I have removed the duplicate marking on this bug. The bug this was marked as a duplicate of, bug #1712089, is a general report about the inability to run graphical applications as root under Wayland. As noted in comment #3, this is a Wayland design decision and Synaptic needs to be changed.
I am concerned that if this bug remains as a duplicate it will be invisible to the Synaptic maintainers, delaying a fix. Absent objections to this change, I will change the duplicate settings on the other Synaptic related bugs currently dup'ed to bug #1712089 to be dup's of this. Importance needs to be set to High but I don't have permission to do that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1551951 Title: synaptic does not run over gnome wayland session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/synaptic/+bug/1551951/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
