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 |
