Package: konsole Version: 4:16.04.2-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Launching a root profile involving /bin/su --login (see below), opens a new shell window but no password is asked and konsole gets stuck (Closing the window on has "Application not responding"). This happens starting the konsole profile from cli as well as from the Konsole Profiles plasma widget. Other profiles that do not use /bin/su works correctly. Invoking su from a user profile shell works fine. My profile: $ cat .kde/share/apps/konsole/Root-Large-BRL.profile [Appearance] ColorScheme=BlackOnRandomLight Font=DejaVu Sans Mono,18,-1,2,50,0,0,0,0,0 [General] Command=/bin/su --login Directory=/root Name=Root-Large-BRL Parent=FALLBACK/ StartInCurrentSessionDir=false TerminalColumns=135 TerminalRows=17 Thanks for your time ric -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages konsole depends on: ii konsole-kpart 4:16.04.2-1 ii libc6 2.22-11 ii libkf5completion5 5.23.0-1 ii libkf5configcore5 5.23.0-1 ii libkf5configgui5 5.23.0-1 ii libkf5configwidgets5 5.22.0-1 ii libkf5coreaddons5 5.23.0-1 ii libkf5i18n5 5.22.1-1 ii libkf5iconthemes5 5.22.0-1 ii libkf5kdelibs4support5 5.22.0-2 ii libkf5kiowidgets5 5.22.0-1 ii libkf5notifyconfig5 5.22.0-1 ii libkf5widgetsaddons5 5.23.0-1 ii libkf5windowsystem5 5.23.0-1 ii libkf5xmlgui5 5.22.0-1 ii libqt5core5a 5.6.1+dfsg-2 ii libqt5gui5 5.6.1+dfsg-2 ii libqt5widgets5 5.6.1+dfsg-2 ii libstdc++6 6.1.1-7 konsole recommends no packages. konsole suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
