Try running it as your normal user and not as root. It is not advised to run any gui while root.

No problem

#

Many GUI programs won't run as root. In the future, try them as your normal user instead of root. It is advised to never log in as root for normal usage. Use sudo to give different commands, such as your package manager, root access temproarily.
