*gnome-system-log* does not work on *Wayland*
Currently, when logged in a *Wayland* session, the root user is not allowed to access the user's Xwayland display. As a consequence, running the *gnome-system-log* utility in terminal does not display system log files.
To work around this problem, run the following *xhost* server access control program as follows:
$ xhost +si:localuser:root

that's because we don't allow root to access the user's Xwayland display. running: $ xhost +si:localuser:root would probably fix it. mutter could presumably fix it with an XAddHost call. Probably going to miss 7.5 at this point. |
