Hi,
I have install open suse leap 42 KDE with succèss but I need a package “xscreensaver” it’s not in the menu? Impossible to open it ! I have installed it with yast I see this package are OK but …I don’t have OK for xscreensaver are open ? many thanks for your answer :wink:

Hello and welcome here.

As a screensaver is mostly used in a GUI interface, pleas tell us which desktop environment you use. KDE, Gnome, …?

Yes, it doesn’t show up in the application menu in KDE/Plasma, GNOME, or MATE, if that’s what you mean.

Try typing “xscreensaver-demo” into an xterm (or konsole, gnome-terminal, whatever other terminal emulator you may have installed). :wink:

Yes, thank you gays, I have since few year ago KDE for use it and when I have xscreensaver it’s not with trouble ? Ok I try with xscreensaver-demo in my teminal “guake” ** many thanks…
But I have also a big trouble??? :frowning: Sorry It’s necessary for me to open with dolphin or thunar for modify the
grub/grub.cfg** because it’s absolutly necessary to change this “initrid /boot/intel-ucode.img** /boot/initramfs.-4.14-x86_64.img” **for an other OS installed on my PC honnestly I don’t have the possibility to open terminal for dolphin or thunar, here is the trouble shooting :

linux-91rn:/home/jibel # thunar
Thunar: Cannot open display: 
linux-91rn:/home/jibel # dolphin
QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display 

Sorry for my surprise?? Many thanks if you tell me how I need to open it ?? Whaou ! :slight_smile: see u soon

BTW, this thread about an Application is posted in the Forums Feedback > How to use the forums?

It will be moved to Applications and is CLOSED for the moment.

Moved from How to use the forums and open again.

You can not open many Prgramms as root.
f.e.:

linux64:/home/ich # dolphin 
QStandardPaths: wrong ownership on runtime directory /run/user/1000, 1000 instead of 0
"Session bus not found
To circumvent this problem try the following command (with Linux and bash)
export $(dbus-launch)"
linux64:/home/ich # 

But you can do it with kdesu, gnomesu, xdg-su as User:

ich@linux64:~> kdesu dolphin

Ok I have a big problem, again when I try to use terminal with kdesu dolphin or thunar…It’s not possible ! Give me the reason why ?? many thanks
here is the terminal answer :

linux-91rn:/home/jibel # kdesu thunar
QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display
Aborted
linux-91rn:/home/jibel # thunar
Thunar: Cannot open display:
linux-91rn:/home/jibel # dolphin
QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display
Aborted (core dumped)

Can you explain where come from this trouble ?? many thanks again…I need absolutely for make a modify option ! I hope I’m at the right position for a answer ? or not ? :frowning:

linux-91rn:/home/jibel # kdesu thunar

You try as root to open kdesu.
I have written:

But you can do it with kdesu, gnomesu, xdg-su as User:

Do you switch in the Terminal to root or do you login as root into your Desktop.
Last is not recommended.

I try and It’s OK to go to **grub/grub.cfg **for correction it … Many thanks …I think it’s necessary to change the thread because that not correct for a new one my self, I go back on open-suse leap for another correction…I’m in studio-ubuntu now ; many thanks again, see u soon lol!
