Profile not listed about gnome-terminal HOT 16 CLOSED

Since people seem to encounter this issue on Debian-based distributions and I just ran into this on a fresh Stretch install...
Apart from installing the various dconf-* utilities, the missing UUIDs @bdfish posted result from uuidgen not being installed. A quick apt-get -y install uuid-runtime later everything worked just fine.

debian9 with gnome 3.22.2 has the same problem

from gnome-terminal.

It seems like these distributions do not manage their dependency policy correctly. I've searched for similar issues and you may need to install the dconf-tools (Mint, Debian) package.
Maybe you should install all dconf related packages like

• dconf-gsettings-backend to ensure GSettings compatibility (Mint, Debian
• dconf-cli to ensure full CLI support (Mint, Debian)
• dconf-service to ensure D-Bus support for the GSettings backend (Mint, Debian)

Would be nice if you can test if this fix the problem since I'm running on Arch Linux running GNOME 3.24 which would distort the results. If this does not fix the problem I'll set up some VirtualBox container to investigate the cause.

After i install all of dconf-* you list, then run nord.sh, my current profile will be deleted.
then i test this https://github.com/Mayccoll/Gogh ,i have got same result.
So this issue may be caused by debian

Sorry to hear that, this should never happen! Are you sure it got deleted or is is only being hidden on the list but still available via the dconf-editor?

The Gogh project you've linked to makes use of the same script code so the script itself can still cause this issue, but the origin issue can be dconf which changed its functional behaviour or contains a bug.

I see what I can do to reproduce this.

All of themes i installed is visible in dconf-editor ，but they are hidden in gnome-terminal preferences-profiles
Here are two pictures

It seems that someone else has the same problem
Gogh-Co/Gogh#63

from gnome-terminal.

I've tried to reproduce this problem today, but when I run the script the new profile Nord is visible and works fine.
@ev-agelos Can you post which version of the GNOME terminal (GNOME version) is installed on Mint 18? I've tested it successfully for GNOME 3.20, 3.22.1 and 3.24.

@bdfish The list of profiles on your screenshot looks strange, all profiles should have UUIDs as name and the Nord theme generates one too, normally it should not be called :nord.
Can you please

1. create a backup of your used profiles
2. delete all profiles
3. install the Nord theme via the nord.sh script
4. check if the new created profile name is a random UUID

Maybe Mint 18 changed one of the packages the script depends on like the random UUID generator.

@arcticicestudio I have gnome 3.18.3, i guess in the next versions it will work out of the box. I managed to copy-paste manually the nord color values etc so I found a workaround.

from gnome-terminal.

I did what you say,but the result is same, i delete some component of system,maybe issue caused by this, .And @ev-agelos 's solution is easy and useful,i have given up using nord.sh.

I'll close this issue for now. I've tried to reproduce this using GNOME Terminal version 3.24.2 and it works fine. It seems like the issue is related to any distribution dependency problems.

from gnome-terminal.

@azmodude Thanks for the info, I'll add a note to the documentation that (next to dconf-tools) the uuid-runtime package must be installed before running the script.

from gnome-terminal.

@arcticicestudio You're welcome. Thanks for your great colorscheme(s)!

The requirements are now documented in #11.

from gnome-terminal.

Related to #12

from gnome-terminal.

The PR #14 includes the fix for this problem. It should now work on all distributions when the basic dependencies are installed. The legacy support for GNOME Terminal versions < 3.8 has been removed since the gconf long-time support for in most distributions will end this year anyway, next to the fact that there are no distributions that ship with GNOME < 3.8.

The compatibility with dconf has been improved by using the high-level API of GSettings instead.

It be nice for some feedback so this can be merged as soon as possible.
