Communication error with launcher
I am using Mandriva 2009.1 KDE 4.2
Whenever I try to run a program as root from the konsole I get this error.
With KDE applications it looks like this:Code:# dolphin <unknown program name>(13749)/: KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server <unknown program name>(13748)/: KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly.
Needless to say, Konqueror and Dolphin are installed and working perfectly, under the user.Code:# konqueror kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/klauncher klauncher(13763) kdemain: No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server. kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!
Why does this happen, and how do I fix it? I kinda need to be able to launch at least a text editor as root...

As user you can try: kdesu kwrite /select/file/location or as root just: kwrite /same/file

It would appear that the problem stems from this line:
I think the DBUS server has something to do with applications talking to each other...?Code:No DBUS session-bus found. Check if you have started the DBUS server
Anyway, it clearly works for User, but not for Root.
So, how do I start DBUS for Root? Preferably every login, automatically....
