> This affects release: Vivid Vervet How exactly does it effect it?
$COLORTERM was dropped for a good reason; appart from the links you posted the best explanation is probably at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733423. $COLORTERM should not be necessary ever. Instead of bringing it back, the distro should rather fix whoever relies on this to use better methods (e.g. xtermcontrol or equivalent; or $VTE_VERSION) instead. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #733423 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733423 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1429584 Title: gnome-terminal doesn't set $COLORTERM from 3.14 onwards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1429584/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
