** Description changed: - Hi guys. I don't think this bug is directly gnome-shell related, but I - have no clue how to report this bug to launchpad the other way. + [ Impact ] - I use non default terminal emulator (it's ghostty, but doesn't matter). + In previous Ubuntu versions I just set x-terminal-emulator alternative to ghostty, and Gnome correctly launched the configured terminal with default shortcut of Ctrl+Alt+T. + After upgrading the system to a 25.04, Gnome 48 seems to ignore this setting, and launches default Gnome Terminal when shortcut is pressed. - In previous Ubuntu versions I just set x-terminal-emulator alternative - to ghostty, and Gnome correctly launched the one I needed with default - shortcut of Ctrl+Alt+t. + That happens because Ubuntu Desktop 25.04 now uses `xdg-terminal-exec` + to configure the user's default terminal application, which is an + improvement over the previous `x-terminal-emulator` way (see the MIR bug + 2069308) - But after I upgraded my system to a 25.04 beta, Gnome 48 seems to ignore - this setting, and launches default Gnome Terminal when shortcut is - pressed. I suppose it's a bug, so would be nice if someone fixed it. + The user configuration is not migrated from x-terminal-emulator to xdg- + terminal-exec, so the user finds their default terminal reset to the + default GNOME Terminal. + + + [ Test Plan ] + + 1. Install Ubuntu Desktop 24.10 or prior + 2. Change the default terminal through x-terminal-emulator + 3. Ensure that Ctrl+Alt+T launches the configured terminal application + 4. Upgrade to Ubuntu 25.04 + 5. Install the xdg-terminal-exec update + 5. Verify that Ctrl+Alt+T launches the same terminal application + + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + This is implemented as a session-migration script. + The script is implemented with a defensive programming approach so that the xdg-terminal-exec configuration is written if and only if the user had previously changed the x-terminal-emulator config and did not already change the xdg-terminal-exec config. + + Due to an issue with GNOME Terminal being too excited about setting + itself as the default xdg-terminal-exec even before xdg-terminal-exec + was used for launching the terminal in Ubuntu, the configuration will + only be applied if both /usr/bin and $HOME live in filesystems which + support the file creation timestamp (not necessarily the same one). + + + [ Other info ] ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 25.04 Package: gnome-shell 48.0-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 6.14.0-15.15-generic 6.14.0 Uname: Linux 6.14.0-15-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs ApportVersion: 2.32.0-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Mon Apr 14 13:46:12 2025 DisplayManager: gdm3 InstallationDate: Installed on 2022-04-28 (1082 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS "Jammy Jellyfish" - Release amd64 (20220419) RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 48.1-1ubuntu3 SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to plucky on 2025-04-11 (3 days ago)
