Background-colored text then shows up. Or use a browser that is able to disable the page style ;).

To enable the menu bar for current versions of Firefox/Iceweasel right click somewhere at the top and check "Menu Bar". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

When I suspect this (usually on web pages), I highlight the whole thing. Background-colored text then shows up.

Thanks guys for the responses. It was black font on black background. So I changed the color scheme, as some of you have told me to, and boom!

You could try typing the name of an application you know will run from the terminal. If that works, dig into the terminal profile settings and select the system colours (or deselect if this is already selected). -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I once had a similar problem - when pulseaudio had hung for some reason. Turned out that because the audio path was blocked, GNOME apps (mainly gnome-terminal) would hang when doing the sound effects (which I thought I had turned off). Other tool like xterm, rxvt etc worked fine... Hope this helps -- Karl E. Jorgensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Hi, GNOME-Terminal is blank in Awesome WM. It just opens but doesn't show anything. Not even by username and hostname. Absolutely nothing. But Xfce terminal was working great. Even Terminator is working properly. So what's wrong with GNOME-Terminal? -Muntasim Ul Haque -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
