Bug#536441: [kdm] kdm-settings does not start as root: quick-and-dirty fix
Package: kdm
Version: 4:4.4.5-7
Tags: patch
A quick-and-dirty fix would be to simply launch something like "kdesu kcmshell4
kdm" from the kdm settings dialog if we are not root:
#include
if (geteuid() != 0) {
// launch kdesu, workaround until KDE 4.5 for debian bugs
523094 536441 546376 575746 580269 602976
QProcess kdesu_process;
kdesu_process.startDetached("/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu",QStringList("/usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/kdmconfig_root.sh"));
}
content of /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/kdmconfig_root.sh:
#!/bin/sh
[ $(id -u) -eq 0 ] && kcmshell4 kdm
The id check is necessary because if a user presses the ignore button another
kdm-settings would be launched which asks him for the root password again.
Code status: This code is not yet tested inside kdm-config, only inside a demo
qt application, because I have no experience with patching and building kdm. If
you think it is good I can test it further. The shell script was tested as root
and non-root with dash and bash.
I tagged this "patch" because it is probably only a few lines away from being a
real patch. If you think the tagging is wrong, please remove it.
This solution would, in contrast to adding a button or message box, not require
any locale changes.
Thanks for any feedback
Max Gaukler

Bug#469343: [kdepim] imap groupware not working
Package: kdepim-runtime Version: 4:4.4.7-1 Korganizer still cannot show calendars from a kolab server. Creating a new event fails with "no resource with write access found. change kmail settings first.". It is sad that this "important" bug is not fixed for more than three years now and if there is something I can do I would like to help fixing it. Console output: Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) korganizer(5534) KDBusServiceStarter::findServiceFor: KDBusServiceStarter: No service implementing "DBUS/ResourceBackend/IMAP" korganizer(5534)/kresources: Couldn't connect to the IMAP resource backend korganizer(5534)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig: korganizer(5534)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig: QPixmap::setMask: Cannot set mask while pixmap is being painted on QPixmap::setMask: Cannot set mask while pixmap is being painted on QPixmap::setMask: Cannot set mask while pixmap is being painted on korganizer(5534)/kdepimlibs (kabc) KABC::LockNull::lock: LockNull::lock() force success. Doesn't actually lock. korganizer(5534)/kresources Kolab::ResourceKolabBase::findWritableResource: No writable resource found! Should this bug be reassigned to kdepim-runtime? Is there anything I can do to investigate this bug?

Bug#469343: [kdepim] imap groupware not working
Hello, I found a dirty hack to make IMAP groupware in korganizer work: Change the service type in/usr/share/applications/kde4/KMail.desktop X-KDE-ServiceTypes=DBUS/ResourceBackend/IMAP,DBUS/Mailer #X-KDE-ServiceTypes=DBUS/Mailer Log out and log in back again. (BTW, is there a faster way to reload service types?) Now IMAP groupware works, but KMail starts whenever groupware is used: - at login because of fhe KOrganizer notifier icon - When starting KOrganizer - When adding events in organizer This behaviour (kmail always starts) is filed as a bug here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93203 Can it be that some fix caused this bug as a regression? It seems that no .desktop file provides this. Is there a way so that KMail only starts quietly in background? Links to similar bugreports at other places: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/522063 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/14309 Someone experienced with kde should easily see how to fix this, I appreciate any hint.
