Use “gnomesu” instead, or “kdesu” if you have a KDE installation.
The generic command is “xdg-su” which should even work on every distribution.

So your winusbgui runs gksudo on its own. No need to run it as root then, I suppose…

But, there is no gksudo in openSUSE, and I can’t even find a package on OBS.
Try to create a symlink to gnomesu then (or kdesu, if you prefer):

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gnomesu /usr/local/bin/gksudo

how to run with kdesu? winusb for run need gksudo
Does a similar program for kde?

kdesu is a KDE program, and is similar to gnomesu and gksudo.
You can use either of them in the same way to run stuff as root.

But again, gksudo does not exist in openSUSE. If you (or an application/script you use) want to run it, you’d either have to compile and install it manually, or create a symlink as I told you.

If you prefer to use kdesu instead of gnomesu, replace gnomesu with kdesu in that command:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/kdesu /usr/local/bin/gksudo

Your winusbgui should then just use gnomesu/kdesu instead of gksudo.

Ok.
