I am working with an application that is written in Python.
It makes use of pyusb and libusb. The application when launched
in a user account tells me it cannot access the USB port. When
I launch it via an icon I create on the desktop and tell it to
run in terminal it accesses the USB device but the GUI does not launch.
I thought maybe I could launch the app as root using sudo and it might
work, but I get a problem with ‘$DISPLAY is not set’. I am trying to reach
the author of the app but have not been successful yet. It says the app was
written for Ubuntu, but you can manually assemble the bits to work on SuSE.

the permission issue sorted.
