Did you put it in the front
DAEMONS=(dbus syslog-ng network netfs crond hal alsa httpd mysqld vsftpd)

Ok. I'll try it.

Root doesn't have troubles with permissions.
Neither does your user, if you keep things like they are supposed to... AFAIK if you randomly run "user" programs as root, this can mess things up. Also, what profile is firefox using under root? Hopefully a different one than normal, or you'll end up with very weird permissions.

Firefox is example. I know about permissions quite enough. Thanks.

Oh boy ... Do yourself a favor and read up a bit. It ain't that hard.
Using root for everyday stuff is like drunk-driving a tank.

May we ask what special software with a graphical interface you need to run as root?

I'm certain there is a better way to do it in the console.

It's my own software for editing mysql conf and some more functions.

My question is about running GUI from console. I have used it for a two years without any problems. But now it's broken down. I don't know anything about «Segmentation fault». I really need help!

try to run okular for example in gdb

gdb okular
run
bt full

wait for the crash and then bt full. next paste the output here. also do the same thing with firefox (firefix might crash because of qtcurve-gtk2 http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/19479)

reinstall, upgrade or downgrade are your options.

wonder · 2010-05-21 16:12:26

@SkyTod remove it and see if is works and you can downgrade to the previous version if that's the problem.

Duologic · 2010-05-21 16:17:59

It is probably not helping but you (SkyTod) do not know what you are doing. Please do not feel offended, I'm only trying to be helpful.

Follow these steps to fix your problem.
1. You probably should stop running GUI apps as root first. I don't know anyone who does that unless an expert that knows what 'Segmentation Fault' means (and how to solve it). And even then he/she won't do it.
2. Then find out why you run these apps under root == real problem.
3. Solve Real Problem

Is your system up to date?
Have you been messing with the gtk libraries?

I'm very thankful to You. It works. I shall look for solution for qtcurve — it's easier. Thank You again.

Yeah, I know it all. I didn't use root often(really;)). Just for my own app that very helpful for managing my localhost server. I wouldn't like to carry on this flame, cuz I do know what I do and You have your opinion howto release it better and safer. Thank You, anyway.

I removed qtcurve. Last version of qtcurve has this bug.
