If I try to run Yast2 a “Run as root - KDE su” window pops up asking for the password. I enter the password but nothing happens. After a while I have to close the window; I get a warning ‘Application “kdesu” is not responding’ and I then click ‘Terminate Application kdesu’.
The same is true if, for example, I’m using Dolphin and want to open a folder with “File Manager - super user mode”.
From the command line I have done this:
tim@tvb-opensuse0:~> yast2
Absolute path to 'yast2' is '/usr/sbin/yast2', so running it may require superuser privileges (eg. root).
tim@tvb-opensuse0:~> su -
Password:
**tvb-opensuse0:~ #** yast2
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
libGL error: unable to load driver: nouveau_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau
I can then use yast2 but I wonder if some of these errors might diagnose the problem. But I don’t know what they mean! Nouveau is installed and running, according to Yast2 Hardware Information.
I’ve also tried this:
tim@tvb-opensuse0:~> kdesu yast2
libGL error: unable to load driver: nouveau_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: nouveau
kdesu_stub
Killed
tim@tvb-opensuse0:~>
This starts kdesu but again, when I enter the password, it freezes. ‘Killed’ appears after I terminate the application.
Any help please?!
