after numerous fresh installation, each time gnome-terminal core dumping after libc6 update, i decided to try a slightly different way of installation and it works fine now. Detail process as follows:
1) connected to internet and allow apt-get to refresh *during* installation (in my previous installations, i always disconnect during installation) 2) perform full update *before* trying to run any application (in prev installation, i always use terminal, firefox etc while updating) 3) restart 4) gnome-terminal core dumped again 5) apt-get --reinstall install libc6 6) restart 7) gnome-terminal works again :) 8) now firefox core dumped :( 9) reinstall firefox 10) restart 11) everything works :) 12) installed chinese language support (in previous installation, i installed language support immediately after update) now everything works fine and i'm happy :) frankly i almost gave up gutsy and turn to fedora 8.... i don't know what went wrong with my previous installations, but all these failed attempts definitely leaves a bad taste -- gnome-terminal fails to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161772 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
