alt+f2 : kdesudo dolphin error

[steveee]

My first post, so hello to everyone
My problem is when try to run dolphin as root using krunner and typing kdesudo/kdesu dolphin, i'm getting error. Dolphin opens, but in statusbar there's a error message:
"Could not start process Cannot talk to klauncher : The name org.kde.klauncher was not provided by any .service files. "
Then i can't open any location/folder, anything. But if type in konsole sudo/kdesudo dolphin it runs normally.

Any suggestions ?
Thanks

I tried it and I got the same error, maybe it is default weird behaviour. There were always problems with Dolphin root. I offer you a workaround which I use. Install krusader and you will get beside normal icon in Kicker Tools menu a red icon in System menu for krusader root. Maybe you will like krusader, as well as I do.

thank you for the reply,
this is not big problem, and i wanted to see is this happening only to me,obviously not.
As a workaround i am using konqueror, and of course there is konsole...I hope this will be fixed in future.

What you can also do, if you really want to use Dolphin, is after running the command "kdesudo dolphin" then run "kdesudo konqueror". When you go back to Dolphin you'll find that it functions as long as Konqueror is open too.

This is a known problem. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165268

The workaround mentioned - using kdesudo 'dolphin --nofork' (including the single quotes) - works for me.

Try Alt-F2 "dbus-launch kdesudo dolphin"
