Bug ID: 494481
Summary: Running an app with elevated privileges (sudo) forces
other app to run under sudo
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.1.4
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: d...@rhoatech.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I tried running 'Game Conqueror', and when it launches it asks for elevated
privileges, once the application has launched and in the application you select
to load a file, it will launch it's own file browser as root, but also it
causes Nextcloud which I have in my system tray to re-launch another instance
also running as root
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have Nextcloud desktop running in system tray as your user account
2. Launch Game Conqueror, select to load/browse the file to load a saved config
from disk
OBSERVED RESULT
This spawns a new instance of a number of things running as root, such as
Nextcloud desktop. Things also listed under the application are things like
xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-document-portal (also running as root)
EXPECTED RESULT
Doesn't relaunch irrelevant programs as root
