has worked fine until 43 install
Fedora 43 does
msetzerii@setzcodell2:~$ su -
Password:
root@setzcodell2:~# geany
root@setzcodell2:~# exit
logout
msetzerii@setzcodell2:~$ sudo -i
root@setzcodell2:~# geany
No protocol specified
Geany: cannot open display
Fedora 42 does.
msetzerii@setzcodell:~$ su -l
Password:
root@setzcodell:~# geany
root@setzcodell:~# echo works
works
root@setzcodell:~# exit
logout
msetzerii@setzcodell:~$ su -
su: user - does not exist or the user entry does not contain all the
required fields
msetzerii@setzcodell:~$ sudo -i
[sudo] password for msetzerii:
root@setzcodell:~# geany
root@setzcodell:~# echo works
works
Also just with su works.
2:42am here, so going to bed.
Thanks for info and your time.
