As far as I can see at the moment terminator does not use the proper syntax for it to declare to be an alternative for x-terminal-emulator [1]
Programs that depend on the -e option appear to be broken when terminator is the program linked in /etc/alternatives/x-terminal- emulator. Please don't specify to be an alternative if this is not the case. And please correct me if I am wrong. [1] http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-customized- programs.html#s11.8.3 ** Package changed: winff (Ubuntu) => terminator (Ubuntu) ** Description changed: + terminator does not honour the -e option as xterm does. It claims it is + an alternative for x-terminal-emulator so it must honor it as the option + -x in terminator. + + ----- Original report ----- Binary package hint: winff NB. I haven't been able to recreate this bug so I'm not sure what caused it. However I am reporting it and a fix as a record of its exsistance. Hope that's cool :/ I installed winff and got the error; x-terminal-emulator: error: Expected zero additional arguments, found 1 A little investigation revealed that /etc/alternatives/x-terminal- emulator was symlinked to /usr/bin/terminator which I had installed previously. To solve the bug I created the correct symlink, /usr/bin/gnome- terminal.wrapper. Winff now works as it should. ** Summary changed: - a symbolic link to terminator affects winff + terminator does not honor x-terminal-emulator -e option -- terminator does not honor x-terminal-emulator -e option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366644 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
