Jaunty beta. affects me too, both if I run it with sudo and if I run it remotely with ssh:
$ sudo gnome-terminal [sudo] password for paolo: Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting. $ ssh -Yf paolo gnome-terminal pa...@paolo's password: pa...@parroco:~$ Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting. Notably the issue is only with gnome-terminal. All other applications run well in both situations. Also when local pc = intrepid, remote = jaunty : running gnome-terminal with ssh => the same error -- Cannot start gnome-terminal bcause of gconf error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/328575 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
