Bug ID: 103894
Summary: Synaptic Package Manager and other apps that want to
display as root will not run on wayland by default
Product: Wayland
Version: unspecified
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: critical
Priority: medium
Component: wayland
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Problem: Common and easily fixable issues are not documented on the Wayland
website -- and that can cause Newbs to give up prematurely on Wayland.
What I would like to see as a fix: Please create a place on your website that
talks about common problems with Wayland and solutions to those problems.
Further discussion:
The fix/workaround for the Synaptic problem is easy and available:
xhost +si:localuser:root
(place in Startup Application Preferences -- on Gnome)
The issue is that we users (meaning everyone that needs Synaptic on Linux --
meaning... _everyone_) have to hunt all over the Internet to find it. It is
really bad in terms of experience for those that use Wayland for the first
time:

Please create a place on your website that talks about common problems with
