Description Julian Sikorski 2013-01-10 18:12:24 UTC 
Hi,

I am unable to start gnome-system-log since upgrading to Fedora 18:

$ sudo gnome-system-log
No protocol specified

** (logview:2878): WARNING **: Could not open X display

(logview:2878): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

This is with gnome-system-log-3.6.1-2.fc18.x86_64. How can I obtain more information so that this report is actually useful? Thank you in advance.

This is still happening with gnome-system-log-3.9.90-7.fc26.x86_64:
$ sudo gnome-system-log
Unable to init server: Nie można połączyć: Connection refused

(logview:27529): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
Comment 2 André Klapper 2020-09-26 09:41:03 UTC 
gnome-system-log is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than four years ago. Its codebase has been archived at https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-system-log/

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
