I use Ubuntu GNU/Linux for several years and this bug, or whatever you call it, never goes away. This is really annoying and sad. After upgrading from 9.10 to 10.4 the blinking cursor in gnome-terminal is back! /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/cursor_blink_mode OFF /desktop/gnome/interface/cursor_blink NOT ENABLED /desktop/gnome/interface/cursor_blink_time 0 the other options I found with searching for "blink" in gconf-editor are set to <schema>
this is sooooo frustrating to change this setting over and over again after each upgrade of Ubuntu. the upgrade itselfs takes less time than searching the internet for a solution to this! As for me this bug is not fixed! Why was the setting ever removed from gnome-terminal? The developer(s) how did this should be punished with a HUGE BLINKING BLOCK CURSOR!!! knoe...@section60:~/Documents$ aptitude show gnome | grep -i version Version: 1:2.28+1ubuntu3 knoe...@section60:~/Documents$ uname -a Linux section60 2.6.32-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 28 13:28:05 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux knoe...@section60:~/Documents$ cat /etc/*release* DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=lucid DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.04 LTS" knoe...@section60:~/Documents$ gnome-about shows 2.30.0 (build date 03/31/2010) at least, there is xterm really sad all this!
