Comment 1 Phillip R Strauss 2011-02-19 05:36:43 UTC

Looks like this only happens when running as "gnome gui-user", terminal, su
and then "zypper dup" - updates does work

Looks like I have to be "root in GUI" - then no error.

Comment 2 Andreas Jaeger 2011-02-21 08:31:35 UTC

Same problem on my machine - but only under GNOME.

Comment 3 Vincent Untz 2011-02-21 08:55:26 UTC

Looks like bug 655751. Note that "su -" is much better than "su"... I'm not sure what tool zypper is calling that would cause this, though.

Comment 4 Jan Kupec 2011-02-21 10:50:22 UTC

It calls

 dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus --type=method_call \
           --print-reply --reply-timeout=200 \
           / org.freedesktop.DBus.NameHasOwner string:org.freedesktop.PackageKit

Comment 5 Vincent Untz 2011-02-21 11:13:12 UTC

This is not what is creating those warnings, though (just checked).

Comment 6 Phillip R Strauss 2011-02-21 15:45:04 UTC

Thanks, yes "su -" does work :-)
As previous shared, testing is done on GNOME
