Confirming the symptoms - Jaunty up to date (April 17). Root terminal command from menu fails to start terminal. Trying the command from a terminal gives the "Failed to contact the GConf daemon. exiting." message. Have confirmed that the xterminal-emulator script passes no @args to gnome-terminal if run without gksu, and opens a normal terminal correctly. If run with gksu there are also no @args, but the GConf daemon error message appears after the call to "exec gnome-terminal".
This suggests that the error is actually in gnome-terminal, rather than in x-terminal-emulator. Checking the GConf settings for gnome-terminal doesn't immediately suggest what might be wrong, and if the error is a failure to contact GConf daemon the settings shouldn't matter. -- Root terminal doesn't start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/326158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
