Please run Kate/Kwrite as root and then we will talk on the topic. Or pipe password to ssh
- jamblewamble 9mo agoYou dont have to use that software. Who even would? You're an adult, presumably, so use vim.
- messe 9mo agoed is the standard text editor.
- zufallsheld 9mo agoThat's the good thing with open source. You can theoretically fork it and remove what prevents you from using Kate as root.

- ReptileMan 9mo agoSure. But the malaise of smug people taking decisions that are outside of the scope of the software is creeping into linux too. It is up to me decide what is secure, not them.
- tom_ 9mo agoIt's smug people telling other people what to do all the way down!
- CAP_NET_ADMIN 9mo agoKate/Kwrite will ask to escalate to root if permissions are not sufficient. If it's not available to you, that's because your distro patched it out. For ssh - sshpass.
