By default, GNOME Terminal sets those xdg-terminal-exec files regardless of whether xdg-terminal-exec is installed. It was fixed in plucky to be more careful about overwriting those files if they already exist.
Personally, I think the ideal fix before 26.04 LTS is to try to implement the gnome-control-center UI which should make it easy for people to change the default terminal to whatever they want. The x-terminal-emulator approach had some weaknesses. For instance it wasn't used to open "terminal apps" where there is a .desktop that had set Terminal=true (glib defaults to using xdg-terminal-exec to run those if it is installed or a short list of other terminals otherwise and glib is unwilling to add to that list). The "terminal apps" may not be commonly used but there are some available. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2107326 Title: Upgrade to Ubuntu 25.04 do not respect x-terminal-emulator settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-terminal-exec/+bug/2107326/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
