wayland support

[jamdox]

it'd be nice to be able to use the GUI under wayland session in gnome!

Can you open the gui under wayland and paste the error messages you have
got ?

Same issue on Fedora 25 Beta (which has Wayland as default)

@Foggalong One of the main issues on wayland is that you can run gksudo anymore...Do you have any idea how to avoid that? or something else we can use ?

[Foggalong]

@bil-elmoussaoui Basically no. gksu has been deprecated but nothing function has yet replaced it :/

[bilelmoussaoui]

I think we can use pkexec and ship our own PolicyKit (should be placed on /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/). Even synaptic moved to use pkexec instead of gksudo...

[Foggalong]

Last I heard pkexec wasn't ready for daily use yet, though admittedly it's a very long time since I looked into it. I'm happy to make the switch but it'll be a few days until I have time to sit down and learn how it works, so if you or someone else wants to do that in the mean time then be my guest :)

[bilelmoussaoui]

I will do by this evening

[palob]

Couldn't we alternatively implement the script on a per-user base by copying the icons to ~/.local/share/icons/? What's in local directories is prioritised over /usr(/local)/share.
This way we wouldn't need to ask for root user priviliges at all and the customised icons would persist updates of a global Numix installation, addressing #101.

[bilelmoussaoui]

I'm going to work on improve Numix folders and i wanted to do the same as you're proposing ;) hope it will work without any problem ;)

[Foggalong]

That sounds like a better way to do things :)
