The error message tells you that gparted is looking for an X display but Garuda Hyprland uses wayland.
Does gparted have an API to Xwayland? I do not know. The Garuda-Hyprland-Gang should know this better than me.
If gparted not support wayland, use parted (w/o the “g”) in the terminal or try a partition manager that works natively under Wayland, for example gnome-disk-utility or kde partitionmanager.

Here, it seems that installing xorg-xhost solved it

But from this, I assume it was already installed (maybe reinstall it).

Did you retry gparted after that?

not working


~
❯ xhost +localhost
localhost being added to access control list

~
❯ sudo gparted
Authorization required, but no authorization protocol specified


(gpartedbin:179719): Gtk-WARNING **: 21:10:21.811: cannot open display: :1

and done re-installing also

just now tried kde partitionmanager working perfectly . i don’t see any way to solve issues for gparted

6

ohh i got it . we should not use sudo … i remove sudo and polkit ask for password when i enter its work

7

It seems your environment is not set up right. Are you logging in with the “Garuda Hyprland” session?

Does this run?

sudo -E gparted

yeah its work …
does i need to put -E option if i got same issues on other application ??

9

No, it’s best to not run applications that way. It does suggest something needed in your user environment is not being carried over when you run something with root.

10

yeah logging with the garuda hyprland

11

Can you test if this runs?

/usr/lib/garuda/pkexec-gui gparted
12

i got this

==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.garuda.libs.pkexec-gui.pkexec.policy.run ====
Authentication is required to run a GUI program as root.

This incident has been reported.

one question might be stupid what difference between normal hyprland(session) and garuda-hyprland(session) ?? kind a confuse which one to use ?

14

Hmm, something is messed up with your setup. Do you have this line in your config somewhere?

exec-once =/usr/lib/polkit-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1

One launches Hyprland with a wrapper script which sets some needed environment variables. If I recall correctly, it was necessary to make a separate desktop file that launches the session with the wrapper script because the “normal” one is overwritten every time Hyprland gets updated.

yeah i had on my hyprland config should i remove it ??

ohh by default garuda had polkit setup ?

by removing it is working that

    /usr/lib/garuda/pkexec-gui gparted

opened gparted app

Make sure you have done the following before you post:

Issue still unresolved? Then:

  • ONE issue per topic.
19

It should be in there by default. The latest version has it here: etc/skel/.config/hypr/settings/manual_settings.conf · main · Garuda Linux 🦅 / Themes and Settings / Settings / Garuda Hyprland Settings · GitLab

Did you have it in there twice? Maybe one of them was typo’d?
