Right, it's an X11-without-gconf issue. See my post, above, for my workaround for fluxbox. Like you, I use fluxbox and gnome-terminal. It's a simple matter of getting gconf running. I do it by running gnome-settings-daemon in my .fluxbox/startup. (startx does start DBUS, so gnome stuff can find itself once started.) BTW, ctrl-alt-f1 is not the simplest way. There are other viable terminal emulators you can start from the menu: Applications->Terminal Emulators->anything but gnome terminal. If you don't have any others installed, aptitude install xterm It's not very nice, but it works well as a failsafe. Or start any other GUI program that lets you run shell commands. e.g. emacs, and M-x shell. (and start gnome-settings-daemon that way.) -- Cannot start gnome-terminal because of gconf error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/328575 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
