Trouble with QT and utility

[Robert Lord]

Hi!

I'm opening this issue to create a new thread, it's related to issue #25.

I have modified the module as described in #25 (using P95_HP) and the keyboard shortcuts works just fine now!

I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 with the 4.13 kernel (only kernel that works with my CPU and other hardware).

robban@robban-laptop:~$ sudo clevo-xsm-wmi
[sudo] password for robban: 
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
No protocol specified
QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display :0
Aborted

Running the software without sudo gives me the interface but the script doesn't have permissions to change stuff

robban@robban-laptop:~$ clevo-xsm-wmi
[clevo-xsm-wmi] Failed to set brightness
[clevo-xsm-wmi] Failed to set mode
[clevo-xsm-wmi] Failed to set colour
[clevo-xsm-wmi] Failed to set state

The following version of QT am I using:

robban@robban-laptop:~$ qmake --version
QMake version 3.1
Using Qt version 5.9.1 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

Is it something I done wrong or something not compatible with the module?

Closing this issue since I found the solution. For anyone else having the same problem, allow root to access the X server :-)

 xhost local:root

I had googled like a crazy but found the solution right after I wrote this post... rubber ducking!

Hi @robbanlord

Thanks for this report. I develop in the next few days a new Utility UI. That will rewritten in Python and extract from this repository and move into new repository.

Hi Robert,

we have replace the Qt UI with a Python/CEF Python UI (commit 3689bd8) in the testing branch.
