it, of course. -

Re: Creating a root shell in KDE 4
Just did that. It works.
Right-click on the K icon and select Menu Editor.
Click the + next to System
Click New Item
In the General tab:
Name: Root Konsole
Description: Root Terminal
Command: konsole
In the Advanced tab:
Check the Run as a different user box
Username: root
Click on the Save icon (or File > Save).
Quit the Menu Editor.
K Menu > Applications > System > Root Konsole

Re: Creating a root shell in KDE 4
A note: There appears to be a "bug" in Application Launcher. The "bug" requires that an application name (General tab, name) be unique within the submenu you are creating the new entry, otherwise it won't show up when you access K Menu. The entry exists, as you can verify by going back into the Menu Editor.Windows no longer obstructs my view.

Re: Creating a root shell in KDE 4
You aren't missing anything, toad. That's how I do it too -- that's why I haven't bothered to set up such a menu item. However, a lot of folks are kind of addicted to point and click, I guess.Originally posted by toadI don't get it. I just run aand I have my root shell. What am I missingCode:sudo su -
