I had this issue with guake on my system. Following the fix given here [1], I was able to solve this on my system. For your information I have this in my vte folder: termcap termcap-0.0 termcap-2.90 And all but termcap have xterm in them.
This is the command I used as root. ln -T /usr/share/vte/termcap-0.0/xterm /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm Chris [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vte/+bug/140011/comments/7
