Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated gnome-terminal package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Description
gnome-terminal is the GNOME terminal-emulator application.
This updated package fixes the following bugs:
- the "gnome-terminal --full-screen" command did not work reliably.
Sometimes gnome-terminal opened in full-screen mode, other times it did
not. In this updated package, "gnome-terminal --full-screen" works
reliably.
- when a URL was configured for "Automatic proxy configuration" in
"gnome-network-preferences", the "http_proxy" variable in gnome-terminal
was incorrectly set to "http://8080" (see by running the "echo $http_proxy"
command). This may have caused connection problems for command line
applications, such as "wget". In this updated package, when automatic
proxy configuration is configured in "gnome-network-preferences", the
"http_proxy" variable is not set, which resolves this issue.
Users of gnome-terminal are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which resolves these issues.
