Description of problem: If you have a system-wide proxy, mate-terminal crashes when it is launched. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mate-terminal-1.5.1-1.fc18.x86_64 mate-desktop-1.5.8-1.fc18.x86_64 Also has been confirmed to affect Mate Desktop 1.5.7 (Fedora 18) and Mate Desktop 1.5.8 (Fedora 18) on both x86_64 and i686. How reproducible: 100% reproducible Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to System >> Preferences >> Network Proxy and set a system-wide HTTP proxy 2. Launch mate-terminal 3. Observe that it crashes immediately upon launch Additional info: This bug was originally reported on February 5th through abrt in bug #907747. However, that bug entry was incorrectly closed as "cannot repro". Now many others are reporting and confirming the same bug, but abrt is sending their reports to the closed bug #907747, which no one appears to be monitoring, and none of us have the permissions to re-open that bug. Therefore, I am opening this new bug entry so someone will notice. For detailed information, including clean backtraces (with debugging symbols enabled) and multiple people demonstrating that they can repro the bug, see bug #907747. PLEASE DO NOT CLOSE THIS BUG AS A DUPLICATE UNLESS YOU ALSO RE-OPEN BUG #907747
I can confirm that mate-terminal use gesttings keys from gnome. [rave@mother github-matedesktop]$ grep -r -i "org.gnome.system.proxy.http" mate-terminal/ mate-terminal/src/terminal-util.h:#define CONF_HTTP_PROXY_SCHEMA "org.gnome.system.proxy.http" mate-terminal/src/terminal-util.h:#define CONF_HTTPS_PROXY_SCHEMA "org.gnome.system.proxy.https" org.gnome.system.proxy.http is part of org.gnome.system.proxy.gschema.xml. But grep -i "use-http-proxy" org.gnome.system.proxy.gschema.xml gives me no output, seems that the key use-http-proxy is removed. A this point i'm still wondering why all former system network mate-conf keys from obsolete mat-vfs weren't moved to mate-desktop, and mate use stuff from gnome. On a system whithout gnome installed will this cause the issue. For me this is an upstream bug and i recommend to reopen BUG #907747
This is already fixed upstream: http://git.mate-desktop.org/mate-terminal/commit/?id=14885e3eee9f3b7b6611e50ef92a87a7e36f469a
Wolgang, now MATE uses same GNOME proxy settings to have a better proxy support from all applications. Example: https://code.google.com/p/libproxy/issues/detail?id=186
