How do you switch to root? This may be related to environment variables
su -
caja
and
su
caja
The effect is different
I too have seen this many times. I do not know if this is intentional, but when running caja as root you would not want your normal user settings taken ownership by root in the process of writing to them. Fine to write to /root but to /home/$user would create problems with not being able to write to it as normal user unless code was included to prevent root from taking over ownership of the dconf database.
There is another bug that in a few cases can prevent caja from running if it has previously been run as root and taken posession of ~/.config/dconf/user
I'm setting up the root environment (themes, icons, etc.). Although I rarely use root, my perfectionism wants everything to be perfect. I set up my (not root) account and everything works great there. My problem is that Caja doesn't respond to the pencil icon, nor does it save settings (giving the same error) The problem is observed only in root, in a normal account everything is fine!
Expected behaviour
When I click on this button I get the normal behavior
Actual behaviour
When you click on the icon, nothing happens. In the terminal writes:
(caja:15338): dconf-WARNING **: 21:59:28.004: failed to commit changes to dconf: An error occurred while creating the command line process. «dbus-launch --autolaunch=82050b92b3d344f79cf7572b07e53b00 --binary-syntax --close-stderr»: Child process exited with code 1
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
sudo caja try to change the settings or click on the icon, which is on my very first screenshot
