Fedora Add/remove software problem

Question

Whenever I try to run Add/remove software from menu, it gives me this error:

PackageKit Error: Running graphical applications as privileged user should be avoided for security reasons. Therefor this application will close.

I m currently logged in as root.

How to rectify this?

Answer 1

Log in as a non root user. If you want to install software as root use yum from the command line, although it's still recommended to use a non root user and run yum via sudo to avoid other possible mishaps in the command line.
