Wayland!
Run GUI Apps As Root
Okay, so this doesn't work by default for a reason. It's a bad idea to run GUI apps as root, as it gives them access to X.org/Xwayland/Wayland/etc. But, if you MUST do it (*cough* MATLAB *cough*), here's how:
Allow Root Control of Wayland:
xhost si:localuser:root
Revoke Root Control of Wayland When Finished:
xhost -si:localuser:root
Guake F12 Toggle Doesn't Work!
This is a problem that occurs when Guake is installed on Wayland. It occurs because Guake can't add register the default keybinding with GNOME. You can fix this by adding it yourself:
- Open the GNOME dash and search for "Keyboard." Open the keyboard shortcut settings.
- Scroll to the bottom and create a new global shortcut:
- Name: Guake
- Command:
guake -t - Shortcut:
F12
