[Gprename-users] [SOLVED] Re: gprename-20220807 cannot be started w/o root permissions: DynaLoader.pm

[Rüdiger A. <rue...@gm...>]

Thanks for the input.

"gprename /home/<username>" does work on OpenSuse Tumbleweed (rolling
release).
On both Debian stable and OpenSuse Leap ('stable') I had no problem at all.

Solution for Tumbleweed:
- After successfully using "gprename /home/<username>" just once,
gprename can now successfuly be started on OpenSuse Tumbleweed without
any parameters.
Today, I first tried starting gprename w/o any parameters but got the
same error message again. Therefore, I am very positive that invoking
"gprename /home/<username>" fixed the error for reasons far beyond my
limited capacity to comprehend. ;-)

This reminds me of a post in which a Manjaro user reported the same
issue I had but he fixed it by installing and removing "gtk2-perl":
