@wiz Thanks, didn't work, but it gave me some ideas to try out and I found out the issue:

Problem is, I was starting Bisq as root.

```
root at debian:/# /opt/Bisq/Bisq
```

If I run it as a normal user, it works fine.

Its not even a problem with root, but its with calling `su` from a normal user session. If I login to GNOME/Xfce as root, calling `/opt/Bisq/Bisq` works. However, if I login as a normal user, then try `su` or `su -` in a terminal, then `/opt/Bisq/Bisq` fails.

@ripcurlx : In this case, the release notes for Linux could say:

> "Running `/opt/Bisq/Bisq` as root, after using `su` or `su -` from a normal user session, may fail. Instead, call `/opt/Bisq/Bisq` as the normal user directly, or use the Bisq shortcut in the OS application menu. See #4535 for details."
