Bug#434522: gnome-terminal won't start
No, I didn't copy any binaries between distributions. This box is a box
I run a wiki on. It is running the testing version. I don't get on it
a lot but I did a day or two ago and upgraded whatever was available to
be upgraded for testing. Right after the upgrade, these problems
started happening. It seems like a new libc6 has hit testing recently.
If that is the case then I would have upgraded it. The box is not
totally crippled. The moinmoin wiki is still running on it. gdm does
not start up but I can still get a NoMachine NX connection into it with
does start up gnome. gnome-terminal doesn't work but xterm still does.
I tried reinstalling gdm, gnome-terminal, and libc6 with apt-get. I'm
not sure the reinstall works because it says it installs but I don't
see /usr/sbin/gdm. I am running two other testing boxes which don't
present the problem.
