@mozo

Unless you can help me find out why that worked with the previous version of the package, and not with this one, I am inclined to believe this is because of changes to dbus itself rather than the packaging. I do not use dolphin, but I do use this package for things like launching dconf-editor as root with sudo, which works--though it should be noted that using sudo with dbus applications is generally recommended against.

If you are using KDE, the most often recommended method I see at first glance (google search of "sudo dolphin dbus" returns mostly results from ~2016, maybe when the [core] package dropped --enable-x11-autolaunch) is

kdesu dbus-launch dolphin

Several posts recommend installing the dbus-x11 package without saying why it worked.

Edit: have a look at the Archwiki page about running GUI applications as root. Much to my surprise the GVFS method worked with my filebrowser (pantheon-files). You might try

dolphin admin:///

you just made my day thanks for this!!!

quequotion commented on 2020-04-08 16:11

I no longer need this package myself, so quitting while I'm ahead.

It will periodically need a $pkgver bump or so to keep up with dbus in [core].

quequotion commented on 2020-03-03 02:38

Hold your horses people. I'll update the package soon.

Andy_Vetrov commented on 2020-02-23 09:02

@quequotion: Please add 'libdbus-1.so' in 'provides' section. This required for avahi starting from 0.8+6+g751be80-1.

mozo commented on 2019-02-18 16:48

Yes it works with "dolphin admin:///" and with "kdesu dbus-launch dolphin" but used to "sudo dolphin" which doesn't work anymore. It's not a big deal though :)

Unfortunately I don't have the knowledge to help you in this task.

Hmm, it installs but with the new version I can't open dolphin with: sudo dolphin

This is the single reason I installed dbus-x11.
