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

Hey Joachim,
Could you supply us with some more information, like:

Hi Jeron,

How to do?

Can you also answer a few extra questions such as:
- Are you running the program from a vtty or a terminal inside your desktop
environment(If yes what terminal are you using?)
Inside gnome-terminal from gnome-desktop
- Can you supply us with a list of the applications that do not work and
could you also try running them trough `gnome-do`?
The following example apps are not running with sudo:
1. xterm, gnome-terminal or usbview (examples I tested)
2. I did not test gnome-do (I installed it, but I don't know how to use it?)
I will await your answer.
Kind regards
