Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 777292] Re: Gedit not single instance when started from unity

[Christoph Korn]

This is the only output regarding DBUS:
$ strings /proc/5548/environ | grep DBUS
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-PwOQj2JfC6,guid=d834a9413e99331586702132007d

I start gedit from nautilus by just opening a text file.

[Sebastien Bacher]

see bug #827414 as well which was the original bug, could those having the 
issue start nautilus from nautilus and run
"strings /proc/$(pidof gedit)/environ | grep DBUS"

does it list a DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS? how do you start nautilus and how
do you start gedit from nautilus?

No, not at all! :P

I've tried selecting 2d and/ or 3d a couple of times but didn't notice any
difference at all. So perhaps when I choose 3d it reverts to 2d anyway
because my computer doesn't support 3d or something?

Well, we've gone off topic (sorry everyone), but AFAIK e.g. KDE (and I
assume Kubuntu?) doesn't use nautilus as it's file manager.

I think I've already done so above, but:

1. I click on gedit icon in unity, an instance opens
2. I double click on a text file in nautilus, another instance opens.

Thanks,

Josef.

1. Open any text document with nautilus in gedit.
2. Open any text document with a terminal "gedit test.txt"

The second step opens a new instance here.

At least this is how I can reproduce this.

unity-3d

But I'm going to give Kubuntu and Linux Mint a try, because even though I
quite like unity this and other basic usability and functionality problems
(e.g. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=661837
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/922095 ) are beginning
to really annoy me :(

I can confirm that this is not fixed.
Fully up to date oneiric.

1)Open gedit with unity
2)Open terminal and run "gedit somefile"
3)See how a second instance of gedit is started.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 777292] Re: Gedit not single instance when started from unity

[jdaviescoates]

I've just upgraded to 11.10 and this issue has not been fixed.

It is very easy to replicate:

1. Open geedit from Unity
2. Open a text file by double clicking on it in file manager
3. Note that the text file has not opened in the gedit instance opened from 
Unity.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 777292] Re: Gedit not single instance when started from unity

[Christoph Korn]

I tried to debug it a bit.
First I noticed that this opens a new tab.
1) run gedit from dash 2) run "gedit" in Terminal
While this opens a new process:
1) run gedit from dash 2) run "gedit file" in Terminal

I have debugged gedit a bit while the instance opened from dash was running:
$ GEDIT_DEBUG="" gedit gedit-3.2.0/gedit/gedit.c 
[0.17 (0.17)] gedit.c:235 (main) Startup
[0,047591 (0,047574)] gedit-dbus.c:1651 (gedit_dbus_run)

[0,060512 (0,000101)] gedit-dbus.c:724 (handle_slave)

So it is doing some dbus start which seems to be the problem.

It is starting the dbus main loop here:

Ok, so most agree that this is a bug.

But how can we help fixing this?
I think the bug was introduced with 11.04. Can we run a regression test somehow?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 777292] Re: Gedit not single instance when started from unity

[jdaviescoates]

I also find it to be very annoying that a new instance of gedit is
opened whenever I open another file by double clicking or right clicking
on it. I want all text files to open in the same instance.

Clearly some people an instance per file though eg.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=845906 although as someone
pointed out above you can do that by right-clicking on the tab within an
existing option.

The obvious solution is for there to be a simple configurable option:
open all text files in one instance yes/ no.

  Normally, gedit is a single instance application, meaning that it is
  started only once, and subsequent invocations are merged into the
  already running instance.

  When starting gedit from unity (either via dash, or via Alt+F2) and
  later from somewhere else (I tested opening a file in nautilus,
  opening a file from the archive manager, and running from the command
  line), gedit is started a second time.

er that should've been "some people *prefer* an instance per file" and
"you can do that by right-clicking on the tab within an existing
*instance*".

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 777292] Re: Gedit not single instance when started from unity

[Premasagar Rose]

I agree with Matt Moen about bumping up the priority. For me, it creates
a very confusing, frustrating workflow when using Ubuntu. I use Gedit
probably more than any other application, and trying to edit files in
one place is impossible when the terminal opens files in one Gedit
instance, Nautilus opens them in another, and Startup Applications opens
them in yet another.
