This permits me to provide following details : $ GTS_PID=$(pidof gnome-terminal-server) $ PARENT_PID=$(ps --no-header -o ppid $GTS_PID | sed -e 's/ //g') $ ps n -fp $GTS_PID,$PARENT_PID UID PID PPID C STIME TTY STAT TIME CMD 1001 2551 1 0 avril27 ? Ss 0:00 /lib/systemd/systemd --user 1001 4812 2551 0 avril27 ? Ssl 0:10 /usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server $ grep -e Name -e Umask /proc/{$GTS_PID,$PARENT_PID}/status | sort /proc/2551/status:Name: systemd /proc/2551/status:Umask: 0007 /proc/4812/status:Name: gnome-terminal- /proc/4812/status:Umask: 0022 $ cat /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.Terminal.service [D-BUS Service] Name=org.gnome.Terminal SystemdService=gnome-terminal-server.service Exec=/usr/lib/gnome-terminal/gnome-terminal-server This proves that 'gnome-terminal-server' has the wrong 0022 umask, although it is started by 'systemd' in user mode with the right 0007 umask. This seems to point the bad 'umask=0022' hardcoding inside 'gnome- terminal-server' and/or inside the method defined by the 'gnome- terminal' package to start 'gnome-terminal-server' through the 'dbus' service. Anyway, this bad 'umask=0022' hardcoding, which must be corrected, is somewhere inside the 'gnome-terminal' package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1685754 Title: gnome-terminal unduly forces umask=0022 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1685754/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
