The problem: KIT Scenarist (screenplay-writing application) GUI will only open if I launch it through the terminal as:
Code: Select all
sudo scenarist
As I understand it, opening an application with sudo is a security risk. As such, I've tried, and failed, to restore the application to its previous functioning. I've tried logging out and in; restarting my computer; reinstalling KIT Scenarist; reinstalling qt5ct; reinstalling OpenType fonts; and reverting to a previous Timeshift snapshot. Hours of searching Google and tinkering have yielded very little. I apologize if I've missed something obvious.
Launching KIT Scenarist through the Linux Mint menu results in the application launching (it shows up in the System Monitor), but no GUI. Running "scenarist" in the terminal results in no GUI but (including extra spaces):
Code: Select all
OpenType support missing for "Ubuntu", script 17
Running "sudo scenarist" results in:
Code: Select all
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
Once launched with "sudo scenarist", closing the application results in:
Code: Select all
