#19686: gnome-terminal fails to start -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: thecolourblue@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: gnome-terminal -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by devans@…): Quick fix committed in r51139. As expected the problem wasn't with gconf or actually connecting to it but with a precheck gnome-terminal makes to see if gconfd is available which always fails. Comment this check out for now and it seems to work. For instance, I changed the profile settings to put the scroll bars on the left instead of on the right and then stopped and restarted the app. Scroll bars still on the left so gconf correctly saved and restored these preferences. Let me know if this works for you as well. I know this is quick and dirty but the code describes what they were doing as an evil hack so I guess everything is even. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19686#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
