can you please tell why you did not give your genuine advice to other users ?

Because I like you best :-X

It was intended as genuine advice rather than a criticism.

It all comes down to chemistry/attitude and action/reaction. These elements cannot be quantified but are an organic part of human interaction.

I agree.

So lesson is

@boycottsystemd: Assuming you're trying to use gvim while using X.org or equivalent, and are not running from a virtual console, you may have been bitten by the change in 'su -u' in beowulf. It no longer transfers your DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY environment variables to root.

You might try something like this alias:

alias tosu='su - -w DISPLAY,XAUTHORITY'

Then try gvim and see what happens.

Thank you, it works so problem is solved. (X.org, LXTerminal)

You might try something like this alias:

alias tosu='su - -w DISPLAY,XAUTHORITY'

Then try gvim and see what happens.

I could use gvim as sudo for the same command though.

Do you have please explanation for it ?

Hmm ...
Let's see.
Ah yes, found one you may like:

HoaS, golinux, our boss r.r and I are all members of a secret systemd cabal infiltrated here at Dev1 and, having nothing better to do, decided to gang up on you.
Nothing personal, just for business.
ie: fun and spite.

There obviosuly should be a constent rule for it as otherwise any poster might feel left out or fingered; especially those that do search first and don't get any credit for that, as well as those who don't search first and thus suffer an amount of face loss.

There is no mention of it because it is basic common sense to do so before posting a question here and in every other forum on the net.
The same way it is basic common sense to then do a search on the site/forum to see if anyone else has come across that problem before you did.
And maybe found (or not) a solution which may have worked for them but not for you.

No need to take it as a criticism, HoaS always gives genuinely good advice.

I've read 10 previous threads here (in "Desktop and Multimedia"). I was the only one (out of these 10 threads) who was told about making search before posting question. Do you have please explanation for it ?

So why such criticism in this thread ?

It's always best to enter the error message into a search engine:

why do you think I didn't do that ?

Obviously, because you didn't say you did.  A proper answer requires a question containing all relevant information.  IOW, you get what you ask for.
