[Solved] xfce4 - Terminal Emulator isn't working

Hello,

          I installed xfc4 (v4.8) on OpenBSD 4.9 yesterday and Terminal Emulator isn't doing anything when I click to launch. The only changes I've made so far was switch to bash chsh: Shell: /usr/local/bin/bash, since Terminal look much better than xterm, I'd really like to get it working. Would someone point me in the right direction.

Re: [Solved] xfce4 - Terminal Emulator isn't working

Maybe it exo that is misconfigured to run Terminal Emulator.
Here is a work around : look at the Properties of your Terminal's launcher. By default the command it run is something like this :
exo-open --launch  TerminalEmulator
Put the real path to terminal (/usr/bin/terminal or /usr/local/bin/terminal or ...) instead.

Or try to run it from the xfrun (Alt-F2) : terminal

<Filename>exo-terminal-emulator.desktop</Filename> is what's there, but I don't see terminal in either of the suggested location.  I tried to run terminal (alt-f2) before I posted and it opened http://www.terminal.com/ in my browser.

Stupid question : did you installed Terminal ?? If yes, find where you installed it. I don't know OpenBSD so ... Otherwise there is :
find / -name "terminal"

Actually that's not a stupid question, I had to check just to make sure (pkg_info). I was looking for terminal not xfce4-terminal =/. Its working now, thanks.
