Terminal not working in Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal"

[msapra85]

Hi ,
I just started on with Ubuntu 11.04 and suddenly this thing came up. The terminal is not working, it just opens up for a split-second and before i could think of anything its gone.

Any suggestions, what to do and how to?

Thanks in advance

You could try via Ubuntu Software Center -> uninstall terminal, then install

Did this happen from the beginning?

Well, I wouldn't do that, as this would remove the "ubuntu-desktop" meta-package as well. You could, however, 'reinstall' "gnome-terminal" via Synaptic or command line, but I really don't think that this would change anything. Better try this:

- Copy the content of "/etc/skel" into the top-level of your home directory.

- Run this command via the Alt+F2 dialog:

gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/gnome-terminal

Everything from my desktop is gone, i can't see any panel, no side bar, absolutely nothing.
I changed some settings from "compiz", something related to extended desktop, and now all i got is desktop pnly .
Any idea, what to do??

Actually, I was meaning "You are 'another one' having this ubiquitous issue.", the new one.
So, no offense or something to you!
