Have used geany as my preferred editor for many version of Fedora, but now with Fedora 43 it doesn't work that same if running after su?
Get a core dump, and it creates file in my ~/.config/geany directory owned by root, and that to remove it before geany works with regular user correctly. With su -, it seems to work ok. Had also tried pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY geany but with vnc get mixed results. Also, found this? You can run Geany as root by opening a terminal and typing sudo -E geany or sudo geany. However, this is strongly discouraged because it can lead to issues like corrupting user configurations, creating ownership problems for your files, and introducing security risks. A safer alternative is to edit files using admin:// in the file manager or to use sudo for specific file operations after saving your work in a regular user session Things seems to suggest using nano or vim to edit rather than gedit or geany, But that seems to be a step backwards. Is there a better way to get geany to work like it has in Fedora 42 and earlier versions? Thanks. +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
