gksu is no longer required for root access; the preferred method is using pkexec.

Running backintime as root works under Gnome running
$ export QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1
$ gksu backintime-qt4
see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42030

Package 'kdesdk-kompare' has been renamed to 'kompare'.

I have the same problem. Running backintime-qt4 as root only shows empty windows.

I am also having these errors when trying to start the root version. Blank windows if done from terminal and nothing starts at all when using the menu icon in gnome. Are there any known fixes yet?

Yes I have, for testing I also installed polkit-qt4 polkit-qt5 polkit-gnome but nothing changed.
If I try to launch it with gksu I get these errors:

Do you have polkit installed?
Wabuo commented on 2015-06-12 15:01 (UTC)
backintime-root wont start =(
the only thing I could find was this line in journalctl:
backintime-qt4-root.desktop[1303]: Refusing to render service to dead parents.
Where can I find the log files from backintime-root?
Someone some tips and tricks ?

Using an AUR helper such as yay to build packages including backintime is HIGHLY discouraged. The recommended build method is to use a clean chroot. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot
I wrote a script that automates much of that called clean-chroot-manager offered here in the AUR.
Please stop posting build failures because you insist on building with yay or other AUR helpers.
