[SOLVED] Terminal and gnome-terminal crashing X in Xfce
Whenever I try and execute either Terminal or gnome-terminal in Xfce, X crashes and returns me to the GDM login screen.
xterm executes and runs just fine. here are the errors I get: Code:
Dec 11 16:42:06 gconfd (warren-7273): starting (version 2.20.1), pid 7273 user 'warren' I tried reinstalling GDM via pacman, didn't help. Any ideas? |
hi there,
what happens if you clean your $HOME/.g* files? regards, slackie1000 |
I renamed the .gconf and .gconfd directories .gconf.old and .gconfd.old respectively, same problem.
None of the other ".g" directories/files in my home folder seemed related (.gimp, .gftp, etc..) to the issue... |
Problem resolved!
Turns out there is a bug in Xorg that affects certain graphic chipsets in Xfce. http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3130 The only workaround at present seems to be to drop the default color depth from 24 bit to 16 bit in xorg.conf . After changing to 16 bit color, both Terminal and gnome-terminal work just fine... |
