[Bug 1449748] Re: gedit can't run in root terminal

[Brian Murray]

This isn't a bug with the release upgrader, the software that provides
release upgrades, rather with the system after the release upgrade.
Subsequently, I am removing the package.

** Package changed: ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) => ubuntu

Title:
  gedit can't run in root terminal

Status in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Folowing upgrade 14.10 -> 15.04, in a root terminal:

    root at adiabat:~# gedit
    No protocol specified

    ** (gedit:8757): WARNING **: Could not open X display
    No protocol specified
    gdk_mir_display_open
    Failed to connect to Mir: Failed to connect to server socket: No such file or directory
    Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused

    (gedit:8757): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
    root at adiabat:~# 

  However, from a user terminal, " gedit" and "gksu gedit" both work
  just fine.
