I just upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 on two machines and both exhibit the same problem when attempting to open a root terminal via the built in gksu command.
The suggestion to use: gnome-terminal -e "sudo -i" is not sufficient for me, as I defined a different default profile for the root user which has a different text color (to visually differentiate a normal terminal from a su terminal) and the root profile is not loaded using this workaround. Very annoying that a built in option like "Root terminal" was broken by the 9.10 upgrade.... -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
