Taken from openSUSE: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/KDE:Applications/dolphin/0001-Revert-Disallow-executing-Dolphin-as-root-on-Linux.patch?expand=1 From ba74d639178916221c748b0d5d89f7ac4f5ed669 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fabian Vogt Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2017 14:00:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "Disallow executing Dolphin as root on Linux" This reverts commit 0bdd8e0b0516555c6233fdc7901e9b417cf89791. We ship a desktop file to open dolphin as root and we allow YaST on the desktop. So this patch is absolutely pointless for us. --- src/main.cpp | 13 ------------- 1 file changed, 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/main.cpp b/src/main.cpp index 789a52996..acba8daed 100644 --- a/src/main.cpp +++ b/src/main.cpp @@ -35,21 +35,8 @@ #include #include -#ifndef Q_OS_WIN -#include -#endif -#include - extern "C" Q_DECL_EXPORT int kdemain(int argc, char **argv) { -#ifndef Q_OS_WIN - // Check whether we are running as root - if (getuid() == 0) { - std::cout << "Executing Dolphin as root is not possible." << std::endl; - return EXIT_FAILURE; - } -#endif - QApplication app(argc, argv); app.setAttribute(Qt::AA_UseHighDpiPixmaps, true); app.setWindowIcon(QIcon::fromTheme(QStringLiteral("system-file-manager"), app.windowIcon())); -- 2.12.0
