It is unfortunate that the upstream developers chose to deal with this matter in the manner in which they have done.
I will assume by Pedro's comment that all is now in hand, but in case it helps here is a reversal of the offending patch against 8.04's sources: http://www.jcornwall.me.uk/patches/gnome/gnome-terminal-2.22.1-reverseblink.patch For users wishing to restore blink functionality before the next milestone, apply like this: apt-get source gnome-terminal cd gnome-terminal-2.22.1 patch -p0 < /path/to/gnome-terminal-2.22.1-reverseblink.patch dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot (from package dpkg-dev for this) sudo cp debian/tmp/usr/bin/* /usr/bin sudo cp debian/tmp/etc/gconf/schemas/* /etc/gconf/schemas sudo cp debian/tmp/usr/share/gnome-terminal/glade/* /usr/share/gnome-terminal/glade (You will need to use another terminal, like xterm, to overwrite the gnome-terminal binary. I'd advise against installing the whole built .dpkg file as it will conflict with the apt repository.) -- Blinking cursor can not be deactivated anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188732 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
