Hi Michele, Sorry for slow reply. > > 1) Can you explain how you put konquerorsu on desktop? which file did you > copy and edit? I refer to your first email where you mentioned you changed > "NoDisplay" but I don't see that in konquerorsu.desktop. This appears to be how the konquerorsu.desktop file is set up on ubuntu installs. I first posted this problem to the users list and Thierry de Coulon who is using debian and R14.0.10 (development) cannot find that line in his konquerorsu.desktop file. It appears that debian and fedora (at least my old fedora core 3 that I'm mailing from) do not need that line in the desktop file as the super user file manager is put on the desktop menu as default. Anyway I've attached my desktop file and you can see for yourself. At the bottom of the file you will see the line in question which I changed from true to false which is how it shows now. Having done that I log out and back in and a new entry "Superuser" which extends to "File Manager - Super User Mode" is added to the "System" part of the menu. See attachment > > 2) does konqueror (without su) works fine? Yes konqueror, both as a file manger and for webbrowsing works without anyu problems whatsoever. > > 3) it would be useful if you setup your root account and try running > konqueror from a root session for comparison. Ok. I've got a problem here. I created a root password then unlocked the password file (which removed the lock (lower case L) but cannot find out how to add a root login user to the login menu. So at the moment I'm a bit stuck on being able to login as root. > > 4) anything strange in .xsession-errors? Nothing more that the same output that Konsole kicks out when trying to open konquerorsu with "sudo konqueror --profile filemanagement" which you have already seen. > > Cheers > Michele Now a question. Is there a way to install an earlier TDE release (R14.0.6) for example on xubuntu 16.04? I thought that I might be able to work my way up through the releases until this konquerorsu problem occured on one of them. My xubuntu 14.04 trusty has R14.0.4 and that has no problems with konquerorsu opening as it should. At least we would the know if this problem is specific to R14.0.9 or is present on some earlier releases as well. All the best, Nigel.
