You need to type:
/usr/libexec/kf5/kdesu -c dolphin

kdesu is not in $PATH as it is not intended for user's direct use, if it was, it would not be in libexec.

Comment 2 Muhammad Tailounie 2016-04-06 20:09:54 CEST 
Is it intended to be so in Mageia 6..becuase it was never the case in any of previous releases of Mageia!!

Only the path changed, in Mageia 5 it is:
/usr/lib(64)/kde4/libexec/kdesu

Summary: kdesu doe snot work => kdesu does not work

Comment 4 Muhammad Tailounie 2016-04-06 22:33:08 CEST 
I mean, in previous releases one could do ALT+F2 then type kdesu command and voila..how is it supposed to be in Mageia 6? Still must work? If yes, then this is a bug.. :)
Comment 5 Barry Jackson 2016-04-07 00:07:17 CEST 
Ah OK - yes I see the difference now - that does indeed work in Mageia 5 and not in Mageia 6.

I have modified the bug title to explain the problem more clearly.

Summary: kdesu does not work => kdesu does not run from krunner without using full path in Mga6 (it does in Mga5)

Comment 6 Muhammad Tailounie 2016-04-07 00:10:34 CEST
