In desktop mode, I click the icon for Terminal, a tab opens at the top and I get the spinning wheel for a few seconds, then they disappear. Running this in VMware. capture

How do I get to xterm?

Sounds similar to that issue.

Ryochan7 commented 9 years ago

Alt+F2 brings up a run dialog. You can run xterm from that.

nuxes commented 9 years ago

Thanks, that works. I guess the terminal is a known bug with vanilla SteamOS?

mdeguzis commented 9 years ago

Yes. For now, you can use the fix described in the issue directhex linked. It is the same issue.

sharkwouter commented 8 years ago

Today I've seen this for the first time, maybe it had something to do with doing a custom install.

directhex commented 8 years ago

It's an issue if you install with a non-English locale, afaik

mdeguzis commented 8 years ago

Happens to me. I'll have to retest again tonight if I can. If not this weekend.

sharkwouter commented 8 years ago

I had it on a custom installation on which I selected the US as location, English as language and the US International keyboard layout.
