Description
Package: gnome-terminal Severity: critical Version: 2.0.1 Synopsis: gnome-terminal crashes with segfault Bugzilla-Product: gnome-terminal Bugzilla-Component: general BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.0.3)
Description: Description of Problem: The gnome-terminal wont run at all. When I try to start it, it segfauls immediatly. I've rebooted and that hasn't solved the problem, so with all my Linux experience I have no idea. I'm not even sure how this problem arrived. The last thing I was doing was compiling GARNOME as a normal user (NOT root), so I'm not sure how that could have affected this. However, when I was compiling GARNOME, it looks like I might not have switched to the meta/garnome-desktop/ directory before doing a "make install", and instead doing it from the root of that folder, but as a normal user I'm not sure if that did anything.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
- Have GARNOME compiling, CTRL+C to interrupt after about 2 hours, shut down computer and go bed.
- Wake up, boot up, log in.
- Attempt to start gnome-terminal
Actual Results: Segfaults immediatly, wont start.
Expected Results: A nice shiny gnome-terminal popping up on screen, who I can get to know and love, and cherish every minute of it's beautiful existance...
How often does this happen? Every time, even after a total reboot.
Additional Information: Haven't tried logging in as other user/root yet. Running Red Hat 8.0, on Pentium 4 2.53GHz, 1024MB RAM, GeForce4 Ti4600. I honestly have no idea what's caused this... :-\
