Hi all,
I did an "emerge -NuD world", it nearly finished, 2 or 3 big files to
go, when I decided it was bed time. I killed the build and went to bed.
This morning I can't now fire up Konsole, which I use as my terminal,
XTerm or UXTerm.
In more detail, I get the Konsole window, the menu is there and I can
open other tabs etc, but instead of the command prompt, I just get a
small grey blob in the top left hand corner. Hitting return does not get
me any carriage returns.
XTerm gives me the bouncing icon next to the cursor for a period of
time then disappears.
UXTerm gives me a small window with the message:
"uxterm tried unsuccessfully to use locale en_US.UTF-8 by setting
$LC_CTYPE to "en_US.UTF-8.
and that's all. I hit the OK button on the window and it all disappears.
Last night Konsole was fine, I did the emerge through it, but now
nothing. I didn't do revded-rebuild or etc-update as I usually do after
a world emerge.
Does anyone know what's wrong and how I can get out of this bind.
Something without having to resorting to rescue disks would be good but
if all else fails.....
Thanks for any thoughts,
Andrew
