Dolphin as root

Show all headers | View raw

Hi all,

Some time ago somebody decided that Dolphin was too dangerous when being 
used as root. (Don't lecture me on using sudo and not su.) My hobby work 
load is not subjected to any security problems, I am behind a pretty 
good firewall and I am a single user. I have to switch between user and 
root files a lot and the use of sudo is a pain you know where. For many 
reasons Dolphin was my goto package especially when copying or moving 
root files. I understand that the fury over the above change was so 
great that the developers backed off. To date I have not found a way to 
log in my Dolphin package as root. I am using KDE 5.14.5 desktop with 
Debian Buster and an AMD-64 processor.

There are a lot of forum entries telling how to correct the problem on 
Ubuntu but none of them work on Debian (missing software packages).

Can anyone tell me how to setup Dolphin for root use again. I have my 
Icon set up to ask for root login but the system won't allow its use.
