failure to startup as root

• Nov 10, 2019 - 11:34

On Void Linux, I get the following when trying to run ms. I'm unsure as to what exact the problem is. I got greeted with some introductory setting then it quits. The provided URL point to something currently nonexistent doesn't open/exist, waybackmachine, however, has it.

I don't follow too much what, why and how. I use only root because I hate permissions, handholding or condescension on part of devs at times.

Here's what I've tried:

root@voink:~ # musescore
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
propsReply "Method \"GetAll\" with signature \"s\" on interface \"org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties\" doesn't exist\n"
nmReply "Method \"GetDevices\" with signature \"\" on interface \"org.freedesktop.NetworkManager\" doesn't exist\n"
"Object path cannot be empty"

Thanks, I got a good chuckle from this. Though, I'm sorry (but not surprised) you can't get it to work. Good luck.

Sorry. I meant no disrespect. Before I posted I spent over an hour Googling various terms in your post and came across all the chromium and applmage fixes, as you could have. I don't use linux so I didn't really know what I was looking at. Though I was trying to learn something at your expense. I probably shouldn't have posted anything. Except that I have indeed been in your position and worse. Seems to me that if you own a computer, you own problems. I have to chuckle or I end up throwing things. You were right to complain about my post. Your comment about " permissions, handholding or condescension on part of devs at times." is part of what peaked my interest. Again, good luck.

That chromium bug reference (and the --no-sandbox warning) comes from the chromium code; likely used by the QtWebEngine (as your log clearly indicates the error triggered from within Qt).

Try running musescore -w to disable the web components of MuseScore (no start center and no save online).

Are you running from the AppImage or some other build?
