The question I always forget to ask...

[Crow]

How did Crow escaped the syntax error? 

I have tried this through the time on minimum 20 installs (KDE), PC and laptop alike and never saw it working.

Probably I need to update and I will get the error   

I will try to produce that as soon as I get home.

Unlikely, this problem is all but new.

Gotcha!

/usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/sram_d.desktop

Open it using "Edit as root" (it works) and then remove those quote marks from the last line of that file. Save.
It should look like below:

Code: [Select]

Exec=kdesu rm -f -r %U

Try "Delete as root". It should work now.

If everyone finds this correct, then we should report it to Neal perhaps? or Archie?

Yup, this works for Delete as Root on folders and files.

My apologies, just failed

Open as root uses Konq ... should we change this to use Dolphin instead?

Open as root uses Konq ... should we change this to use Dolphin instead?

I would say yes .....  Dolphin is the default file manager of KDE ....

There are two servicemenus, Open as root and I'm removing one. I am also going to enable smb2rdc.desktop which certainly would require an extra package.

Yup sling-shot, works like charm!  Should indeed be brought to the attention of some.

+1, one more illogical action out of the way.

Twas an easy fix ... no big deal. Just that thank you all for pointing out stuff that don't work correctly. We certainly want to fix valid bugs,such as this.

All that's left now is to wait for DoAsRoot to be updated.
