This works in Xorg desktop sessions, but does not work in Wayland desktop sessions. That is because it starts the Gtk program with a blank environment and only adds the DISPLAY environment variable, but not WAYLAND_DISPLAY nor XAUTHORITY which would at least have allowed it to display over XWayland. This is fixed by exposing the WAYLAND_DISPLAY and/or XAUTHORITY environment variables to the Gtk program. [ Test Case ] 1. Log-in to a Wayland desktop session 2. Download `noisy-fake-driver_0.6_amd64.deb` from the attachments. 3. Run `pkcon install-local ~/Downloads/noisy-fake-driver_0.6_amd64.deb` 4. Complete the installation 5. Verify that you saw the "Do you see this message?" question [ Where problems could occur ] It's fair to assume that the graphical debconf helper hasn't received much testing recently, with `apt` defaulting to the text-base helper and `pkcon` failing to show it in Wayland; so it's possible that it doesn't work well.
