Description of problem: unetbootin aborts immediately after launched by root user. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Name : unetbootin Arch : x86_64 Version : 0 Release : 8.494bzr.fc14 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open up terminal 2. type 'su' and enter password to gain root privileges 3. type 'unetbootin' Actual results: Unetbootin aborts in less than one second after launch. Expected results: Unetbootin should start normally. Additional info: This is all the feedback I get when trying to start unetbootin: # unetbootin ** GLib-GIO:ERROR:gdbusconnection.c:2270:initable_init: assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL) Aborted (core dumped) Please let me know how if you need any additional information. And if so, where I can get it.
Use su as you're supposed to: $ su - instead of $ su The former will also change the environment variables to those of the root user.
Yup, that fixed it. Thank you for the quick response. I've never had to add the "-" in older versions of unetbootin. -Dave
