Description Kirelos Namroud 2023-12-16 19:34:02 UTC

My environment: 
openSUSE Slowroll, openSUSEway (sway, greetd)
I'm getting the title's error in two specific occasions:
- Running YaST2 with xdg-su to run it from gui and not tui
- Running powertop --calibrate
I'm pretty sure there's an error and that it'd show up in other occasions, but it doesn't always happen (e.g. flatpak applications run properly even when requiring root access).
Still this makes impossible to run a proper powertop calibration and especially using yast2 gui.

What is the exact command used to open YaST2?

wofi's yast menù entry executes this:

xterm -geom 60x5 -T xdg-su /sbin/yast2 -e -su -c /sbin/yast2

The error is reproducible using:

xdg-su -c yast2

An additional note is that the error does only happen on sway (wayland) but not on icewm (x11)

Probably a xdg-su thing? Does that work on Wayland?
