Public bug reported:
gnome-terminal wont start, giving a VTE related error:
gnome-terminal: symbol lookup error: gnome-terminal: undefined symbol:
vte_terminal_set_alternate_screen_scroll
I started using the yaquake and tilda terminal emulators a few months
ago, so I didn't notice this problem right away, thus I'm unsure what
I've done that caused it, and when. Today, when I try to run gnome-
terminal I get the above error. I get the same error when logged in as
other users, so it's not a user-specific issue.
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10
$ apt-cache policy gnome-terminal
gnome-terminal:
Installed: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
$ apt-cache policy libvte9
libvte9:
Installed: 1:0.22.2-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 1:0.22.2-0ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 1:0.22.2-0ubuntu2 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
I tried running 'sudo aptitude reinstall libvte9' and that didn't help.
I'm wondering whether the order of sources in /etc/apt/sources.list
might be the problem? to that end I'm including the output of the
following in hopes it might help:
$ grep -v '^#' /etc/apt/sources.list

Please let me know what else you'll need on this and I'll provide it
right away. Thanks!
