Public bug reported:
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.
Created symlink /run/systemd/system/run-user-120.mount → /dev/null.
Created symlink /run/systemd/system/tmp.mount → /dev/null.
No protocol specified
(gpartedbin:16832): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
Removed /run/systemd/system/-.mount.
Removed /run/systemd/system/boot-efi.mount.
Removed /run/systemd/system/boot.mount.
Removed /run/systemd/system/run-user-1000.mount.
Removed /run/systemd/system/run-user-120.mount.
Removed /run/systemd/system/tmp.mount.
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.
