[Bug 827414] Re: gedit fails to start on first try, but does on the second

2012-02-17 Thread Erik Reuter
I got tired of waiting for this to be fixed, so I implemented a workaround. I moved the gedit binary to gedit.bin, then I created a shell-script named gedit that calls gedit.bin with the --standalone option: % mv /usr/bin/gedit /usr/bin/gedit.bin % vi /usr/bin/gedit #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/gedit.bin

This bug bit me also. I had a line in /etc/fstab for an iscsi volume that was not available at boot time, and the system just hangs during boot. Workaround was to put the noauto option on the volume in /etc/fstab. But I think this is a serious bug. I suspect most Ubuntu users would be very
