 Posted: Fri Mar 31, 2006 6:24 am Post subject: Terminals won't open[SOLVED] |
 |
|
I recently upgraded to Gnome 2.14 and since then I can't open any terminals that I have tried. I tried to open gnome-terminal, xterm, and tilda. Each of them show up in the panel for a couple of seconds and then disappear and nothings opens. Virtual terminals still work. Does anybody have any ideas how to fix so I can open a terminal. Thanks.

| Might try a revdep-rebuild just in case something broke. |

I just upgraded to gnome 2.14 and gnome-terminal worked.
Then I updated to the latest nvidia-glx and it wouldn't start.
I'm using xterm atm, open up a virtual console (and type DISPLAY=":0" xterm) then switch back to your xsession
From there type gnome-terminal and it will a cry about loading a shared library that doesn't exist. I'm looking into it now, revdep-rebuilding doesn't help in this case |

| I get the same problem now. When I try to run gnome-terminal from xterm is says that it is missing or can't open libGLcore.so. I have been looking and haven't been able to find a fix, any help would be great thanks. |

I think I have just found the issue. I was having the same and when checking, the nvidia opengl interface did not seem to have been selected during the update to the latest drivers. Try running:
| Code: | | # eselect opengl list |
Mine returned with:
| Code: | Available OpenGL implementations:
[1] nvidia
[2] xorg-x11 * |
Which showed the xorg-x11 selected. With a change to the nvidia drivers:
| Code: | # eselect opengl set nvidia
Switching to nvidia OpenGL interface... done |
my gnome-terminal seems to be now working fine! |

| yeh that fixed it. I never ran it because I assumed it was set like this during the nvidia-glx installation |

I have this issue.. gnome-terminal appears to have been built against nvidia's 3D libraries, and so it doesn't work on my ATI system.
I have switched to eselect opengl set xorg-x11 and rebuilt, overwritten the binary but it still wants nvidia libs..
Any ideas??
Cheers,
Chris
