@Phillip,

Oh, sorry, for some reason the interface messed up and only showed me
that you changed the title. Sorry about that, it's now seemingly
preventing me for some silly reason from changing the title back. Wonder
if you could do that again? Sorry this is a little awkward.

2017-11-16 Thread Phillip Susi
No, you misunderstand.  Wayland applications running as root work just
fine under Wayland.  It is X11 applications that do not work, and the
reason it does not work is because gdm misconfigures Xwayland.  The gdm
man page says it does one thing, but it in fact does another, therefore,
it is broken.

when has synaptic package manager ever been a security risk?Waylan
allows software updater to work so should it allow synaptic to work in
root.You cant even get root terminal to work.I do not believe that I
should to have do work arounds to make it work. It just should work like
it always has.

@Nikita Yerenkov-Scott,

I think your comments about Wayland and security are explaining things
in a very good way.

I have already tried to think and act along these ideas: the current
version of mkusb works in Wayland. Originally I made it work remotely
via ssh by running things that need elevated permissions in text mode
(simply by calling sub-shellsripts with sudo), while the main
shellscript is using a GUI. It was not too difficult to do. The mileage
might vary depending on the structure of the software.

2017-11-04 Thread Nikita Yerenkov-Scott
So, basically, Wayland doesn't allow something really insecure where the
whole GUI and everything has root privileges, so it doesn't allow
insecure applications to gain root access, however a program can be
easily adapted (depending on how it's written) in order to be secure and
then you will be able to run it as normal under Wayland. For instance
etherape recently got adapted and you just have to now run it like so
"sudo etherape -Z username" and then it runs in a way Wayland finds
secure and thus it runs as normal as a GUI program but it just runs the
GUI as the normal specified user and only the necessary components as
root.

Anyway, has GParted upstream released a fix for this? Programs just have
to match the new security standards in order to run. That's all, they
will have to change and then your experience will be fine again. But I
don't think you're going to be able to lessen the Wayland standards,
instead take this up with the other developers so that they make their
programs meet those standards.

2017-11-02 Thread Phillip Susi
It appears to me that the issue is with gdm3.  Its man page says it is
supposed to create an XAUTHORITY file and set the environment variable
to point to it.  When running wayland, it does not do this and instead
relies on authenticating clients by the UID of the process.  It should
not be doing this.

Actually, Ubuntu is unlikely to enable that hack. Please just log in to
Ubuntu on Xorg if you want to run GParted. Or try the GNOME Disks app
which is installed by default and works with Wayland.

The issue is fixed in gparted version 0.30, but not in the latest ubuntu
package which is of version 0.28 in artful. Also, according to
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776437, the package must be
compiled with --enable-xhost-root. It would be great if the maintainer
(Curtis Gedak) could take a look at this.

[Bug 1652282] Re: GParted does not work in GNOME on Wayland

2017-04-24 Thread Nikita Yerenkov-Scott
@Phillip, Wayland actually does accommodate it, I have an Arch system
where it works perfectly fine with running GParted as root. The reason
it doesn't work on Ubuntu is not completely because of Wayland, but
rather because of how Wayland has been set up by the Ubuntu GNOME team.
Which is intentional for security. I don't know, but you might be able
to disable this since it's probably somewhere in the configuration. I
don't know, I just know that on Arch there is no issue with this with
the standard Wayland.

** Summary changed:

- Wayland default policy prohibits root applications
+ GParted does not work in GNOME on Wayland

** No longer affects: wayland (Ubuntu)

** Also affects: gparted (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
   Status: New

** Changed in: gparted (Ubuntu)
   Status: New => Confirmed
