Was last compiled/packages in 2019, but Ramon is not the developer of it, just the packager, and writing him a direct email with this issue is totally inappropriate.
Then remove kde-servicemenus-rootactions and try them. With KDE 5.24, it should no longer be necessary, anyway. It’s been dropped from the Manjaro repos.
Maybe it is not new, but I go to the repo there is not anything feedback to upsteam. So I try to make a issue to feedback. Though that has not been developed for a long time.
I am not meaning to remind Ramon to fix that issue. Just to remind him to stop pack it into community because it need to fix. So I email him/her/it.
If this is really totally inappropriate, I would like to apology. I really do not want to disturb any one or be disturbed. Any I believe a good feedback needed.
I have tried and tested all. So I think it is out-of-date. But I can not flag the package out-of-date like AUR. So I make this question. Thanks all the time.
If this removed, how to implement the same functionality in KDE 5.24?
@kearney As stated on the project’s page, “KDE Applications 17.04 release has disabled running kate (and dolphin) as root”. Apart from those actions, everything else works fine, except for deletion of multiple (over 20 or so) files. That’s based on my experience with these servicemenus, since I actively use only a limited set of actions like copying, moving/renaming, and deleting.
So to me it is clearly not a packaging issue.
I don’t see anything but a screenshot of Chinese text in the issue you linked, you explain that you click on what is on the image so this is not possible to understand anything if you don’t read Chinese, which most people here don’t.
Thanks for bring new things. An wired thing is that I can run dolphin as root use a pllugin Open Dolphin as root. I search about KDE Applications 17.04 and notice the date is April 20, 2017. So if that stated on the project’s page is true, I can not run it as root now. But I do can, so I think it wired.
this uses pkexec, but kde-servicemenus-rootactions uses one of this method (which one is found available first):
# Test for the working method to get root access on the host
if ( `which kdesudo` ) {
$SUCOMMAND = "$KDEBINPATH"."kdesudo -d --noignorebutton --"}
elsif ( `which kdesu` ) {
$SUCOMMAND = "$KDEBINPATH"."kdesu -d -c"}
elsif ( `which xdg-su` ) {
$SUCOMMAND = "xdg-su -c"}
else { $SUCOMMAND = "`kf5-config --path libexec`kf5/kdesu -c"}
If the other service menu is working for you then use that, and you can select in Dolphin Settings → Context Menu, which root action to enable/disable so you can remove what you don’t need or is not working.
