That is what the patches do for you, so you don't have to edit it by hand every time.
For someone who has an unpatched version, if you run dolphin started by root, but in a separate user namespace, does it work? | Code: | | /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/unshare --user -- dolphin |
Similarly, based on the check that everyone keeps patching out, you could just make a wrapper that unsets the environment variables that it uses to detect this path, as I suggested back in February. |

It works if source files are unchanged, but it doesn't work if something was changed and you have to re-write patch. This case it easier to edit source file than re-create patch every time. I just editing main.cpp and do not waiting when someone will re-create and share patch suitable for new file version. |

Blind_Sniper,
Thanks for the reply.
Sounds like from what you say if I just remove or rename the old dolphin patch and rebuild dolphin without the patch I shoud be able to get the old behavior from years ago.
That is : as user type kdesu dolphin (or use the kdol alias) in a konsole, and the dialog box for entering the root password will pop up.
Will give it a try.

I do not know how it will work at your side.
I just shared my expirience.
And it works for me on every update.
Hope it will work for you too. |

It is possible to launch Dolphin 19.04.3 as root from your user account by using the pkexec command:
| Code: | | $ pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5 KDE_FULL_SESSION=true dolphin |
Dolphin first displays an orange-coloured box with the warning message 'Running Dolphin as root can be dangerous. Please be careful.' and you can then browse and open root-owned directories and files.
You can also launch Kate 19.04.3 and KWrite 19.04.3 as root from your user account in the same way:
| Code: | | $ pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5 KDE_FULL_SESSION=true kate |
| Code: | | $ pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5 KDE_FULL_SESSION=true kwrite |
You can set an alias in your ~/.bashrc for the three commands:
| Code: | $ tail -n 3 ~/.bashrc
alias dolroot="pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5 KDE_FULL_SESSION=true dolphin"
alias kateroot="pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5 KDE_FULL_SESSION=true kate"
alias kwriteroot="pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5 KDE_FULL_SESSION=true kwrite" |
Makes it easy to launch them as root from e.g. Konsole or Yakuake:
| Code: | $ dolroot
$ kateroot
$ kwriteroot |

1. GDBus? Isn't that in GNOME or one of the other desktop environments that uses GNOME's GLib? Are you by any chance using Dolphin in a different desktop environment to KDE?
2. Is the applicable Polkit authentication agent running?:
| Code: | ps -ef | grep -E 'polkit.*agent' | grep -v grep
fitzcar+ 828 1 0 01:37 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib64/libexec/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 |
3. Are you using systemd or OpenRC?
4. If you're using OpenRC, are you using ConsoleKit or elogind?
EDIT: These pkexec commands work for me with Dolphin/Kate/KWrite 19.04.3 in KDE on two machines: one is running OpenRC+elogind & Plasma 5.16.3, the other is running systemd & Plasma 5.16.3.

@Fitzcarraldo
I apologize for causing you to write all that.
My post was meant to be humorous and not seeking help.
My system is a bit weird so I know better than ask for help in the forum.
I am using OpenRC-0.17 and Plasma 4. On top of that I can run most of
the latest kde-apps/*:5 and some gnomy apps I like (e.g. Gucharmap).
I use "startx" to start Xwindows. I have deleted all /etc/xdg/autostart/* unless there is
something I really need (e.g. kmix). I have no use for the
polkit, consolekit crapware but these are pulled in as a dependencies by apps
I need (e.g. AnyDesk). I let them live on my system as long as they do not
interfere with what I do.
Occasionally I need to run Dolphin as root and the simple patch does what I need.
I almost never use kate or kwrite but having them at hand does no harm.
PS. I am an avid reader of your blog page. |

