Support
1

When I try to open some file with Gedit, I will get below warnings in terminal and then file opens. How can I get rid of it.

~ >>> sudo gedit abc.txt

dconf warning is because you’re running gedit as root.

Don’t run GUI apps as root.

GUI as root.

Pro tip: not a good idea.

Plugins are for various spell checkers (ie: hspell is a Hebrew spell checker). If you don’t have it installed, no biggie.

@sistematico As the OP was running as root, that closed this thread but the solution was never accepted which I did just now. Therefore, please create a new thread as your issue seems to be different…
