I can still use the terminal normally. I do not observe this issue with loading default settings if I run the normal user terminal (i.e. Applications->Accessories->Terminal). I can replicate this problem on two different machines that were updated simultaneously. Error message upon loading root terminal: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.) -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-terminal depends on: ii gnome-terminal-data 2.22.3-3 Data files for the GNOME terminal ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.24.0-2 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgconf2-4 2.24.0-7 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.3-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.18.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.20.1.1-2 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomeui-0 2.20.1.1-2 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.12-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii liborbit2 1:2.14.16-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.22.4-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libstartup-notification0 0.9-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libvte9 1:0.16.14-4 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii scrollkeeper 0.3.14-16 A free electronic cataloging syste Versions of packages gnome-terminal recommends: ii yelp 2.22.1-8+b1 Help browser for GNOME 2 gnome-terminal suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-terminal depends on: ii gnome-terminal-data 2.22.3-3 Data files for the GNOME terminal ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.24.0-2 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgconf2-4 2.24.0-7 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.3-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.18.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.20.1.1-2 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomeui-0 2.20.1.1-2 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.12-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii liborbit2 1:2.14.16-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.22.4-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libstartup-notification0 0.9-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libvte9 1:0.16.14-4 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii scrollkeeper 0.3.14-16 A free electronic cataloging syste Versions of packages gnome-terminal recommends: ii yelp 2.22.1-8+b1 Help browser for GNOME 2 gnome-terminal suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
