Works in Conventional Gnome Dupe of bug 1261672 ? > With Wayland, from a Gnome terminal > gparted /dev/sdb fails with Can't open Window gparted requires root access, so this is most likely an issue with access rights to the X11/Xwayland display when running as root. But this is pure conjecture because you haven't given much details about the error. But gparted works fine in Xwayland here, assuming you set the access rights accordingly to allow windows running as root to connect to the X11 display, this is not an issue with Wayland per se. > With Wayland, even though we have chosen to see ~ folder and trash on the > desktop. these are not there. See: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746286 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748347 and some discussion here: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2015-March/125700.html That would be a bug for Nautilus, not Wayland. Please make sure you file one bug per issue, otherwise it''s impossible to follow up an reassign bugs when it covers multiple different issues.
Reopen for F25 please
I am not really an indepth Linux internals person I do some C coding, and occasionally, want to reformat a partition. It is faster to reformat a partition than to delete recursively all the files and directories therein. Ergo, from the terminal, sudo gparted /dev/sdx #allows me to manipulate device sdx (with X11). but I am unable to do this using Wayland. All I want is to not have to continue with X11 for command line use and Wayland for everthing else.
I have the same problem with gparted. It doesn't launch from console with the error "(gpartedbin:5325): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0", and it also doesn't launch using the application icon. Same for grub-customizer. Makes you think it's a permission issue. Once sudoed the user seems no longer to have access to DISPLAY :0 Found possible duplicates, bug 1405460 and bug 1403041
Please mark as not solved with this F25 release, and with F26 coming up. One can select gnome-xorg option at login and work with gparted. I hope Wayland soon gets an X API interface, allowing all X based software to work directly under Wayland.
This is still an issue. With Wayland, I can't execute gparted. With xorg inferface, I am able to do so.
This has been repaired in the past month. Gparted operates with Wayland now. I have also tested it with rawhide (for future Fedora 28). As a note. You can invoke it from gnome guji interface with Wayland, but not with the terminal under Wayland. I often do sudo gparted /dev/sd? where & is selected from one of a..e With the Wayland Gnome /KDE interface it lists all drives, so my issue is solved.
