I use nano for most work on remote servers, But fro all of the server that have a GUI installed we use (used) kwrite. This came up in another thread recently: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F26_bugs#Running_graphical_apps_with_root_privileges_.28e.g._gparted.29_does_not_work_on_Wayland The idea is to protect you from yourself, because "everyone knows" running a GUI app as root is subject to horrible exploits which might very well end the world as we know it. The only problem is that you'd expect to be able to trivially google for what exploits those might be, or a record of what horrible things have happened to bad children who run GUI apps as root, yet I'm still trying to find that list (or even a single example). Just run Xorg instead of wayland and you'll be back to normal. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
