Hi everyone, I have a problem with the terminal in KDE with ‘Konsole’ - when I use the shortcut CTRL+ALT+T, Konsole opens with root user. How can I fix this?
You are the second person to report this in the last few hours but I am not seeing here.
I am not sure I have any obvious suggestions without being able to reproduce it.
What about when starting konsole from the menu?
All good from there (menu)
I have noticed that dolphin (shortcut) also opens with the root user. Weird!
Me neither. what is the dolphin shortcut ?

Both Dolphin and Konsole keyboard shortcuts work as expected here

Maybe the problem would be with keyboard shortcut using root, it opens any app in root.
You need to find where is bad shortcut config.
Edit://
I doubt which installed package caused this issue.
Check paclog to see what package was updated or installed. For example:
$ paclog --after=2023-05-22
or if you have btrfs snapshots for root subvolume, you can compare old snapshot and the current snapshot to detect which package or config is bad.
Works as expected here also.
Same (runs as my logged-in user).
The first thing I would ask would be if you do shenanigans and have ran konsole and dolphin as root (which you shouldn’t do). Dunno, but that’s just what I feel would be the first question.
My system is behaving normally, although it’s heavily customised. Anything requiring root access still requires a password though, indicating security. If people are getting root access without a password, eek! This is a KDE system I am running, just to clarify.
