While I agree with most of stuff said here, lets not turn this bug into a flame war.
I want to repeat myself, that commenting out this: in terminal.c: /* If the gconf daemon isn't available (e.g. because there's no dbus * session bus running), we'd crash later on. Tell the user about it * now, and exit. See bug #561663. */ if (!gconf_ping_daemon ()) { g_printerr ("Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting.\n"); exit (1); } made it work for me -- 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 Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
