#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@…): gnome-terminal updated to 2.26.2 in r51136. This doesn't make it work any better but might as well be working with the latest code. an experiment: if I launch gconf-editor, then gconfd is launched and stays running as long as gconf-editor is open. {{{ devans% ps ax | grep gconf 5977 ?? S 0:00.71 /opt/local/libexec/gconfd-2 5974 p5 S+ 0:03.02 gconf-editor }}} Even so, when gnome-terminal is launched in addition, it still behaves the same {{{ devans% gnome-terminal Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting. }}} So its not because gconfd isn't running apparently. Will look at it more in the morning. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19686#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
