| markus_d | How would I start kate in root modus? | 08:55 |
|---|---|---|
| hateball | markus_d: kdesudo kate | 08:55 |
| hateball | markus_d: do not ever run GUI using only sudo, that has the potential to break things | 08:55 |
| markus_d | Executing Kate as root is not possible. To edit files as root use: | 08:56 |
| markus_d | SUDO_EDITOR=kate sudoedit <file> | 08:56 |
| markus_d | weird | 08:56 |
| hateball | might be to prevent breaking | 08:57 |
| hateball | markus_d: just learn to use nano or some other cli editor :p | 08:57 |
| markus_d | I use nano on the command line while connected via ssh | 08:57 |
| markus_d | But on my desktop machine I want a graphical editor | 08:57 |
| markus_d | I have no clue what the response above want to tell me | 08:58 |
| markus_d | SUDO_EDITOR is a constant? | 08:59 |
| hateball | it sets the variable SUDO_EDITOR as kate | 08:59 |
| hateball | and then runs the command sudoedit against whatever file you want to edit | 09:00 |
| hateball | ugh, meeting time | 09:00 |
| lordievader | Good morning | 10:08 |
| markus_d | Its just not possible to run kate in root mode. Great changes :( | 10:27 |
| hateball | markus_d: sure it is | 10:29 |
| hateball | just has certain requirements | 10:29 |
| hateball | cant be a world writable/readable location etc | 10:29 |
| hateball | markus_d: SUDO_EDITOR=kate sudoedit /etc/hello.txt | 10:29 |
| hateball | that should work just fine | 10:30 |
| markus_d | sudoedit gives me the error that I cannot do that in a writable directory | 10:32 |
| markus_d | wtf?!?!? | 10:32 |
| markus_d | Can I turn that behavior off? I mean its my machine isn't it? | 10:33 |
| markus_d | I also want to browse my system files with kate. Like this that would be impossible, right? | 10:34 |

| ubottu | KDE bug 376624 in general "[request] Integrate polkit actions to kio" [Normal,Resolved: duplicate] | 10:37 |
| acheronuk | yes, kate has kauth integration for saving to protected files since ktexteditor in frameworks 5.34. you just get a dialogue asking for auth | 10:42 |
| markus_d | Stupid me. Thanks. This works | 10:44 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 10:58 |

| BluesKaj | Hi Sick_Rimmit | 19:36 |
| Proletario | Does the actual 17.10 distro include the fix so as not to affect the bios of Lenovo and Acer computers? | 20:22 |
| krytarik | !intel-spi | 20:24 |
| ubottu | The original release of Ubuntu 17.10 contained a bug that makes firmware memory read-only. See https://pad.lv/1734147 for more info. This bug has been fixed in 17.10's repositories (so upgrades are safe) and a new set of ISOs have been released (look for 17.10.1 in the filename). | 20:24 |
| Proletario | ok, thanks | 20:35 |
| acheronuk | Proletario: download links have been updated on https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/ to point to the respun ISOs as well | 20:43 |
| dax | some of the flavors have, some haven't. main ubuntu site hasn't. kubuntu shines, as usual ;) | 20:45 |
