Is this possible ? I keep receiving the message - standard in must be a tty. I am launching emacs largely from the Kmenu. Workaround : I can have emacs as a root session if I start konsole and su to root from there and then launch emacs. So maybe I need to edit my bash profile to allow emacs access to the shell ???
