I found the workaround in #7 helpful, but it had two problems, one major, one minor: It doesn't dissociate vim from the terminal, so if you close the terminal window vim gets abruptly terminated too; also, vim spits out quite a few GTK warnings on the console, which I'd rather not see. Here's what I'm using now:
function gvim { /usr/bin/gvim -f $* > /dev/null 2> /dev/null & disown } I tried nohup to begin with, but it didn't seem to help. The process was still killed by a sighup when the terminal closed. The redirect and disown seems to work better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776499 Title: gvim gets no global menu, timeout warning on the console To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/776499/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
