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?

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

PHP 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

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?

I unistalled dolphin, reboot, reinstall, now all apps open in the non root dolphin.
