KDE could not found the program "su"!

[backupboy]

Hello Guys!

I have a big problem!

I use Sabayon 5.4 with KDE!

If I want to start a program that needs root rights, I can not log in!

The error message:
The program "su"could not be found.
Ensure your PATH is set correctly.

The Command:
/ usr / lib / entropy / sulfur / sulfur_client.py

Can it possibly be because of a power failure while I installed the updates?

Sorry for my bad English and I am an absolute beginner in Linux

Thanks backupboy

Hi

"su" command :

Code: Select all

$ su   (at prompt "$" means you have user privileges

>Passwd   <--enter the root password

#   <---this mean you have root provileges

you can run "sudo" command also to run any applications as root:

example

sudo some_application

[joost]

Can it possibly be because of a power failure while I installed the updates?

Certainly possible.

if you can get a root shell, be sure to complete the update process.
You have a special boot option for that in the boot menu.

Hi!
Thanks for the replies!

I am an absolute beginner!
Unfortunately, I do not understand your answer! Can you give me a step by step instructions?

Is there a way to restore the root path?

But I also can not log in the terminal as "SU"!

Thanks

Better reinstall then.
And next time when you update make sure there is enough battery power in your laptop. (or pay the electricity bills)
