    Spectacle opening Dolphin as root

    Hi I am new here, but not new to Linux, been using various distros for 15 years. Now I am using Tuxedo OS, with the KDE plasma desktop.

    When I hit Print Screen it brings up Spectacle for a screen shot. When I go to look at the image from the dialog, it opens Dolphin as root. I only installed this system a couple of days ago. Not sure why its happening? It should open Dolphin as non root.

    When I use to cli to check who has sudo privilege I get:

    Code:
    bob@bob-tobefilledbyoem:~$ getent group sudo
    sudo:x:27:bob
    I just tried to open the Spectacle Icon in the KDE folder, and it opens Dolphin as non root, but opening it from print screen is root. What gives?

    I am thinking the keyboard has some sort of root privilege? This never happened in KDE Neon, Kubuntu, Open Suse, Linux Mint Plasma?

    Re: Spectacle opening Dolphin as root

    Here is some inputs in my bash history. Not all of them went through, but could they cause this?

    Code:
    
    setfacl -m u:libvirt-qemu:x
    vim /scripts/virt-manager.sh
    export DISPLAY=':0.0'
    cp -v /home/bob/.Xauthority /root/.Xauthority
    virt-manager
    su - root
    /scripts/virt-manager.sh
    sudo chown -hR bob /media/bob/VBox*/
    sudo vi /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
    sudo systemctl restart libvirtd
    chown root:kvm /dev/kvm
    sudo chown root:kvm /dev/kvm
    sudo systemctl restart libvirtd

    Thread moved to Ubuntu/Debian BASED. which is more appropriate and a better fit as this is not about Ubuntu.

    Now I find Krunner Baloo is opening Dolphin as root too?

    Looking at this, I got a plug in to open as root. I should have got root actions instead. Now how do I undo this?
