gparted will not run in a GNOME-Wayland session.

Run GNOME in X11 to run gparted.

This is because it tries to run with root privileges, right?

Hi,
tried to start gparted out of an xterm with su and  pw no success. Logged in as root,
xterm, gparted started. What's in this case the difference in giving as user su and pw
and beeing logged in as root?

see log copied from xterm:

[joerg@linux ~]$ su

Wayland does not allow this.

Right.   I was remiss in only stating how to get gparted to run, not why it wouldn't
run. 

Thanks for stepping in.

blivet-gui works on Wayland and baring any bugs it should be a
suitable replacement for gparted; and actually contains quite a bit
more functionality than gparted. It also asks for authentication but
based on what I'm seeing with ps, I'm gonna guess it's the GUI part
owned by the non-privileged user where the daemon doing the storage
modifications is owned by root.

[chris@f25h ~]$ ps aux | grep blivet
