kdesu: Su return with an error

J

jdemartin

Hello,

Installed FreeBSD 8.2 with KDE 4 on an Ubuntu Virtualbox guest, but when I run kdesu it says returned with an error and it will not let me run anything. I run KDE at startup by editing /etc/ttys:
Code: 
ttyv8 "/ usr/local/kd4/kdm" xterm on secure

Can anyone tell me a solution? Thank you.

PS: I am using a translator. Excuse me, my English is very limited.
 
Start Konsole. In the terminal window, type in the kdesu command. Then watch what is written onscreen to see what error messages it shows.

Also, test if you can use the normal su(1) command in the Konsole window.

By default, only users in the wheel group can use su(1). Make sure your user is in that group.

Things may have changed recently but I don't think that's the correct way to start KDE4.

5.7.3.1 The KDE Display Manager

Also make sure dbus is running, not too sure if KDE requires hald but it won't hurt either:
Code: 
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
