2017-11-02 18:35:40 Phillip Susi summary GParted does not work in GNOME on Wayland Xwayland not using XAUTHORITY, prevents root applications from connecting
2017-11-02 18:37:14 Phillip Susi description I have found that after switching from Xorg to Wayland on Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 with GNOME 3.22 that GParted does not run when I try to run it as root. That is when I click the icon and enter my password nothing happens. I have found that when running what is run when the icon is clicked that the output in Terminal is (gparted-pkexec): Created symlink /run/systemd/system/-.mount → /dev/null. Created symlink /run/systemd/system/boot-efi.mount → /dev/null. Created symlink /run/systemd/system/boot.mount → /dev/null. Created symlink /run/systemd/system/run-user-1000.mount → /dev/null.

So I am now unable to launch and use GParted as root which is really the only way I can run it in order to make changes.

This prevents applications run as root, like gparted or synaptic from connecting to the server. GDM needs to set up the XAUTHORITY file when running Xwayland just like it does when it runs the conventional Xorg.
