From ba74d639178916221c748b0d5d89f7ac4f5ed669 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fabian Vogt Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2017 14:00:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "Disallow executing Dolphin as root on Linux" This reverts commit 0bdd8e0b0516555c6233fdc7901e9b417cf89791. We ship a desktop file to open dolphin as root and we allow YaST on the desktop. So this patch is absolutely pointless for us. --- src/main.cpp | 11 ------------- 1 file changed, 11 deletions(-) Index: dolphin-19.11.70git.20230406T015410~70b160f89/src/main.cpp =================================================================== --- dolphin-19.11.70git.20230406T015410~70b160f89.orig/src/main.cpp 2023-04-06 03:54:10.000000000 +0200 +++ dolphin-19.11.70git.20230406T015410~70b160f89/src/main.cpp 2023-04-07 01:06:53.444363054 +0200 @@ -50,24 +50,7 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) { -#ifndef Q_OS_WIN - // Prohibit using sudo or kdesu (but allow using the root user directly) - if (getuid() == 0) { - if (!qEnvironmentVariableIsEmpty("SUDO_USER")) { - std::cout << "Running Dolphin with sudo is not supported as it can cause bugs and expose you to security vulnerabilities.
