Subject: [PATCH 2/2] kernel-shark: Set the DISPLAY environment for pkexec kshark-record
Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2019 18:50:46 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190723225238.859019956@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20190723225044.576298160@goodmis.org
From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
When running a fresh install, I hit this:
ERROR: Capture process failed:
Unknown errorqt.qpa.screen: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display
Could not connect to any X display.
This was due to pkexec not saving the DISPLAY environment variable. To solve
this, pass that variable as one of the environment variables to pkexec.
