I run systemd if that is relevant. All commands below were run |
| 2 |
as ordinary user "gottlieb" (I know the sudo runs the stated command as |
| 3 |
root) |

On one machine (named E6430) running gnome-terminal is problematic. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
If I log via the gnome graphical login screen I cannot start a gnome |
| 8 |
terminal either by |
| 9 |
Selecting it from the favorites menu |
| 10 |
Using my own keyboard shortcut (which has worked for years) |
| 11 |
Invoking M-x shell in emacs and typing gnome-terminal |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The first two produce nothing on the screen, third produces |
| 14 |
Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 9 |

However the following both work |
| 17 |
1. in the same emacs shell as above typing sudo gnome-terminal |
| 18 |
2. from another machine where gnome-terminal works as normal |
| 19 |
ssh -Y e6430 |
| 20 |
gnome-terminal |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Any suggestions would be appreciated |
