After installing Konquerer and restarting my laptop i got the following error while trying to open, edit or access files as root from within Terminal (which is existencial for me).

root@linuxBox:/home/v2r# gnome-open /home/

(gnome-open:2686): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon: //bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: No protocol specified Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.

GConf Error: No D-BUS daemon running

root@linuxBox:/home/v2r# No protocol specified Could not parse arguments: Cannot open display:

Also it seems, that dbus is not installed properly anymore in /bin/ and /usr/bin/ See screenshot: enter image description here

How would i go about fixing this problem and thank you in advance?!!!


Thank you for your answer SirCharlo! It does not resolve the problem at all. Please note, that it only happens while beeing root!

root@linuxBox:/home/v2r# gnome-open /home/

(gnome-open:5170): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-2RdCUjrZ9k: Connection refused GConf Error: No D-BUS daemon running
