Do'nt understand that, opening a terminal from within nautilus?
But OK, I do understand that the real problem must be some bug in the
gconf deamon so
I did some brief look, and discovered a workaround, or maybe even a fix:
The message you see comes from gnome-terminal, but it can work fine
without gconf, or maybe check for it is broken:
in terminal.c:
/* If the gconf daemon isn't available (e.g. because there's no dbus

@Jim, this isn't what makes it fail.
The problem is that if I launch nautilus as root, I can't open terminal from
it.
I strongly suspect this bug prevents above from working

Copy of my posting in "Bug #326158 in Ubuntu:
As far as I 'm concerned it's not a big issue, a (temporary?) solution
is simple. Add a starter to the taskbar (or your menu) with:
gnome-terminal -e "sudo -i"
and the terminal starts immediately asking for your password.
gnome-settings-daemon doesn't help:
I do:
# sudo -i
$ gnome-settings-daemon &
$ gnome-terminal
and it still fails with same message
It did work fine in 8.10
Now I can't open it nether from root nautilus or from remote share
and can't open like I said above

Thanks to everyone for confirming that this happens under normal
circumstances. No further confirmation is required. Just subscribe to

Hello Folks,
I just encountered this problem during LiveCD Building with Ubuntu
Customization Kit. I used Xubuntu CD image as base so far, always worked well -
now with 9.04 rc / Ubuntu Edition this problem comes when selecting 'run
console'. If unsolved, LiveCD building with UCK is jeopardized,
Can put somebody this bug as medium-importance? It's a very nerving bug!
Thx

forgot to say that this is maybe not gconf2's bug, but rather a bug in
things that use it. (esp. if the fix is a more useful error message.)

I noticed this problem because my .fluxbox/startup wasn't starting my
gnome-terminal anymore. (that's a shell script run by startfluxbox that
runs some X clients then execs /usr/bin/fluxbox. I put some of my
startup stuff in it.)
If I run
/usr/bin/gnome-settings-daemon &
before gnome-terminal,
I confirm this bug with todays updates. It affects probably most of
other GNOME programs. I tried epiphany, gnome-terminal, and update-
manager and all of them fail, which makes them unusable over ssh. Is
there some way to start the gconf manually?

Have this issue also - anyone has an idea how to resolve it? Obviously
gnome-terminal needs "something" from gconf, or expects it to run (in a
special manner perhaps?)...hmm
