[tribe 5] any time I open a document in gedit (from the shell) I get /usr/bin/esd: not found

[Christer Edwards]

Binary package hint: gedit

For any document I open with gedit from the shell I get the error:

/bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: not found

gedit functions properly once launched from what I can tell, but that error is displayed on the shell from the time of launch.
GNOME gedit 2.19.90
2.6.22-10-generic

Thank you for your bug. That's not really an error, rather an indication of libgnome that esd is not used, why do you think that's an issue?

I get this too from all gnome programs.

If not using esd is the intended behaviour for gnome in gutsy, then why is it producing warnings?

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

This actually comes from the esd client lib.

    a shell and trying to execute it. This both improves startup time and also
    avoids the "/bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: not found" warning. (LP: #134641)

I haven't looked at the source at all, but this makes me wonder if it
should ever be invoking through the shell, rather than executing it
directly. Just a random thought.
