running systemsettings5 with su

[ShareVepari]

I love gecko over opensuse tumbleweed (vanilla) version for several reasons and want to stick with it

However , Getting the following error and could not find anything to resolve it. NOTE: this works on opensuse tumbleweed (vanilla), so trying to figure out if there is any settings that I am missing

Steps to reproduce
from console:

1. Type "kdesu systemsettings5"; lauches credential request window and nothing happens
2. sudo su and then type "systemsettings5" and getting the following errors
   QStandardPaths: runtime directory '/run/user/1000' is not owned by UID 0, but a directory permissions 0700 owned by UID 1000 GID 1003

Hi there, not too sure. I know that kdesu systemsettings5 used to work with GeckoLinux as well, so it might be an upstream change in openSUSE and/or Plasma. As for sudo, graphical applications don't work with it in openSUSE unless you configure some low-level stuff.

Are you testing GeckoLinux ROLLING or STATIC or NEXT ?

The easiest way to accomplish what you're trying to do (I assume it's for configuring the theme of apps running as root) would be to log in as root from the SDDM login screen.

I am using ROLLING...with gecko

i used OpenSUSE tumbleweed...and did not have this issue.

Other than that gecko is working fine no issues...and loving rest of it so far

I guess the official recommendation for GeckoLinux would be to temporarily login from SDDM as root to make the needed changes.

Thanks for your response. Forgot to mention that is what I end up doing for now.
