I realized this morning that I am running the desktop in Gnome Classic mode and I see this: $ ps ax | grep X 1815 tty2 Sl+ 250:50 /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg vt2 -displayfd 3 -auth /run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority -background none -noreset -keeptty -verbose 3 22870 pts/9 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto X and on my laptop running Gnome I see: $ ps ax | grep X 28301 tty2 Sl+ 0:00 /usr/bin/Xwayland :0 -rootless -terminate -accessx -core -listen 4 -listen 5 -displayfd 6 28910 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto X I then logged into Gnome Classic on the laptop and see: $ ps ax | grep X 29206 tty2 Sl+ 0:01 /usr/lib/xorg/Xorg vt2 -displayfd 3 -auth /run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority -background none -noreset -keeptty -verbose 3 29968 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto X and as you might expect, running zenmap as root works as expected. Thank you. I learned something again today. :-) I had been previously unaware that Gnome Classic actually runs under Xorg. I'd seen the "Gnome on Xorg" GDM menu entry but had never chosen it. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
