Thanks JF for your information. On my screen xterm was a bit difficult to read. Instead of the command /usr/bin/xterm i have added /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.

Hi Credford! If you right-click on the "Applications" menu on the top left of your screen, you'll be able to choose either Edit Menu or Add New Item. From there you can add an item to the menu with the name and command you want. In my menu, I added an item with the name Shell and the command /usr/bin/xterm. You may need to install xterm with Synaptics first. I'm not sure if xterm is installed by default. Cheers!

[Bug 114124] Re: Xubuntu 7.04 xserver crashes when launching terminal
Here's a problem I'm running into with the color depth solution: in order to change xorg.conf, you have to be root. However, my Xubuntu GUI isn't prompting me for a root password when I open xorg.conf and I obviously can't do a manual sudo because I can't open the terminal. How are you editing xorg.conf without the terminal? Also, I've seen a number of people recommending some kind of gnome terminal as an alternative but I don't see a gnome terminal of any type in Synaptics. Am I missing something? Is there a listing somewhere with specific instructions for getting the gnome terminal working? -- Xubuntu 7.04 xserver crashes when launching terminal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/114124 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 114124] Re: Xubuntu 7.04 xserver crashes when launching terminal
Simple solution (that worked for me): change your color depth from 24 to 16 (in xorg.conf).

This also effected me using QEMU and installing from the alternate cd image for feisty (i386) onto a hard drive image. So could be tested on a vitual machine by the person who tries to fix this bug. To reproduce: (Opt install qemu) Install from alternate CD (not sure if this is the same with the desktop cd) xubuntu. Open a terminal from the menu.
