Hello,
I logged out and back in ( I changed the inode-direcotry icon and wanted to see if I liked it)..
After logging back in (Not restart, just log out) konqueror and dolphin will not start with 'run as diff user' root.
I also can not start YasT.
I opened konsole and typed sudo konqueror and it did not start. I did # su (password) and as root in konsole I was unable to start konqueror.
This is the output :

Code: Select all

# konqueror
konqueror(3193)/kdeui (kdelibs): Session bus not found
To circumvent this problem try the following command (with Linux and bash)
export $(dbus-launch)
KCrash: Application 'konqueror' crashing...

Any ideas? I did Nothing to the user root or any files except changing inode-directory.png icon and have changed it back to default icon.
I was using konqureor as root just before I logged out, as I had copied the 'new' directory icon to the sys icon dir.

Thank you in advance,
TY.

I logged out, logged in as root. Went through starting konqueror and yast, checked for updates, found none.
Shutdown. Powered up and all seems fine except that navigating to forums.kde.org in konqueorer seemed to want to set up a 'new' kwallet as if I hadn't one.
I canceled it and used konqueror to go to one of my webservers and logged into kwallet there and then all seemed fine.

Thanks,
Landis.

As a general note - running KDE applications as root is not recommended.

In this case, you have not fully switched to root, as the user environment has been left intact. This prevented your root executed Konqueror or Dolphin from launching properly.

If you do want to run applications as root, please make sure you use "kdesu" to do so, or alternately make sure you executed "su -" instead of "su" to ensure the environment is fully cleared.

Code: Select all

kdesu konqueror

Code: Select all

su - -c konqueror
