Was trying to install spacefm today but unfortunately it didn't start. Trying from the console i get following output: $ spacefm (spacefm:17142): SpaceFM-WARNING **: 22:13:51.921: No root settings found in /etc/spacefm/ Setting a root editor in Preferences should remove this warning on startup. Otherwise commands run as root may present a security risk. Segmentation fault when trying to start spacefm as root i get following error: # spacefm spacefm: Cannot open display: I suspect spacefm doesn't like wayland? emerge --info spacefm Portage 3.0.65
