I just tried switching from xfce4-terminal to gnome-terminal, only to discover that new tabs spawned via Ctrl+Shift+T (or File->New Tab) in the latter fail to inherit my session's $SSH_AUTH_SOCK or $SSH_AGENT_PID.
The second-best workaround is indeed to only spawn new tabs via "gnome- terminal --tab", but that's a bit unwieldy and it's not quite the same (the new tab inherits the environment of the shell running that command, which may have changed from the session environment), so I'm afraid the best workaround was to switch back to xfce4-terminal... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1058515 Title: inheriting environmental variables when creating new terminal window or tab To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1058515/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
