Not able to execute system programs as superuser from console

[SerGuMa]

Using Kubuntu 8.04 with KDE4

The bug I encountered prevents me from executing any system preinstalled program as superuser from the console.

For example, if I want to open kate to edit a system file, and I type sudo kate I get a "command not found" message (kdesudo kate or kdesu kate do the same thing).

If I write kate without the sudo part it works as intended, but without superuser privileges (obviously).

The same thing happens with dolphin, konqueror, etc.

If I type the direct route (found with the "which" command) everything works as intended, for example "kdesu /usr/lib/kde4/bin//kate" opens the program without a problem.

Behaves the same for me too. /usr/lib/kde4/bin is in the path .... I even tried adding it to the path via /etc/environment and rebooting and kdesudo-kde4 still doesn't pick up on it.

I can confirm this as well, surprised I didn't notice it earlier.

Actually, this has already been filed as bug 191264, so I am marking this as a duplicate. Please follow up on that report.
