GTK Ubuntu 17.10

By default 17.10 does not allow root to access your display.

Try the command xhost +si:localuser:root then launch gedit with root privilege.

    I use Ubuntu 17.10.

    When I start gedit, virt-manager as root I get a dubious error message: gtk warning cannot open display :0.0

    I read many posts but none works with Ubuntu 17.10.

    Thanks for any help.

      Other root applications are broken on Wayland too (see bug 1713313 and bug 1713311 ).
