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.

[Bug 1652282] Re: GParted does not work in GNOME on Wayland
@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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1652282 Title: GParted does not work in GNOME on Wayland To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/1652282/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1652282] Re: GParted does not work in GNOME on Wayland
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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1652282 Title: GParted does not work in GNOME on Wayland To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/1652282/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1652282] Re: GParted does not work in GNOME on Wayland
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.