Ah, OK, if you don't have Polkit installed then the Polkit command pkexec is obviously not going to work.
But for 'normal' KDE Plasma 5 users it will work as shown in my earlier post. And, with either an alias or a two-line wrapper script, this method is as easy as the old method of using sudo or kdesu that KDE's Martin Gräßlin disabled*:
If an alias is used, rooted-Dolphin can be launched from the command line but cannot be launched via KDE's Application Launcher menu or KRunner. If a wrapper script is used, rooted-Dolphin can be launched from the user's command line and via KDE's Application Launcher menu (and therefore via KRunner too):
| Code: | $ ls -la *root
-rwx------ 1 fitzcarraldo fitzcarraldo 115 Jul 30 15:33 dolroot
-rwx------ 1 fitzcarraldo fitzcarraldo 112 Jul 30 15:34 kateroot
-rwx------ 1 fitzcarraldo fitzcarraldo 114 Jul 30 15:34 kwriteroot |
| Code: | $ cat dolroot
#!/bin/bash
pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5 KDE_FULL_SESSION=true dolphin |
After adding entries for dolroot, kateroot and kwriteroot to the KDE Application Launcher's menu, you can press Alt+F2 as usual to display the KRunner launcher then enter 'dolroot', 'kateroot' or 'kwriteroot' (without the quotes, obviously) in the KRunner window to launch Dolphin/Kate/KWrite as root. A window will pop-up for you to enter the root user's password.
* Thankfully KDE's Nathaniel Graham is pragmatic, unlike KDE's Martin Gräßlin:
D12795 - Re-allow running Dolphin as the root user (but still not using sudo)
D12732 - Show a warning when running as the root user

This is great mate, even though it wasn't necessarily meant for me, still, i'd like to thank you for posting.
For now, @proteusx's patch is working fine for me. but I might use your solution in the future instead.
Hopefully, the hole you found wouldn't be covered by that time... |

Please post your patch file.
But make sure that you applied the latest kwrite patch.
Alternatively you may edit main.cpp by hand as described in this post. |

proteusx,
Sorry to report, but none of the last few dolphin patches have worked on my systems. In past years, I just used a little user .bash.rc | Code: | | alias kdol="kdesu dolphin" |
and the dialog window popped up for the root password, and then dolphin opened as root. No fuss, No muss. Sure miss those old days when it just worked great.
Since at least 18.04 dolphin with patch, I always get "bash: kdesu: command not found" as user or as root, despite rebuilding both dolphin and kdesu and the fact that both are installed.
Only thing that has and still is working (after rebuilding dolphin without the patch) is my current /root/.bash.rc alias, which never fails, although it still has the annoying "Running Dolphin as root can be dangerous. Please be careful" message.
| Code: | | alias kdol="export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=kde && dolphin" |
I get the root dolphin, but also in the root konsole I have output like: | Code: | gentoo-main ~ # kdol
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'

This output varies and extends depending on what I'm doing in dolphin.

Did the patch fail?
Maybe something is amiss with your kdesu. Is kde-cli-tools compiled with USE=kdesu?
In my case, dolphin compiled with patch, I run as user and I get a root dolphin without that irritating "be careful" warning.
The only warning I see is in the terminal is | Code: | | Don't need password!! |
but this may be related to the fact that I have crippled pam so I can get to root without a password.
When I run dolphin from a root konsole like so:
I again get a root dolphin, with the same warning messages you report, but this time dolphin appears to be running under root's desktop environment. |

proteusx,
Thanks much for the reply. Yes, the patches have always applied fine. However, I just checked, and sure enough :
| Quote: | gentoo-main ~ # emerge kde-cli-tools -pv
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools-5.16.5:5::gentoo USE="X handbook -debug -kdesu -test" 0 KiB |
I'll re-apply the patch, and rebuild dolphin. and rebuild kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools with the kdesu flag enabled.
Hmm... Just checked the ebuild, and found: | Code: | IUSE="kdesu X"
REQUIRED_USE="kdesu? ( X )" |
Is kdesu the default, and if so, why the REQUIRED_USE="kdesu? with the question mark? Does this mean kdesu flag must be used with X?
Wonder why my system portage says -kdesu? Will check my package.use file, but don't think I've ever had much kde stuff in it. Nope- nothing there.
https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools doesn't mention the kdesu flag, only handbook and test.

I think it means you can have kdesu only with X.
Probably because wayland cannot do kdesu. |

proteusx,
Placing kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools kdesu in /etc/portage/package.use, and rebuilding kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools, kdesu, and dolphin with your latest 19.08.01-root.patch solved my problems! 
I can now use my original /home/wrc/.bashrc | Code: | | alias kdol="kdesu dolphin" |
as in years past, where typing kdol in a user konsole popped up a root password dialog box, and typing my root password opened dolphin as root, without the annoying warning message. Many thanks to proteusx for maintaining this patch, and pointing out kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools needed the kdesu USE flag.
I'm still wondering why my three Gentoo systems kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools packages apparently began defaulting to -kdesu sometime around version >=17.04.

| Has anyone tried the dolphin-19.08.1 patch with 19.08.3? I haven't had any luck. |
