Hi, I can confirm the original report. Steps to reproduce (on an 11.10 system, daily image from 20110802.1)
1- Start the terminal (gnome-terminal) 2- Launch for example gedit & 3- Close the terminal Expected behavior: - The gedit instance that was launched through the terminal remains Actual behavior: - gedit also dies when closing the terminal However this only happens with gnome-terminal and only on 11.10: - Doing the same on 11.04 with gnome-terminal works as expected, the gedit window remains once the terminal is closed - Doing the same on 11.10 with xterm (use the Unity application finder to get the xterm) works as expected, the gedit window remains once xterm is closed. I did find a workaround (back to my old Unix command line tricks), which is using nohup to launch gedit as "immune to hangups and output to a non-tty", in gnome-terminal do: nohup gedit & This should also work for other GUI programs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/819842 Title: Commands in the background are terminated after closing the terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/819842/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
