Package: gnome-terminal Version: 3.18.1-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I use this machine both with Gnome and XFCE, depending on which user is logged in. My /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator points to /usr/bin/gnome- terminal.wrapper. When I log into XFCE and try to open a terminal it fails. The error I get when I try to start it from the command line (e.g. inside an "xterm"): % x-terminal-emulator Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Erreur lors de l'appel de StartServiceByName pour org.gnome.Terminal : GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 9 % So, it looks like gnome-terminal.wrapper is not appropriate as a global /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator since such a global setting should work in other environments as well. IOW either gnome-terminal.wrapper needs to be fixed to work in other environments, or it should not be used for etc/alternatives/x-terminal- emulator. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (100, 'stable'), (10, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CH.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CH.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gnome-terminal depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.24.0-2 ii gconf-service 3.2.6-3 ii gnome-terminal-data 3.18.1-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.18.1-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.18.0-1 ii libc6 2.19-22 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.14.4-1 ii libcairo2 1.14.4-1 ii libdconf1 0.24.0-2 ii libgconf-2-4 3.2.6-3 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.32.1-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.46.1-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.18.2-1 ii libnautilus-extension1a 3.18.1-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.38.1-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.38.1-1 ii libuuid1 2.27.1-1 ii libvte-2.91-0 0.42.1-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 Versions of packages gnome-terminal recommends: ii dbus-x11 1.10.2-1 ii gvfs 1.26.1.1-1 ii yelp 3.16.1-1 gnome-terminal suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
