XDG_RUNTIME_DIR errror

I have a problem when I try to use the following command:

sudo konsole -e "sudo xterm"

This returns "QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'

Anyone could tell me what I have to do?

Thanks!

Re: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR errror

The command just works, however you see the warning message. You can verify that:

First you need to have xterm installed:
$ sudo apt install xterm

Now run:
$ sudo konsole -e "sudo xterm"

Re: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR errror

The thing is that when I run that command you said (sudo konsole -e "sudo xterm"), the terminal returns two warnings about "QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'.

Is there a way to set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to one default directory to make that warning disappear?
