@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.
** Summary changed:
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.
** Changed in: gdm
Status: Unknown => Confirmed
** Changed in: gdm
Importance: Unknown => Medium

Dave, if you want things to work exactly as they used to work, just log
out and log in to the 'Ubuntu on Xorg' session.

@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 elevate
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 ab
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 th
Same thing...

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

@Mike, I am afraid that I don't know, all I know is it worked as I
described previously until a recent update and now GParted no longer
runs as root under Wayland. So it was either a bug they fixed, a new

configuration. If I find out the
@Nikita, Can you point me at any details on how your Arch Linux system
allows GParted to run as root under Wayland. On my Arch Linux VM with
GNOME on Wayland and GParted package I still have to do
"xhost +SI:localuser:root" to allow root processes to connect to the
XWayland display.

@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.
