a problem with Konsole

[sbarbati]

Hi, I am new PC-BSD user.
After a fresh installation of pc-bsd galileo i have only a problem with the consolle.

I try to lauch the terminal but the window appears and close itself without a error message.

After a new installation the behavior is the same: the entire system is ok but the Terminal doesn't work.

Can anybody help me?

thanks

sb

Try start xterm first and then start konsole from it. It will show you debug information.

The problem is particular to /bin/sh. csh, tcsh, bash, and rbash all work, i.e. at installation time you picked /bin/sh as your default shell.

Solution:

- Press ALT-F2
- enter 'konsole -e csh'
- konsole should now be running
- Settings | Change Profile | Shell
- Settings | Edit Current Profile
- On the general tab, set the Command field to a shell other than /bin/sh (e.g. /bin/csh). I have mine set to /usr/local/bin/bash. See /etc/shells for a list of shells installed on your system (do not alter this file).
- click on OK
- terminate konsole

Now you should be able to start and run konsole.
