Create an ‘Open as Root’ Action in Konqueror

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

To have a service menu which opens the selected directory as root in Konqueror, create a file, say konq_root.desktop in ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus with the following content:

[Desktop Entry]
ServiceTypes=inode/directory
Actions=open_as_root

[Desktop Action open_as_root]
Name=Open as Root
Icon=konsole
Exec=kdesu konqueror %F

Now, if you right click any directory in Konqueror and go to Actions, a new menu appears, Open as Root. If you select more than one directory, Konqueror will open each of them in a new tab.

Speed Up Konqueror

Konqueror tries to establish a connection using IPv6 when that fails it uses the reqular IPv4 protocol.

You could do this via the YaST2 /etc/sysconfig editor module (change Desktop -> KDE_USE_IPV6 from ‘yes’ to ‘no’)

or in other distro’s, edit the file /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager directly with your favorite text editor:

Change the line

KDE_USE_IPV6=”yes” to    KDE_USE_IPV6=”no”
