Package: lshw-gtk Version: 02.18.85-0.1 Severity: important lshw-gtk doesn't run under wayland in the way it is currently implemented. This is because root cannot access the graphical interface under wayland. This is a design choice which affects quite a few applications.
There are several ways to deal with this. The best would obviously be a redesign of the application; but there are other solutions. The most popular ones either include the environment variable XDG_RUNTIME_DIR within the sudo env (it is cleaned out by default) or use a temporary access rule using xhost. Both have its drawbacks. I don't know if there is a general acceptable solution for this, or if there is a central bug tracking page for this issue in Debian 10. If so, I'd be happy to know. I know that synaptic has been dropped completely because of this, but it would be sad to drop all affected packages which don't get fixed upstream. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lshw-gtk depends on: ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libgcc1 1:8.3.0-6 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.38.1+dfsg-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.3-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.32-3 ii libstdc++6 8.3.0-6 Versions of packages lshw-gtk recommends: ii menu 2.1.47+b1 ii pciutils 1:3.5.2-1 ii usbutils 1:010-3 lshw-gtk suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
