Marking as confirmed, several people are having the issue apparently
** Bug 66403 has been marked a duplicate of this bug
** Summary changed:
- edgy gnome-terminal does not start
+ gnome-terminal does not start when using xinerama and nvidia
** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
I am experiencing the same issue.
I have a fresh edgy install, with all updates applied.
I use nvidia-glx with twinview and xinerama
When I launch gnome-terminal, from an xterm window it doesn't start and
I receive the same error. gnome-terminal doesn't launch from the
Applications menu.
When
do all the people having this issue are using a xinerama setup?

I also tried it out.
Using Xinerama, g-t does not start. Just commenting out Xinerama, it
works. Reenabling Xinerama, fails again.

Well I've now tried several combinations of xorg.conf with both open-
source nv and proprietary nvidia drivers. Every combination worked with
gnome-terminal, EXCEPT when xinerama was enabled.
I go to the point where I tried simply commenting xinerama out of my
xorg.conf. Gnome started an instance
I am receiving the exact same error as the original reporter, when
trying to run gnome-terminal from Konsole. The program will not run when
I try to open it from the Applications menu either.
I'm running dual monitors with Xinerama and the nvidia-glx drivers, but
no other changes to the X config
Hmm,t wo people (snafu109 and me) both having nvidia-glx and Xinerama,
and having this same problem. If that is not a coincidence?
As snafu109 has a fresh install, I rule out the bug being a result from
my constant updates since dapper. I'm quite busy this week, but ASAP
I'll remove the second
Martin,
Even I'm using proprietary nvidia drivers with Xinerama, so that makes
the three of us.

I also have the same bug happening on Edgy. The output from the
backtrace that I got on machine has more information:
(gdb) bt
#0 gdk_x_error (display=0x80a8200, error=0xbffec9b8) at gdkmain-x11.c:608
#1 0xb73119e5 in bonobo_ui_gtk_module_info_get () from
/usr/lib/libbonoboui-2.so.0
#2
Also, running with --sync gives me this backtrace:
(gdb) bt
#0 gdk_x_error (display=0x80a8100, error=0xbfe39fc8) at gdkmain-x11.c:608

what is the top changelog entry from
/usr/share/doc/libvte9/changelog.Debian.gz ?

And copy that to a comment. What videodriver do you use? Does it happen

Ok, I set up the virtual machine, and adapted the package status via
dpkg --get-selections etc.
In the VM, gnome-terminal works as expected, so my problem seems to be
caused by some incompatible configuration element left over from dapper.
I'll continue my investigations... Would a _full_ strace
Attach the full strace if you have it. Thank you.

Yes, it does not start neither from the menu nor from an xterm.
It is version 2.16.0-0ubuntu1 (happened with 2.15.92..., too).
It does not crash with an exception, it exits gracefully with a non-
zero exit code, so there is no backtrace, and I cannot gdb it.
I suspect that it is a font problem,
One more thing: AFAIK gnome-terminal uses a special Terminal widget,
which is also used by e.g. by update-manager to show the work apt-get
install does during upgrades. update-manager works flawless here.
(Please correct me if this is a wrong assumption).

If you delete ~/.bash_profile does it work? If you delete ~/.bashrc does
it work? try them one at a time please. AFAIK they both use gtk wigets.

Sorry, moving the bash config out of the way did not help. I'll do a
more radical thing now: I'm downloading an edgy knot2 amd64 alternate
ISO now, and I'll set up a VMWare and compare the configuration to my
host...

Does both running it from term and running it from menu both cause it to
not start? What version of gnome-terminal is this? can you please try to
get a backtrace or some kind of debug info for it? Maybe check in
/var/crash to see a apport logged it and please attach any debug info
you get. Thank
