Will this work? BTW default Open SuSE configuration.
vitaliy@dragon:~ $export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-root vitaliy@dragon:~ $sudo wine winecfg root's password:
Since when did sudo ask for root's password? It (normally?) asks for the user's password.
wine: created the configuration directory '/root/.wine'
Is WINEPREFIX being passed to wine via sudo? For that matter, is sudo overriding $HOME on your system? Or have you run "su -c winecfg" and just replaced it with "sudo" above?
Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded. Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
Interesting. xauth problem. Again, I'd be surprised if this happened with sudo. Not so surprised if it happened with "su -".
Quoting myself:
default Open SuSE configuration.
Here is all the not commented content of the /etc/sudoers:
Defaults always_set_home Defaults env_reset # And a long list of LC_* allowed env vars: Defaults env_keep = "LANG LC_* ... LINGUAS XDG_SESSION_COOKIE"
Defaults targetpw # ask for the password of the target user i.e. root ALL<--->ALL=(ALL) ALL # WARNING! Only use this together with 'Defaults targetpw'! root<-->ALL=(ALL) ALL
Explains everything you see from 'sudo wine winecfg'.
