Comment 1 Vladimir Testov 2012-10-15 19:19:06 MSK

But it can be run. For example,

export $(dbus-launch); gwenview

Comment 2 Postnikov Dmitry 2012-10-18 12:25:33 MSK

You need enter for root as "su -", NOT "su". And all work.

Comment 3 Denis Silakov 2012-10-18 12:28:52 MSK

That's right. Single 'su' doesn't set necessary environment variables, so this behavior is expected. Use 'su -' instead.
