Dear Maintainer,
I attempted to run PartitionManager today, and it did not start:
$ sudo partitionmanager
[sudo] password for scott:
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
"Session bus not found\nTo circumvent this problem try the following command
(with Linux and bash)\nexport $(dbus-launch)"
I have successfully run this in the past (after adding "lxqt-sudo " before the
command on the .desktop file's "exec" line - otherwise, nothing happens...)
but today, nothing happened. When I started it in the terminal, I got the
above.
I attempted to follow the suggestion ("export $(dbus-launch)"), but the command
was unknown.
It is apparently a file provided by dbus-x11, whose description states:
"This package contains the dbus-launch utility which is necessary for packages
using a D-Bus session bus."
I have dbus, but not dbus-x11.
As I say, I have successfully launched partitionmanager in the past, and have
not removed dbus-x11.
I don't use it often - mostly to verify my main disk's partition layout.
I note that around mid April, when I did a "sudo apt-get upgrade"
partitionmanager was "held back", and I subsequently installed it (it is the
newest version for testing)
I guess something changed.
I note that the environment variable
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus is defined (as is
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 - which even before, when I could run it, it
claimed was undefined).

Hi Scott, partitionmanager isn't designed to be run with sudo. Run it as
your normal user, and it will handle the privelege escalation for you.
