Also, it's probably not a good idea to make it easier for people to run the program as root without understanding the dangers.Beyond Compare allows you to quickly and easily compare your files and folders. But, I see that bash script comes from upstream so is probably best left alone. Over a ssh session, even with X forwarding, it will give 'X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.' I didn't work through what the workaround for that would be, but it'll have something to do with /root/.Xauthority and/or xauth.įor a moment, I considered that the /usr/bin/bcompare bash script could be updated to check for root permissions and automatically export this environment variable. This workaround only works on a local machine. They reported it to Fedora as a KDE bug at but Fedora decided it was an application side bug, and they gave the good advice to not run GUI apps as root.Ī workaround is: $ sudo QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native bcompareĪgain, run a GUI as root at your own risk. This was reported upstream in 2015 at but its developers decided it was a KDE bug. When attempting to run as root, the GUI window will appear but without any contents. That said, if you want to do it anyway and are willing to take the risks that it eats your hard drive, read along. I recommend not running this program as root, for good security practice.
