I just checked a laptop that also has ubuntu 6.06 installed, and gnome-terminal seems to work fine on that machine. I installed ubuntu on my laptop first as a test and then on my desktop system, using the same disks that I picked up at Linux World on both systems. Curiously, I rebooted a few minutes ago just before reading your email and the problem went away. This did not work yesterday, even after repeated tries. There may be a bug in gnome-terminal that is triggered only under some currently unknown circumstances that causes gnome-terminal to be unable to copy text. Since one gnome-terminal process seems to handle multiple terminal windows, it is possible that some sort or race condition triggers the problem, making it very difficult to reproduce. If it occurs again, I'll try to note what I did before the problem showed up. One thing unusual that I had to do yesterday was to reset the date (the day, actually). While installing, I screwed up and initially had it 3 days in the future. I saw the problem with gnome-terminal after I reset the date to the correct value. This doesn't sound like something that should be relevant to a terminal (although the date change did confuse sudo), but it is the only thing I did that was out of the ordinary. -- Bill PS I won't have access to a computer for the next few days, so if I don't respond immediately to any email that is the reason. Thanks for contacting me. -- Copy operation fails https://launchpad.net/bugs/65602 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
