** Description changed: - On a clean install of Lubuntu Desktop 18.04, the default x-terminal- - emulator is set to txiterm, which comes from the package xiterm+thai. - With this terminal it's not possible to use characters with accents like - í or Á. + STEPS TO REPRODUCE + ================== + 1. Install a daily version of Lubuntu Desktop Bionic or boot to the live system + 2. Check for where /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator is symlinked - This is particularly troublesome when using a Brazilian Portuguese - install, as the Desktop folder is called "Área de Trabalho", Music is - "Música", Public is "Público" and Videos is "Vídeos". From a clean - install using the terminal, it's impossible to access or use the - directories "Música" or "Área de Trabalho". If another directory is - created and starts with "V", then "Vídeos" become inaccessible, the same - if a directory starting with "P" is created happens to Público. + EXPECTED RESULTS + ================ + /usr/bin/lxterminal - Lubuntu has the lxterminal terminal emulator, which does not have this - problem, but the default x-terminal-emulator that is set is txiterm. If - the default x-terminal-emulator was lxterminal, this would not happen. + ACTUAL RESULTS + ============== + /usr/bin/txiterm - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 - Package: lubuntu-desktop 0.92 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-10.11-generic 4.15.3 - Uname: Linux 4.15.0-10-generic x86_64 - ApportVersion: 2.20.8-0ubuntu10 - Architecture: amd64 - CurrentDesktop: LXDE - Date: Thu Mar 1 19:15:34 2018 - InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-02-26 (3 days ago) - InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Alpha amd64 (20180226) - SourcePackage: lubuntu-meta - UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + AFFECTED VERSIONS + ================= + * Desktop only; not Alternate + * Bionic only; Artful is not affected + * both amd64 and i386 + + NOTES + ===== + * lxterminal and xiterm+thai are both installed + * postinst scripts on both packages set the update-alternatives priority to 20 (this cycle lxterminal was lowered to this value) + * lxterminal is installed after xiterm+thai and thus does not become the new x-terminal-emulator because of the priority being no greater + * xiterm+thai is not explicitly required by our seeds + * there is no package that xiterm+thai depends on (apt-rdepends -r), so there should be no indirect depend on it + * germinate-output, cd-build-logs don't show xiterm+thai being installed + * cd-build-image logs do show xiterm+thai being installed as a depend of apport-gtk + * apport-gtk requires x-terminal-emulator, not a specific one + * if a package satisfying a virtual package is not already installed, the selection is essentially random + + POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS + ================== + * explicity unseed xiterm+thai, which I think is more of a band-aid + * ensure that lxterminal is installed before apport-gtk, which will ideally require running germinate locally
