Hello,
I have a fresh install of OpenSUSE Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma 6.3.5.
Every time I open an app which needs root privileges (such as myrlyn) I’m greeted by the KDE su window to enter my password. Even if I tick “Remember my password”, this does not have any effects, and the next time I’m asked for my password again.
Any idea on how to ensure the “Remember my password” setting in KDE su is honoured?
Thanks!
That’s polkit.
I never tweaked it before, so I’ll just leave you with a link to its Arch wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Polkit
How long are you leaving it between uses, I’m wondering if it’s like sudo and only remembers your password for a little while.
Even immediately after
I know a lot of people will freak out about this and bitch about security. I know, but on my system, with only family and everyone having their own logins, I just don’t care. The benefits (for me) outweigh the risks. Anyway, that aside, I have edited my
/etc/sudoers
file and added the equivalent of:ceiron ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
I still have to run sudo for root apps (99% of what I do is command line), but I don’t have to type in a password every time. As I said, obvious security risk, so you decide if it’s worth it.
Will it asks for confirmation with a dialog (which would be nice) or will it behave like no password is needed?
I don’t have any sudo needing app that opens a gui, so I don’t know.
