Description Giulio 'juliuxpigface' 2016-10-13 19:38:28 UTC 
Description of problem:

system-config-language can't be launched on a Gnome+Wayland session.
Here's the output I get when launching system-config-language from terminal:

$ system-config-language 
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Impossibile connettersi: Connection refused
No protocol specified
Unable to init server: Impossibile connettersi: Connection refused

(system-config-language.py:5558): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-language-3.4.0-1.fc25.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open system-config-language


Actual results:
The tool crashes.

Expected results:
Ideally, the tool should work under wayland too

Additional info:
I set "severity" to low, since Gnome uses different tools in order to change system's language.
Comment 1 Giulio 'juliuxpigface' 2016-10-13 20:34:06 UTC 
I can confirm the issue isn't reproducible on Gnome+Xorg. Setting this to block the "Wayland-related" tracker.
Comment 2 Christian Stadelmann 2016-10-13 21:12:57 UTC 
Probably related to:

Bug #1274451 - sudo with graphical apps doesn't work on wayland 

Bug #1284222 - Application wont start on Gnome Wayland
Comment 3 Parag Nemade 2016-10-19 06:31:21 UTC 
so I tested the workaround suggested in bug#1274451 which is working fine.

Execute this first 
xhost +si:localuser:root

and then run this application.
Comment 4 Parag Nemade 2017-09-28 03:49:28 UTC 
I still have not got time to look how can this application be started under wayland without any extra settings.
Comment 5 Parag Nemade 2018-04-06 13:50:47 UTC 
Well, I am inclined to close this as WONTFIX based on the resolution provided for bug#1274451
