YaST - QStandardPaths: wrong ownership on runtime directory

[ravas]

When I log into YaST via the associated xterm window, it prints:

QStandardPaths: wrong ownership on runtime directory /run/user/1000, 1000 instead of 0

Is this something I can correct?

I'm using TumbleWeed 20171201 / OpenBox.

I'm starting YaST via the OpenBox menu.

This doesn't appear if I log in with 'su' and then run 'yast' (command line version (using the suckless terminal)) .

Hi
Try;

xdg-su -c /usr/sbin/yast2

[ravas]

I still get that message.

Hi
Possibly the fact you used su instead of su -

What is the output of;

ls -la /run/user

user 0 (root) should be root:root user 1000 should be <yourloginname>:users

[ravas]

total 0
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 60 Dec 31 12:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 33 root root 860 Dec 31 16:40 ..
drwx------ 7 my_username users 160 Dec 31 13:04 1000

running yast2 after "su -" gives:

QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'

running yast2 after "su -" gives:

Hi
On both my Tumbleweed installs I have a /run/user/0 directory owned by root:root does this directory exist?

[ravas]

No; only /run/user/1000

[malcolmlewis]

No; only /run/user/1000

Hi
As root user create the directory and see if it makes a difference;

mkdir -p /run/user/0
