[Lubuntu-admins] [Bug 1752733] Re: xiterm+thai is installed and set to x-terminal-emulator
** Description changed:
- 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.
+ 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
- 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.
+ EXPECTED RESULTS
+ ================
+ /usr/bin/lxterminal
- 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.
+ ACTUAL RESULTS
+ ==============
+ /usr/bin/txiterm
- 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)
+ 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
