Terminal doesn't work properly
Hello,
I recently installed Linux Mint 8 (main) on my P.C.. When I select the main menu and activate the Terminal, all that comes up is a blank white window--The same thing happens when I try to run Software Manager or Synaptic. Could you please instruct me how to fix this problem. Thank you for your help, Jaguar jaguar Level 1 Posts: 1 Joined: Fri May 07, 2010 8:06 pm |

Please describe the screen that you get after booting up.
Can you run any of the applications in the menus? |

Can you post a screenshot? |
It would also be helpful to us if you would post your machine's hardware specs.
Just go to a virtual terminal (i.e. Ctrl-Alt-Fx where x is 1-6), type "lspci" and post the results here. If they go off the screen, then use Shift+PgUp/Dn to scroll the display. Also, do you have any other graphical problems? Is the window completely white, or can you see a menu bar/title bar/frames/etc.? As mentioned above, it would be nice if you posted a screenshot of this. |
