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
Comment 7 Michael Andres 2011-03-07 12:14:20 UTC
