Hello everybody,

When I try to create a Commander' s root instance I get

What' s wrong ?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

I'm a KDE user.... So, would you mind giving a bit more explanation than "create a
Commander's root instance"? Also, what version of Fedora?

OK.... I found "gnome-commander". It wasn't installed. I installed it, started it,
and requested a root session. Got the pop-up asking for a password. Entered it and
got a root window.

I then checked what was running and found this....

/usr/bin/kdesu gnome-commander

As I mentioned.... I'm a KDE user so as one would expect I have kde-runtime
installed which provides /usr/bin/kdesu

I could not find any package that supplies either xdg-su or gnomesu

I also just realized that my eyes missed your platform information at the top of your
original email.

So it is a bug in gnome-commander. Relies on something that isn't
available.

Seems it should be using polkit + pkexec?
