Helo!

Basically the title says it all. When i open a shell console, before the console appears, another one pops up, and that other dosen't have a prompt... it's just an "empty" console. It is not holding me back from anything, it is just annoying.
What can be done about this?

Edit: this thing only happens on one user account (there are two: one is my everyday account, and one is the "admin". The thing happens on my everyday account).

What 'shell console' and how do you 'open' it? I can reproduce the behavior by doing 'mrxvt -e mrxvt' which leads me to think you're doing something similar - perhaps telling a DE to run your terminal emulator 'in a terminal' or having a weird alias in your shell configuration or something like.

KDE menu / Run command / "konsole"

Okay, well I'm still figuring konsole has been told to run itself in a konsole. If that's not it, what does menu>system>konsole (or however it goes) do? What does that menu entry say? Maybe try poking around in the *desktop files directly or adding a konsole button to a panel or launching konsole from (not in ) konsole. Etc.

When i go to System menu, then System, "Konsole terminal program", then only one console appears.
What the.. ?

Aaah Ha! This maybe explains it. Perhaps the K-menu is opening a terminal to "Run Command". The command is konsole, so it runs it, but you now have two. Try "Run command" and tell it to run gimp. Do you get a konsole, and gimp?

Easiest is to "Work-around": K-System-Konsole. Don't click it, but drag it to your Panel at the bottom of the screen. Now you have a konsole that is 1-click away, and ready to use, with no extras.

Nope. I don't get a console while running Gimp with "Run Command", only when running "konsole". Neither i get a console when i run anything else besides "konsole"

OK.
K - Run Command - Options
Anything useful there to try changing?

Ok, i got it. In the options, there is a "Run in terminal window". Some why this was checked in, but only when i typed in "konsole". It is not like that now. Well, that solves the thing. I never thought, that it will be that simple. Thanks for help.



There is also another little problem, like this. I don't really want to open another thread for it, but i will, if someone asks me.
So sometimes when i turn off the Comp, before it shuts itself down, an error message appears, that KDE has been crashed. Thats it. No big deal either, but why shouldn't work the machine flawlessly?

Pleased we fixed it in the end.
Best to start another thread. Make it clear whether you are referring to kubuntu or slack (you have both listed)
