[SOLVED] "gksu nautilus" / "sudo nautilus" fails to show hidden files

when starting, "sudo nautilus" shows following messages on terminal

(nautilus:2128): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: <broken file>:1:0: Failed to import: The resource at '/org/gnome/libgd/tagged-entry/default.css' does not exist

(nautilus:2128): dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf: Error spawning command line 'dbus-launch --autolaunch=9d384f75f43841548d04cf9ca806aff8 --binary-syntax --close-stderr': Child process exited with code 1

when I press Ctrl+H it shows as following. The nautilus just blinks and doesn't show hidden file. the checkbox "Show Hidden Files" doesn't get checked.

(nautilus:2128): dconf-WARNING **: failed to commit changes to dconf: Error spawning command line 'dbus-launch --autolaunch=9d384f75f43841548d04cf9ca806aff8 --binary-syntax --close-stderr': Child process exited with code 1

I have no idea where these error messages come from. I'm temporarily using pcmanfm but I want to fix this problem eventually. Could someone give some help for me?

I have a similar issue launching gksu gnome-terminal,  the tip was to look at  pam .pacnew,  unfortunately, that did not help me (still lost inside pacnew complexities) and i must have missed what i needed to change, hope you have better luck!

Re: [SOLVED] "gksu nautilus" / "sudo nautilus" fails to show hidden files

Dbus has been compiled without X11 invocation, so you now have to explicitly start it with

gksu dbus-launch --exit-with-session nautilus

(or use gksudo which retains your user and environment and hence the running DBUS session)

EDIT: Added --exit-with-session to not leave a lingering dbus daemon

How to use it with pkexec?

pkexec dbus-launch nautilus

Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

(nautilus:26687): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

pkexec used by this extension.
