I run systemd if that is relevant. All commands below were run
as ordinary user "gottlieb" (I know the sudo runs the stated command as
root)
On one machine (named E6430) running gnome-terminal is problematic.
If I log via the gnome graphical login screen I cannot start a gnome
terminal either by
Selecting it from the favorites menu
Using my own keyboard shortcut (which has worked for years)
Invoking M-x shell in emacs and typing gnome-terminal
The first two produce nothing on the screen, third produces
Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0:
Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process
org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 9
However the following both work
1. in the same emacs shell as above typing sudo gnome-terminal
2. from another machine where gnome-terminal works as normal
ssh -Y e6430
gnome-terminal
Any suggestions would be appreciated
thanks,
allan
