I tested this a few times and it seems drakconf won't run for
normal users. The permissions on /usr/bin/drakconf seems correct
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28630 Jul 11 11:50 /usr/bin/drakconf*
When i run the program as root i recive these errors but the program does
start.

Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected continuation byte 0xb4, with no
preceding
start byte) at /usr/lib/libDrakX/my_gtk.pm line 1025 (#1)
Perl detected something that didn't comply with UTF-8 encoding rules.
One possible cause is that you read in data that you thought to be in
UTF-8 but it wasn't (it was for example legacy 8-bit data). Another
possibility is careless use of utf8::upgrade().

Use of uninitialized value in split at /usr/lib/libDrakX/detect_devices.pm

100 (#2)
(W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already
defined. It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake.
To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables.
To help you figure out what was undefined, perl tells you what operation
you used the undefined value in. Note, however, that perl optimizes your
program and the operation displayed in the warning may not necessarily
appear literally in your program. For example, "that $foo" is
usually optimized into "that " . $foo, and the warning will refer to
the concatenation (.) operator, even though there is no . in your
program.

When i try to run drakconf as a normal users all i get is this message

(W numeric) The indicated string was fed as an argument to an operator
