Package: gparted
Version: 0.25.0-1+b1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I am running Debian 9.3 with GNOME 3.22.
As the title suggests, gparted runs fine on Xorg but has problems with
Xwayland.
When running gparted as root on a GNOME Wayland session, I get:
Created symlink /run/systemd/system/-.mount → /dev/null.
Created symlink /run/systemd/system/home.mount → /dev/null.
Created symlink /run/systemd/system/run-user-1001.mount → /dev/null.
Created symlink /run/systemd/system/run-user-117.mount → /dev/null.
Created symlink /run/systemd/system/tmp.mount → /dev/null.
No protocol specified
(gpartedbin:9080): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
Removed /run/systemd/system/-.mount.
Removed /run/systemd/system/home.mount.
Removed /run/systemd/system/run-user-1001.mount.
Removed /run/systemd/system/run-user-117.mount.
Removed /run/systemd/system/tmp.mount.
The program immediately exits after these messages without popping up any sort
of graphical window. However, when I run the same gparted command from an Xorg
session (as root), gparted starts up fine and works normally.
Thank you for taking your time to read this. =)
Byron
P.S. I marked this bug as "important" because of the universal desire to
replace Xorg with Wayland. Any developer please feel free to change the
severity.
