Hi, I got two Plasma installations: KDE Neon Unstable and openSUSE Tumbleweed. If I have to modify a file in the “/” partition, in KDE Neon I: 1 - open that file, e.g. with Kate; 2 - do my changes; 3 - click on the “Save” button; 4 - now an authentication dialog shows up, which prompts me to in…

The OpenSUSE packagers removed this functionality in Kate in their packaging of the app. You’ll have to ask them about it, use the Flatpak version, re-compile it with the feature working again, use a different distro, or accept its omission.

Authentication dialog doesn't show up
