I just recently installed Kali 2018_2 amd64 on my PC.
I have Kali 2017_2 running on a different PC.
In both cases I just use root as my signon userid
On the 2017 version I am able to run Kate with no problem
On this new install of 2018, when I run Kate from the Applications menu,
I get a spinning icon for a few seconds, and then nothing.
When I run Kate from a terminal window, I get a message stating:
"Executing Kate as root is not possible. To edit files as root use:
SUDO_EDITOR=kate sudoedit <file>"
I ran the SUDO_EDITOR=Kate, then run sudoedit somefile.txt
and I get the same error mentioned above.
Kate runs fine on my 2017 version, but not on this 2018 version.
Is there something I can check to see why Kate is not running?
Thanks.
