** Description changed: - Under GNOME/Wayland, regardless of cursor theme (I'm using 'DMZ-White', - but confirmed with 'Adwaita'), whenever the terminal obtains focus and - the user starts entering input, gnome-terminal will generate two log - entries: + Impact + ====== + The systemd journal gets full of useless messages about "Unable to load blank_cursor from the cursor theme" when using GNOME Terminal in Wayland on Ubuntu 17.10. Ubuntu 17.10 uses Wayland by default when the hardware supports it. + + Test Case + ========= + 1.Install the gtk3 updates to Ubuntu 17.10. + 2. Log out then log into "Ubuntu" or "GNOME" on a computer that supports Wayland. + 3. Open the default terminal app. + 4. Verify that you are running Wayland by running this command. If there is output, you are running Wayland. + + env | grep -i wayland + + 5. Run this command to check for the useless messages from gnome- + terminal: + + journalctl -f + + Regression Potential + =================== + This fix is part of the gtk3 3.22.25 update (LP: #1728421) and seems unlikely to cause problems. + + https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?h=gtk-3-22&id=fc741adbb + + Original Bug Report + =================== + Under GNOME/Wayland, regardless of cursor theme (I'm using 'DMZ-White', but confirmed with 'Adwaita'), whenever the terminal obtains focus and the user starts entering input, gnome-terminal will generate two log entries: Apr 11 13:39:22 localhost gnome-terminal-[28979]: Unable to load blank_cursor from the cursor theme Apr 11 13:39:22 localhost gnome-terminal-[28979]: Unable to load blank_cursor from the cursor theme This seems to be: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1417490 and related to: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=775217 (though in Ubuntu 17.04 the log doesn't contain 'gdkcursor- wayland.c:170' like in the gnome bug.
