Public bug reported: [Impact]
If you launch gnome-terminal by right clicking a directory in Nautilus, selecting "Open in Terminal", you get a fully functional terminal window. If you then press the new tab button, or ctrl-shift-t to open a new terminal tab, you will find that most environment variables have become unset, and you see the text: To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo <command>". See "man sudo_root" for details. Comparing printenv between: Normal terminal: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/2hcCY9hbHQ/ Broken new terminal tab: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zYsjRHVJH7/ Most commands won't run in the new terminal tab, due to $HOME and $USER not being set. Note, if you launch gnome-terminal from gnome-shell or the dock, and create a new tab, everything works perfectly. Is something wrong with the Nautilus option for "Open in Terminal"? ** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu Hirsute) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: hirsute ** Also affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu Hirsute) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags added: hirsute -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1922839 Title: Opening new tab in gnome-terminal launched from nautilus loses most environment variables Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Status in gnome-terminal source package in Hirsute: New Bug description: [Impact] If you launch gnome-terminal by right clicking a directory in Nautilus, selecting "Open in Terminal", you get a fully functional terminal window.
