![]() ![]() We're you doing much in the terminal prior to this. What else might be wrong within Linux if this is happening or not solved? What will I deal with in a month when I need Linux to boot and work? Isn't the included Terminal an important part of the Linux Distro's code? It is important to make sure it works and updates properly even if I use another Terminal or emulator. There is only one alternative in link group x-terminal-emulator (providing /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator): usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper Nothing to configure. should be on tty7 ( So Control + Alt + F7) and/or reboot or whatever. Log out of tty2 with "exit" switch back to X. Perhaps try choosing it as default or another you have installed and prefer and hopefully your launcher, menu entries etc start working again. Then check which is set to default emulator with "sudo update-alternatives -config x-terminal-emulator" If the one which came default terminal isn't the one it originally came with. ie: Press Control + Alt + F2 to get to tty2 then run something like "dpkg -l |grep terminal" to get a list of which terminals you even have installed. Original problem OP, would drop into another tty and figure out what's going on logged in there. ![]() On my OS's and system, less concerned but if I take xyz-files on a thumb drive, plug it into my friends system and get their box crawling with trojans, rootkits and an army of any other viri ? Everyone see's how nice a situation that would be. So as a result I don't really worry about this issue too much. So went exclusively gnu/Linux, think it's actually going on 8-9months now. Just one of them possibly having their computer infected or infested with tech-nasties. Got burnt out on any of the GAZILLION problems/limitations window$ users might have to deal with, gnu/Linux users don't. Nopers an installed anti-vir should not kill off your terminal emulator(s.) Like others have mentioned including some more information would help people, help you. ![]() nope still don't think it's a bad idea to utilize some precautions on gnu/Linux too. carry around on a usb stick to plug into other computers etc etc. Now if you have a window$ OS and it's stocked full of all such security programs running and updated at all times and you painstakingly scan and check every file you share, upload. If only as a better safe than sorry measure and in being considerate to window$ users thing. So have come to conclude it's not all that bad an idea to go ahead and install/use one of the many available options for this on gnu/Linux. Linux Mint etc etc are immune to the affect of majority of window$ nasties, many nixers dual-boot and share data with M$ operating systems on their pc's and/or share files with others (friends/family etc) who primarily use the window$ OS as their platform. ^ -1 on don't bother with anti-vir on Nix and no offense but lately it's been grating on nerves hearing so many say that.
