2018-03-01 22:45:40 ԜаӀtеr Ⅼарсһуnѕkі summary Default terminal emulator is set to txiterm, which causes problems with certain characters xiterm+thai is installed and set to x-terminal-emulator
2018-03-01 23:01:13 ԜаӀtеr Ⅼарсһуnѕkі description On a clean install of Lubuntu Desktop 18.04, the default x-terminal-emulator is set to txiterm, which comes from the package xiterm+thai. With this terminal it's not possible to use characters with accents like í or Á. This is particularly troublesome when using a Brazilian Portuguese install, as the Desktop folder is called "Área de Trabalho", Music is "Música", Public is "Público" and Videos is "Vídeos". From a clean install using the terminal, it's impossible to access or use the directories "Música" or "Área de Trabalho". If another directory is created and starts with "V", then "Vídeos" become inaccessible, the same if a directory starting with "P" is created happens to Público. Lubuntu has the lxterminal terminal emulator, which does not have this problem, but the default x-terminal-emulator that is set is txiterm. If the default x-terminal-emulator was lxterminal, this would not happen. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: lubuntu-desktop 0.92 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-10.11-generic 4.15.3 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-10-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.8-0ubuntu10 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: LXDE Date: Thu Mar 1 19:15:34 2018 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-02-26 (3 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Alpha amd64 (20180226) SourcePackage: lubuntu-meta UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) STEPS TO REPRODUCE ================== 1. Install a daily version of Lubuntu Desktop Bionic or boot to the live system 2. Check for where /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator is symlinked EXPECTED RESULTS ================ /usr/bin/lxterminal ACTUAL RESULTS ============== /usr/bin/txiterm AFFECTED VERSIONS ================= * Desktop only; not Alternate * Bionic only; Artful is not affected * both amd64 and i386 NOTES ===== * lxterminal and xiterm+thai are both installed * postinst scripts on both packages set the update-alternatives priority to 20 (this cycle lxterminal was lowered to this value) * lxterminal is installed after xiterm+thai and thus does not become the new x-terminal-emulator because of the priority being no greater * xiterm+thai is not explicitly required by our seeds * there is no package that xiterm+thai depends on (apt-rdepends -r), so there should be no indirect depend on it * germinate-output, cd-build-logs don't show xiterm+thai being installed * cd-build-image logs do show xiterm+thai being installed as a depend of apport-gtk * apport-gtk requires x-terminal-emulator, not a specific one * if a package satisfying a virtual package is not already installed, the selection is essentially random POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS ================== * explicity unseed xiterm+thai, which I think is more of a band-aid * ensure that lxterminal is installed before apport-gtk, which will ideally require running germinate locally
