I can't disprove what you say. Thanks again for the help fixing the
thing, though! -- al

Well, that certainly fixed the problem. As far as I know, I never
unchecked that box. It seems to me that it should be checked in the
default installation. Perhaps it is, but for some reason, my particular
installation--I used the alternate CD--somehow screwed up. I'd have to
do a new installation to check this and that's just to painful to think
about. Thanks for the info! -- al

You don't ask much!

Anyway, I followed your recipe and managed to produce the failure and a
crash report was created in /var/crash. In fact, I did this twice--I'm
getting to be an expert in crashing gnome-terminal. I understood your
message to require that I restart apport. That didn't work. The crash
didn't produce a report. So I did a total reboot--perhaps I only need to
log out to restart all the gnome stuff--and that did the trick. There is
no need to use Nautilus to find the report and double-click it. (And, if
you want to do that, you need to change the permissions of the report,
which are 0600.) There was a notification placed in the panel and I was
able to click that and, or so I was led to believe by the information in
the GUI, send off the report.

I think closing the bug report is the wrong thing to do. I'm attaching
the crash report, since the feature to send it automatically might not
actually work. Please reopen the bug report. Thanks.

[Bug 227664] Re: gnome-terminal dies on creation of a new profile

2008-05-07 Thread Al Grimstad
I want to note that the abnormal exit has happened to a gnome-terminal
NOT started with gksu as well. I just haven't spent the time to find a
repeatable sequence of steps not using gksu.

[Bug 227664] [NEW] gnome-terminal dies on creation of a new profile

2008-05-07 Thread Al Grimstad
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

gnome-terminal/hardy uptodate 2.22.1-0ubuntu2

Invoking Edit->Profiles ...->New in gnome-terminal results in the
program exiting just after the name of the new profile is entered
followed by hitting the Enter key. When gnome-terminal is restarted, the
new profile has been created and is ready for editing.

This has happened several times, at least three, including twice this
morning. It is not, however, uniformly repeatable. I'm pretty sure that
in all cases the exit happened when adding a second profile, the initial
state being that onlty the Default profile existed.

This sequence of actions just caused the error, the fourth time at
least. Two gnome-terminal running, each started with gksu gnome-
terminal. In one, I delete the second profile, called "ALternative". I
quit the terminal in which I performed that action. I start a new gnome-
terminal with gksu. I add a new profile and the program exits.

This now seems repeatable, because it happened again, the fifth time,
using the above sequence of steps.
