I’m running 12.1 gnome.
When from the terminal try to run gedit as root, i get a " (gedit:6547): WARNING **: Could not connect to session bus "
The problem occurs only when i am root. As a user gedit starts normally.
Thank you.
If you want to run gedit as root, do not open a terminal session but while in the gnome desktop do the following:
Alt-F2: gnomesu gedit [filename] <enter>
The Alt-F2 opens up a window, you type in **gnomesu gedit **and you can include the name of a file to edit as root if you wish and then press the enter key.
Thank You,
Done!!!
I appreciate your fast response.
Thank you.
Very happy to be of help to you.
Thank You,

How exactly?
Copy paste the terminal session here, between code tags (advanced editor,
‘#’ button), from before being root, to the output of the call to gedit and
the error.

It does not show how you got yourself root, which I asked for. Still, I’m
guessing you used “su”. Don’t. Use “su -”. Se man su for the reason. Or
search the archive of this forum.

I’m sorry for the confusion. I was using
su
at all the previous versions in the terminal and had no problem.
Thank you for your notice.

“Su” and “su -” are different. Get yourself accustomed to type that dash
always, except when you need not to (and you know why). As if the default
were to use the dash.
