Public bug reported: Steps to reproduce: 1. Lubuntu 12.04 clean install (it may work on an older install too, but if it doesn't, try a clean installation). 2. Install MonoDevelop from the Lubuntu Software Center. 3. Start MonoDevelop. 4. Start a new solution and a new C# console project within it. 5. MonoDevelop autogenerates a Hello World! program for you. 6. Try to run or debug (Ctrl+F5 or F5) the unmodified source code and experience the error.
It seems that monodevelop uses xterm to run console projects, but xterm is not a dependency for monodevelop. Since xterm is not part of a default Lubuntu installation, MonoDevelop will throw an error at step 6. The workaround is to install xterm manually via apt-get, synaptic, or Software Center. This problem has been around on other distros & platforms, see this forum thread for an example: http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/File- name-has-not-been-set-td1510697.html AFAIK this is a simple packaging problem.
