Bug ID: 427912
Summary: kdesu doesn't work on wayland
Product: kdesu
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kdesu
Assignee: kdesu-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: franz.trischber...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
kdesu under wayland (no matter if run from within plasma wayland session or
gnome wayland) doesn't do anything.
Under X (tested in plasma and gnome) kdesu does what I want to use it for - run
an application as a different user.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. login to a wayland session as user1
2. run e.g. konsole as user2 with the command
kdesu -n -u user2 konsole
OBSERVED RESULT
kdesu simply returns without opening a konsole window
EXPECTED RESULT
A konsole window with user2 as process owner is spawned.
Like it works when run from within an X session.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
