Bug ID: 495798
Summary: kio-admin does not allow changing ownership from the
UI (e.g. Dolphin)
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: kio-admin
Version: 23.08.5
Platform: Kubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
Reporter: wyattbiker at gmail.com
CC: sitter at kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
kio-admin does not allow changing ownership from the UI (e.g. Dolphin)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
(I used Dolphin for this)
Install kio-admin
Navigate to admin:/// and login .
Copy a folder from a different user to your current user. E.g. user1 to user2
The ownership of the new copied folder is root so it needs to be chowned to the
current user.
Right click on folder and select Properties to change ownership while still as
root (admin:///)
The ownership fields are disabled and cannot be changed.
Only way to change ownership is to use chown command line.
EXPECTED RESULT
When selecting a folder while in kio-admin (e.g. admin:///user2/somefolder),
the UI pplication should allow changing ownership from the UI (e.g. Dolphin)
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Kubuntu 24.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0
Qt Version: 5.15.13
Kernel Version: 6.8.0-48-generic (64-bit)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This discussion started because of Open As Root to copy a folder from another
user. It was recommended to use kio-admin instead, and that's how the problem
was found. It is believed this could be a kio protocol with UI issue.
