I am using Kubuntu Hardy with KDE4. I tried the solution but still I have not been able to get kdesu to work. Are there any other specific changes I need to make for Hardy to make kdesu work

Thanks a ton.

Yeah, thanks. I just installed Kubuntu 6.06 and ran into this problem. Your solution worked like a charm…except that kdesu asks for the root password instead of the user’s password (a la sudo). That just a minor annoyance though.

Heh, thanks for the positive feedback! I’m pretty amazed that this bug still exits.. I posted this three months ago.

Dude, you are a freakin genious! Thanks for posting this! That kdesu issue was annoying the hell out of me for the longest time.

The first thing I did after installing kubuntu was to rnable the root password. But I didn’t know about the kdeglobals line. How could the kubuntu testers miss something like a broken kdesu, that can be fixed in 1 line is beyond me.

Thank GOD and you for telling me about this!!. Iv’e been stuffing around with the sudoers file for a week thinking I was doing something wrong. – I knew it had something to with kde just didn’t have a clue where and how to change it. Your a blessing, now I can get back to enjoying kubuntu.
