[08:55] <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
[08:56] <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
[08:57] <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
[08:58] <markus_d> I have no clue what the response above want to tell me
[08:59] <markus_d> SUDO_EDITOR is a constant?
[08:59] <hateball> it sets the variable SUDO_EDITOR as kate
[09:00] <hateball> and then runs the command sudoedit against whatever file you want to edit
[09:00] <hateball> ugh, meeting time
[10:08] <lordievader> Good morning
[10:27] <markus_d> Its just not possible to run kate in root mode. Great changes :(
[10:29] <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
[10:30] <hateball> that should work just fine
[10:32] <markus_d> sudoedit gives me the error that I cannot do that in a writable directory
[10:32] <markus_d> wtf?!?!?
[10:33] <markus_d> Can I turn that behavior off? I mean its my machine isn't it?
[10:34] <markus_d> I also want to browse my system files with kate. Like this that would be impossible, right?
[10:37] <oerheks> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376624
[10:42] <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
[10:44] <markus_d> Stupid me. Thanks. This works
[10:58] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:30] <markus_d> When I try to setup Instant messaging (Google Account) it just crashes
[11:30] <markus_d> userActionFinished error: 2
[11:37] <gianni> Hi, since update-apt-xapi is draining all my resources on every start-up, is there a way to disable it?
[18:05] <qwip> BluesKaj: what font do you use in kde?
[18:10] <BluesKaj> qwip, dejavu sans
[18:10] <qwip> BluesKaj: for gnome? or kde?
[18:11] <BluesKaj> both
[18:12] <qwip> BluesKaj: thanks
[19:36] <BluesKaj> Hi Sick_Rimmit
[20:22] <Proletario> Does the actual 17.10 distro include the fix so as not to affect the bios of Lenovo and Acer computers?
