[opensuse] Running X Programs Without HOME Set
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm trying to run X applications without $HOME is set in the environment. However I receive "No protocol specified" error. I mean: $unset HOME $konsole throws the error(I keep DISPLAY variable as is). How can I overcome this?

Why would you want to do that?

export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority unset HOME I think you will have problems running KDE programs though, since they expect to find a KDE_HOME somewhere, and if HOME isn't set, they will try to use /.kde (or /.kde4), which is unlikely to work.

I'm using Openembedded(OE) and bitbake for cross-compiling. However, OE clears all the env including HOME before calling any scripts.
export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority unset HOME
Thank you very much, this does the trick.

Ok, then I'll choose gnome counterparts of KDE programs for utils.
