<< OpenFileDialog works only as root >>
-
Hello,
I am using some programs created using Qt (I am not developing any programs).
After opening a program, I want to load a file. As a normal user, the OpenFile dialog appears but do not let me choose any file or even change the directory. If I run the same program as root (under linux), the OpenFile dialog behave normally.
This happens with different programs compiled using Qt (Avogadro, Mercury, GDIS,...)
Any ideas?
Thx
Hatuey

Please provide your Qt version, linux flavour and version.
Did you check the file permissions on the opened directory?
@JohanSolo
qmake --version:
QMake version 2.01a
Using Qt version 4.8.6 in /usr/lib64Linux flavour: OpenSUSE 13.2 64bits
Yes, I do have read/write permission on the opened directory.

Apparently you're using the Qt version provided by OpenSUSE.
By chance, do you know the Qt version against which the problematic application was linked?

Nop, I do not know. It is possible to get that kind of information from the application executable?

I would say no.
How did you install the software in the first place?
@JohanSolo
The Avogadro soft is available form the distro repos (and can be download from: http://avogadro.cc/wiki/Main_Page.
The Mercury software is only available by direct download from: http://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/Solutions/FreeSoftware/Pages/FreeMercury.aspx -

"It is possible to get that kind of information from the application executable?" - it's easy.
Call ldd PATH_TO_EXECUTABLE in a terminal
