This continues to not work for me, and I believe my system is up-to-date Rawhide/koji. Here is the top of the stack trace I get when running 'gdb gnome-terminal': ERROR:terminal-app.c:1449:terminal_app_init: assertion failed: (app->default_profile_id != NULL) Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0x0000003fe7436305 in __GI_raise (sig=6) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:64 64 return INLINE_SYSCALL (tgkill, 3, pid, selftid, sig); (gdb) bt full #0 0x0000003fe7436305 in __GI_raise (sig=6) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:64 resultvar = 0 pid = <optimized out> selftid = <optimized out> #1 0x0000003fe7437c1b in __GI_abort () at abort.c:93 save_stage = 2 act = {__sigaction_handler = {sa_handler = 0, sa_sigaction = 0}, sa_mask = {__val = {140737327208466, 274462698488, 140737326809088, 2048, 4294967296, 7476512, 7476512, 4294967295, 7722912, 7755792, 7755792, 3239992, 0, 0, 7555584, 140737326817280}}, sa_flags = -419372892, sa_restorer = 0x7fff00000005} sigs = {__val = {32, 0 <repeats 15 times>}} #2 0x00007ffff665964d in g_assertion_message (domain=<optimized out>, file=<optimized out>, line=<optimized out>, func=0x438390 "terminal_app_init", message= 0x75bf00 "assertion failed: (app->default_profile_id != NULL)") at gtestutils.c:1425 lstr = "1449\000\177\000\000\060\327\377\377\377\177\000\000\220\200C\000\000\000\000\000\370\200C\000\000\000\000" s = 0x765810 "" #3 0x00007ffff6659b72 in g_assertion_message_expr (domain=0x0, file=0x437c3a "terminal-app.c", line=1449, func= 0x438390 "terminal_app_init", expr=<optimized out>) at gtestutils.c:1436 s = <optimized out> #4 0x0000000000417e1c in terminal_app_init (app=0x729070 [TerminalApp]) at terminal-app.c:1449 error = 0x0 The complete typescript of the gdb run is attached to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=720119
I am seeing the same thing. There has not been a new gnome-terminal built since April. What am I missing?
> gconftool-2 -g /apps/gnome-terminal/global/default_profile No value set for `/apps/gnome-terminal/global/default_profile'
Yeah, me too: [tbl@tlondon ~]$ gconftool-2 -g /apps/gnome-terminal/global/default_profile No value set for `/apps/gnome-terminal/global/default_profile' [tbl@tlondon ~]$
OK, I think I figured out how to dig out of this hole.... Appears that the expected [gd]conf settings 'sort of changed'. I did the following: 1. cd ~/.gconf/apps 2. mv gnome-terminal gnome-terminal.save 3. logout 4. log back in gnome-terminal now starts for me. And, [tbl@tlondon apps]$ gconftool-2 -g /apps/gnome-terminal/global/default_profile Default [tbl@tlondon apps]$ Joy and bliss.....
