(not a maintainer) > When running KBackup from the command line as root the program crashes
Try to unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. I just tried it: after `su' kbackup fails to start with message similar to yours, but after running `unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS' and reinvoking, it showed own main window. I think remaining will work as well. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
