Subject: [Kde-pim] Interuser communication with DCOP
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-pim&m=100896049106029

Hi all,

I am looking to do some inter user communication with DCOP, as is documen=
ted=20
on developer.kde.org.  I'm doing the root backend/user priveledges front =
end=20
thing, on KDE 3 (HEAD from cvs)

The docs state:

ICEAUTHORITY=3D~user/.ICEauthority kdesu root -c kcmroot -dcopserver `cat=
=20
~user/.DCOPserver`

is the way to do this.  However, this no longer works - firstly, as you'l=
l=20
know, the .DCOPserver file is stored as .DCOPserver_systemname_display ID=
=2E =20
This is not really a problem, as I can use the DCOPClient::dcopServerFile=
 to=20
get this.  Also, 'cat ~/.DCOPserver' produces two lines of output, the fi=
rst=20
being the path to the dcop server. This though, can also be got round=20

However, even with all this changed, the command still does not work:

ICEAUTHORITY=3D/home/mark/.ICEauthority kdesu root -c kate --dcopserver=20
local/mark-debian:/tmp/.ICE-unix/dcop563-1008786730

is what I'm running just for testing purposes.  Kate runs as root, but th=
en a=20
error message comes up 'There was an error setting up inter-process=20
communications for KDE.  The message returned by the system was:=20
Authentication Rejected, reason: None of the authentication protocols=20
specified and supported and host-based authentication failed'.

This is half a bug report and half a plea for help!

Many Thanks

Mark
