Fischer I have linux mint 13, installed cinnamon, but i can't open terminal using right click nor using ctlr-alt-t this is just an issue with cinnamon, why is that happening? I haven't configured anything, it's just installed, all i did is use nomodeset in the boot option and download the required drivers that mint and ubuntu tell you to download when you first install them i tried to solve the issue by installing zsh, i thought that it's an issue with the default terminal, but i can't open zsh either, the issue is in cinnamon i believe
Joe There's probably an error message in a file in /var/log/*. Run several accounts of grep or tail to retrieve it. If you know the name of your terminal emulator (gnome-terminal in GNOME), you could try to launch it from an existing terminal (inside Cinnamon) to catch the error message. If you cannot get a terminal at all, try to launch `xterm`. It's a minimal terminal emulator that can be found in virtually every instance of X.
Fischer Well gnome terminal wasn't installed which is weired, i don't know if anyone is going to fix it, but i solved it by sudo apt-get install gnome-terminal and i posted my solution on launchpad. Happy new year everyone!
