I have the problem also: if it can help: After editing the "When the command exits: Hold the terminal open"
you can run this command from an existing gnome-terminal to reproduce the problem: gnome-terminal -e "ls -altr" (I get the the blinking cursor and no prompt) if you type gnome-terminal -x "ls -altr" (I got "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal") I noticed that editing Preferred Applications has an influence on this behaviour -- gnome-terminal lockup when launched from desktop launcher https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225942 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
