Custom session does not work

[mldm9]

Hi all,

I am on RHEL9 and use Gnome as desktop environment.

I am not able to create custom sessions with some applications. For instance, if I set terminator as a custom command, it works great. However, with gnome-terminal, it does not work. The window just does not appear and the custom session disconnect like 20/30 seconds after.

I read all the settings and could not get why this happens.

Thank you for your help.

Hi, we are investigating a similar issue, and there is a workaround which you can try. Please check the Trouble Report for details and let us know.

Thank you Britgirl. I eventually found a solution and it seems that its the same as you.

I installed first dbus-launch (dnf install dbus-x11) but it did not work.
Then I ran dbus-update-activation-environment –all and it still did not work.

I rebooted the server and it then functioned perfectly. I am almost sure it works because of the dbus-x11 install, but at least people can try the second command.
