May 3, 2021 at 17:20 comment added raphael75 I imagine that Gnome must have something similar to KDE that will let you run an application as a specific user (with sudo access).
Sep 22, 2020 at 19:27 comment added Homero Esmeraldo I'm using gnome, I don't have the options you mentioned on your answer. But running as I did on the command line should be the same.
Sep 22, 2020 at 14:21 comment added raphael75 @HomeroEsmeraldo Did you try my fix above? I think it got into a state where it was trying to run it under my user account instead of root, and it was just immediately crashing. My fix above always prompts me for a sudo account, and so far it's worked every time (fingers crossed).

Sep 18, 2020 at 17:11 comment added raphael75 @HomeroEsmeraldo Did you get any errors when you ran that?
