I am trying to run unetbootin-625 on KDE Plasma.

Here are the problems I see:
1. It won't start from the KDE menu. I get the login screen and it fails.
2. If I log in as root on a terminal and select an ISO and hit the "..." button. I get an error message. "Cannot start process. Cannot talk to klauncher Not connected to D-Bus server.
3. If I find the ISO file manually, and select the Open button, I get the following:
Code:

launcher(27927) kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server.
kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!
klauncher(27930) kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server.
kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!
startkdeinitlock(25784): couldn't create slave: "Cannot talk to klauncher: Not connected to D-Bus server"
klauncher(27933) kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server.
kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!
klauncher(27936) kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server.
kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!
startkdeinitlock(25784): couldn't create slave: "Cannot talk to klauncher: Not connected to D-Bus server"
klauncher(27939) kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server.
kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!
klauncher(27942) kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server.
kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!
startkdeinitlock(25784): couldn't create slave: "Cannot talk to klauncher: Not connected to D-Bus server"

4. Plus for some reason the USB drive will not mount.


This is supposedly the latest version of KDE plasma. and unetbootin

emerge --info follows but it is clear that kDE is a disaster.
Code:

bopper /etc/portage # emerge --info unetbootin

both of your issues appear related to permissions. check if consolekit/policykit or whatever kde uses is malfunctioning

That's a very confident statement for someone who has not even begun to rule out own failure yet. Especially considering the last time you were quick to blame a news item for simple lack of reading comprehension.

Did you check that dbus is started?
Is your session manager started? /* I see, systemd now. */
How do you start your session?
I don't know unetbootin but you are aware of kdesu for starting a gui with root privileges? Root from konsole is a big no-no.
What did you do before it stopped working?
Shall we assume that, since this is posted in Installing Gentoo, it is a recent installation of yours?

Since original poster no longer replies, let me try a variation.

Unetbootin used to work fine.

Now (last use: probably last year), after getting prompt-for-root password from KDE, and supplying root password, it dies thusly:

Code:

Cannot execute command ' 'bash -c '\''QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 /usr/bin/unetbootin "rootcheck=no"'\''''.


Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks, Ian

Go to the properties of the UNetbootin shortcut, > > > applications tab> > > advanced settings> > > run under a different name, root entry>> > save. Launch UNetbootin, enter the root password, and select save. This helped me.

I'm having the same issues as the other users (Netbootin used to work some time ago, now asking for root prompt), and I tried doing as you said: first using kdesu, then using the menu icon from the shortcut. In both cases, I get the same result: an empty Unetbootin window.

I don't know the cause of your problem, but on my Stable amd64 installation I can launch UNetbootin Version 700 successfully from Konsole using kdesu Version 5.77.0. A window pops up prompting me to enter the root user's password, and when I enter the root user's password the UNetbootin window pops up correctly.
