By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Bug 135

Description schrodingers_new_cat 2009-11-23 21:24:16 CST
Minor annoyance, really, but exactly as the summary says.

If you try to sudo kedit from the command line, you get "sudo: kedit: command not found"

Typing "kedit" at the command line, without sudo works.

"sudo /opt/kde3/bin/kedit" and everything works normally, so presumably the bug and the fix are both minor.

This occurs on Intrepid and Jaunty, and also occured on Karmic release candidates (though I haven't upgraded to, or tested on Karmic final yet).

Do you have the sudo-kde3 package installed, or just the sudo package?

The sudo program has a compiled-in path variable (RPATH), so you have to install sudo-kde3 if you want the KDE3 programs to be found.  sudo-kde3 *should* be installed on the LiveCDs by default.

Ach, you're right.  I haven't.  I can't believe I've made the same mistake with three different versions too.

My fault entirely.

I install standard unbuntu with Gnome first, and add KDE 3.5 from the repo rather than install KDE3 from the LiveCD (multi user system, prefer different desktops), so the LiveCD didn't have a chance to install it.I install standard unbuntu with Gnome first, and add KDE 3.5 from the repo rather than install KDE3 from the LiveCD (multi user system, prefer different desktops), so the LiveCD didn't have a chance to install it.

I apologise for the erroneous bug report.

Closing then.
