I'm stuck. Ubuntu 11.10 was working fine. I tried to create a desktop icon that I could click and run a Terminal command. (not launch a program, just run a command to set something). I don't know what I did, but now I can't get Terminal to run at all. I can't click on Terminal in the Launchbar or use alt-F2. If I try, I see a VERY quick box open and close. If I switch to another user, Terminal does open and work fine? I can't even get it to open gconfig or x-term or x-term manager? Does anyone know how to reset Terminal without being able to get into Terminal? I tried going into synaptic and removing Terminal, and then re-installing it, but it didn't change the behavior at all, it still won't open.

  1. Press Ctrl + Alt + F1


  2. In the virtual terminal, give your username and password to login.


  3. Execute these commands:



     rm -r ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal
    gconftools --recursive-unset /apps/gnome-terminal



And see what happens.
