Hi,
seeing coincidentally that some X11 applications with sudo under
GNOME/Wayland will fail:
-------------------------------------------------------------
For example:
1. sudo xterm
No protocol specified
Warning: This program is an suid-root program or is being run by the
root user.
The full text of the error or warning message cannot be safely formatted
in this environment. You may get a more descriptive message by running
the
program as a non-root user or by removing the suid bit on the executable.
xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: %s
2. sudo gnome-terminal
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Running the same under Gnome/Xorg executes properly.
Anybody sees this too?
Kind regards
Joachim Backes
It's not possible to run wayland clients as root.
