Root Actions context menu in Dolphin

[uncle mark]

New install of MX 14.4 with KDE. One of the last things I'd like to do is get the Root Actions context menu working in Dolphin. I fought this before on an install I was doing a few weeks back and never did get it dealt with.

I'm talking about the Root Actions Servicemenu by 'kubicle'. Yes, ruby is installed. It says it can't put the .py file where it's supposed to be and I'm sposed to move it or link it. No matter what I try, it doesn't work. The entries show up in the Dolphin RC menu, but always error with a "not able to find" message or some such.

I'm sure this is some simple PEBKAC error, but I'll be damned if I can figure out what it is.

Otherwise, now that I've got Firefox looking like Firefox and Thunderbird beaten into submission, this install rocks.

Kubicle posted this requirement:

The menu needs a properly configured kdesu/kdesudo to work (kdesudo is preferred, for some added functionality, like remembering password for a period of time...timeout is configurable by sudo settings)

I don't know if it's pertinent or not.

logout and then login afterwards.

I just added KDE4 on my MX-14 install, most of the 'Root Actions' seem to work after I created a kdesu symlink:

Code: Select all

ln -sf /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu /usr/bin/kdesu

One of the root actions that doesn't seem to work though is the 'Open as Text' action, the 'Open with ...' action does work if I type in 'kwrite' where it asks for the appname.

edit: using Stevo's 2.7.3-0mcr120+1 version kde-servicemenu-rootactions package

Try uninstalling leafpad.
