Sorry cannot confirm it. I double checked behaviour on the system I recognized it first. Inbetween I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 (Hardy still running KDE 3.5.x).
Still cannot start kate in root context with Open with.. Other. Sorry! I recently tried things on a different absolutely newly installed 8.04 Kubuntu. Same again. Message is (still same): Fehler - Konqueror (Exclamation mark !) KDEInit kann "kate" nicht starten. ((This is 32 Bit version - German )) If I can help you to find out what goes wrong here, let me know. -- KDEInit could not launch 'kate' error using konqueror with sudo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/72486 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is subscribed to kdebase in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
