** Summary changed: - Update g-t 3.36 version to solve --wait issue(bionic) + --wait option not working as expected (3.28)
** Description changed: Dear Maintainers, - - We have developed a program that it launches a new gnome-terminal with a ssh tunnel connection. Basically, the program forwards a local port to the destination address and opens a new terminal with a ssh connection to the local port: - + We have developed a program that it launches a new gnome-terminal with a + ssh tunnel connection. Basically, the program forwards a local port to + the destination address and opens a new terminal with a ssh connection + to the local port: gnome-terminal -e "/usr/bin/ssh -o XXX -p XXX ubuntu@127.0.0.2" The problem comes when we need to know when this gnome-terminal session has finished, in order to end the tunnel process. As you might know, the gnome-terminal command fires up gnome-terminal-server which it might be already running. Who handles the "ssh" connection is the gnome-terminal- server and not the gnome-terminal command, thus our program receives and exit code just after executing the previous command. In previous version there was the --disable-factory option, but unfortunately now is deprecated. Because of this type of problem it was added the --wait flag which was introduced in 3.27.1: gnome-terminal --wait -e "/usr/bin/ssh -o XXX -p XXX ubuntu@127.0.0.2" - - Nevertheless, there's a bug in this version. More information: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-terminal/issues/16 + Nevertheless, there's a bug in this version. More information: + https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-terminal/issues/16 You can reproduced by launching a new gnome-terminal with the --wait flag from a gnome-terminal session and try to close it via a window operation. In that version --wait only works if with the exit command in the opened session. As mentioned in the linked URL this is solved in version >= 3.36 which also uses a new vte version (libvte-2.91-dev_0.60.1). I have seen that there are multiple issues referring the --disable-factory deprecated option, those could be closed as the new --wait option has the same behavior. - Could we update the bionic gnom-terminal 3.28 to >= 3.36 version? + Shall we update the libvte version used by gnome? The last libvte + version has the proper child exit SIGNAL handler which solves the + described issue.
