[Linux] Check/Repair Filesystem not working with gnome-terminal #1421
Comments
This is just a generic error caused by the attempt to launch gnome-terminal with elevated privileges. Running GUI programs as sudo is not ideal but it works on most systems but there seems to be some new changes that makes it not work anymore. You can get the same error by just running Meanwhile as a workaround you can manually:

Hi Jertzukka, thx for responding. Do you mean
in sudo, gnome-terminal or VeraCrypt? Btw.:
Yeah, that's a little understatement. One of the first things I learned, when switching to Linux was: Don't use sudo for graphical programs. |
Something to do with gnome-terminal, seems to work fine on other terminal emulators such as Konsole on my Arch KDE VM. |
Seems this issue was already addressed (but not solved): |
I tested the newest Ubuntu 24.10 which also comes with the GNOME 47 and the same version of gnome-terminal and VTE library that the Arch install uses, and it works fine on it. So it is something else that's different on the Arch install that causes it. But anyhow, there definitely should be a better way to do it, I can take a look at some point. Adding support for more terminal emulators isn't difficult, but one needs to go through all the specific options for each as they're different on almost all of them. |
Trying to check or repair a filesystem of a mounted volume is resulting in an error message (see screenshot). If the corresponding dbus-launch command is entered manually in a terminal, I get the following output:
Just checked. It makes no difference, if you're using X11 or Wayland.
Expected behavior
Checking/Repairing Filesystem should work.
