Riddellhi cmvo baby04:10
cmvoI think I found something (or it :-) in case of the admin problem:04:12
cmvokdesu_stub gets passed "KDESYCOCA=/tmp/kde-user/ksycoca" in the environment by 04:12
cmvokdesu.04:12
cmvo /tmp/kde-user/ksycoca is a symlink to /var/tmp/kdecache-user/ksycoca04:13
cmvoThis symlink does not exist after a reboot, but gets created by kbuildsycoca.04:13
cmvoWhen the symlink is created admin mode works, when it is delete it does not.04:14
Riddellcmvo: wow04:21
cmvoWhen kded later detects a change in software (I don't know what kded is watching in detail) it runs kbuildsycoca which also creates the link.04:23
Riddellso get kdesu to create that link and we're sorted04:23
cmvoThis could be an explanation why the problem is so erratic. Anytime kded runs kbuildsycoca admin mode begins to work until the next reboot.04:24
Riddellmakes me wonder what deletes that symlink04:25
Riddellbut it does sound like the sort of thing that could get deleted by various things which is why other distros would have occational problems too04:25
cmvoIsn't /tmp cleaned on any reboot?04:26
Riddellhmm, not sure04:27
Riddellbut if it was then how come it works most of the time04:27
cmvoIts cleaned in /etc/init.d/bootclean.sh after $TMPTIME days. TMPTIME is 0 int /etc/default/rcS.04:28
cmvos/int/in/04:29
Riddellyou're ahead of me :)04:29
RiddellI guess it works after reboot if there's been a good reason to run kbuildsycoca04:29
Riddellwhich explains why a fresh install or new user is fine since they will have had kbuildsycoca run04:30
cmvoJust searched to /tmp in init.d :-)04:30
cmvos/to/for/ (I type too fast)04:31
cmvoAlso kded runs kbuildsycoca when it delects new kde programs. Then admin mode also works until the next reboot.04:32
cmvoBut I don't think it should be kdesu to create the link. Maybe kded is the better place.04:33
=== seth_k [n=seth@asmallorange.com] has joined #kubuntu-devel
cmvoAs a bandaid fix add:04:34
cmvo[General] 04:34
cmvoCheckFileStamps=false04:34
cmvoto .kde/share/config/kdedrc then kbuildsycoca is run on every reboot.04:35
cmvoI don't know if /tmp/kde-user is a historic place for ksycoca. Maybe kdesu shouldn't pass it on in the first place. kdesu uses locateLocal() to create the tmp path. And this04:48
cmvofunction disappears in the depth of KDE. Maybe it just searches /tmp before /var/tmp.04:49

Riddelland it could go in breezy-backports if you ask mez05:25

Riddellcmvo: do you think that if we just patch kdesu to pass KDESYCOCA=/var/tmp/kdecache-user/ksycoca that would fix it?05:29
cmvoI've looked through kded.cpp maybe just changing the first parameter of locateLocal() from "tmp" to "cache" could fix it too.05:36
cmvoI just give it a try and look and see what parameter gets passed to kdesu_stub05:36
