SnapperGUI doesn't work unless called as sudo #50

I'm using Kubuntu, and AFAIK it's not possible to open GUI apps as sudo (kdesu and gksu are not available anymore).

Error when tried to create a snapshot: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/snappergui/mainWindow.py", line 94, in on_create_snapshot newSnapshot = snapper.CreateSingleSnapshot(dialog.config, File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dbus/proxies.py", line 141, in call return self._connection.call_blocking(self._named_service, File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/dbus/connection.py", line 652, in call_blocking reply_message = self.send_message_with_reply_and_block( dbus.exceptions.DBusException: error.no_permissions: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed

Is there a way to ask for password instead of executing as sudo?

in the snapper config at/etc/snapper/configs add ALLOW_USERS="jaysonwcs" Also make the config itself readable by yourself

Sorry, I didn't read the full manual for the original Snapper CLI tool. You can close the issue.
