Re: kdesudo

hm,

i've tried the second one in the wiki, but it doesn't seem to work.
when i run "kdesu -t -c "pacman -Sy"" i still have to enter my root not user password.
any ideas?

Re: kdesudo

kdesu is only for graphical (GUI) programs. CLI apps like pacman can be run with sudo or as root. e.g.

sudo pacman -Syu

su
<enter root password>
pacman -Syu

Re: kdesudo

yes i know.
but i want to use pacman in a non-interactive console. that means i want to ask a user for his passwd through kdesudo
and then show the pacman output in a console.
