[Bug 1652282] Re: GParted does not work in GNOME on Wayland

[Jeremy Bicha]

Actually, Ubuntu is unlikely to enable that hack. Please just log in to
Ubuntu on Xorg if you want to run GParted. Or try the GNOME Disks app
which is installed by default and works with Wayland.

Bug description:
  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.
