I am somewhat baffled, why some people would like to run rkward as
root. It is definitely not something recommended, and I am not sure,
whether there is any true use case for it (although you are not the
first person to ask). Perhaps, if you could tell us what you want to
achieve, we can suggest a workaround.

Anyway, the immediate reason why running as root fails is indeed
sandboxing restrictions in the embedded QWebEngine. The correct way to
pass additional parameters (such as --no-sandbox) to the QWebEngine is
by using environment variables:

  sudo QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--no-sandbox" rkward

starting rkward with root priveleges in opensuse leap 15.5

[ndordea]

Hello, 
Could you please tell me  if it is possible to start rkward 0.7.5 [ from 
opensuse R-release repo]  
as root .
I tried using --no-sandbox and starting rkward from a root session or via kdesu 
-c ' rkward --no-
sandbox'

All attempts fail .

Thank you ,

Nick Dordea
