I'm having this gconf error from a regular account. I use fluxbox. Here's the command throwing the error.
x-terminal-emulator -T "Bash" -e /bin/bash --login This issue seems to resolve itself after some usage. I suspect gphpedit fires up the gonf daemon properly. I like to fire up my terminals immediately after login though, and dropping to a text terminal (ctrl- alt-F1) to fire up a terminal is really annoying. I'm not knowledgeable about EUIDs or some of the other crazy stuff above, but I think they are related to the root user, which is not what I'm trying to use. I just want to open a terminal! And I'd rather not change the terminal I'm used to. The main purpose of this message is to point out that this is NOT just a su issue. -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
