 |
|
This has been asked a dozen times or more but none of the solutions appears to be working for me. I can't run any KDE applications from a root or su console window while logged in as my normal user. Here's some output of what's going on:
| Code: | arakiel@wintermute arakiel $ xhost + localhost
localhost being added to access control list
arakiel@wintermute arakiel $ su
Password:
root@wintermute arakiel # whoami
root
root@wintermute arakiel # kcalc
bash: kcalc: command not found
root@wintermute arakiel # /usr/kde/3.1/bin/kcalc
sh: line 1: iceauth: command not found
DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
ICE Connection rejected!
DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
DCOPServer self-test failed.
ICE Connection rejected!
sh: line 1: iceauth: command not found
kdeinit: DCOPServer could not be started, aborting.
root@wintermute arakiel #
|
After the last try to specify the path it does fire the app but throws out the DCOP errors and puts up an error message box as well.
so as you can see as root it cant even find kcalc (just an example proggie) without specifying the path and even then it doesnt really work right. btw: everything works just fine if I logout as my user and log into KDE as root.
Any suggestions?

EDIT: this is just KDE applications, other X apps work fine. |

| well i solved part of the problem, but only a small part. somehow my root logins path variable was missing the kde bin direcotry. after adding that in i no longer get the "not found" messages but im still getting the DCOPServer errors and that pop up. still cant figure that one out. Anybody got any ideas? |
