[Solved] xfce4 - Terminal Emulator isn't working

OS Stuntman · 2011-10-20 13:48:52

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.

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.
