[arch-general] Gotta be a stupid gnome-terminal problem
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, All other terminal emulators work. I have checked--thanks to what little I found on the web that seemed apropos--to be sure that /dev/pts is mounted (it is). But when I run gnome-terminal, I get no prompt and typing in commands does not work. This is a brand new installation, so I can't say it worked before some change. All I know is it doesn't work. What did I miss?

You can see if anything is running under the terminal with ps -AHf when gnome-terminal is running. Check the preferences under the "Title and Command" tab to make sure you haven't overridden your shell. You can try hard-coding your shell there to see if that does anything.

That's an interesting trick. It yields: benfell 5248 471 0 18:11 ? 00:00:00 gnome-terminal benfell 5253 5248 0 18:11 ? 00:00:00 gnome-pty-helper benfell 5254 5248 0 18:11 pts/2 00:00:00 /bin/zsh I had already checked the preferences and hard-coded the shell. And this says it's running. So why don't I see it?

Sorry, I don't have definitive answer. You can check ~/.xession-errors and $ journalctl -bp warning for clues. (If you use GDM .xsession-errors might have been moved recently.

I only have a ~/.xsession, not .xsession-errors. journalctl -bp requires an argument for the p option; I didn't know what to give it, so I just said journalctl -b, searched for 'gnome-terminal', 'gnome', and 'terminal', and basically came up empty. I'm guessing *this*, the only result I found, is not relevant: Mar 02 08:30:20 graton2 gnome-session[330]: WARNING: Detected that screensaver has left the bus Mar 02 08:30:20 graton2 gnome-session[330]: CRITICAL: gsm_manager_set_phase: assertion `GSM_IS_MANAGER (manager)' failed Thanks anyway!
