[opensuse-factory] evince can't be called as root
[evince 2.32.0-1.1] I'm using KDE on my GNU/Linux box which I've completely updated to factory a few days ago, and calling evince as non-root works just fine. However, calling it as root it aborts with Failed to get bus connection: The connection is closed ** GLib-GIO:ERROR:gdbusconnection.c:2152:initable_init: assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL) Is this a known problem?

Yes, glib seems to have changed behavior and this assertion is triggered when DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is set to another user's bus, as a workaround unset this envvar. See my comment on https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=648558#c4 , I should open a separate bug and investigate a bit more. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Thanks, this works. Werner -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

- don't run evince as root - always use "su -" instead of "su" to get a clean environment
- use sudo While the above is true, glib should handle an invalid environment variable gracefully and not abort due to a failed assertion. Currently this e.g. also affects to yast when called by xdg-su (which uses xterm+su without '-' and thus does not start a login shell). I'll file a bug against glib shortly. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

No, it is the responsibility of opensuse members to help others in the media they use most - it must be somewhere in the statutes >:-) It has NNTP access, you know. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

Pardon my ignorance, but why (as long as you use a login shell)? su only propagates DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY. xdg-su is broken in this regard as it preserves the environment when using plain su. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
