[Bug 311237] Re: gedit fails to run as root in jaunty

Actually, I was changing the /etc/hosts file for apache server configuration and accidentally removed "127.0.0.1 localhost" line from that. and the above mentioned programs stopped functioning. I still don't know why only the programs started as root were affected. So you should check your /etc/

Hi there MridKash, can you please tell me how you did it and how you fixed it (remove localhosts from hosts)? Maybe I can verify that and then we can close this bug down. Otherwise it is a different bug you experienced or not a bug as you say ... Thanks for that, it would help. (Some terminal ou

Hi there, The problem here was that I had only 1 root gnome-terminal and 1 user gnome-terminal available. I could obviously try and repeat this exact same process from a live cd and open up sever terminals previous to any sort of crash. I have altered the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as described: http

Hi, no crash of the gdm gdb session occurs this way, I will try instead to run gedit under gdb and see if this changes anything. Probably not, as there is no pipe between the two different settings and I cannot open a new xterm or gnome-terminal unfortunately. Below is the terminal output after ,
