Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux Installed from: Unlisted Binary Package Hi, i have archlinux 2.6.29 with kdemod 4.2.2 and recenly, im not sure what exactly triggered this, konsole will not accept any input, although it responds well in menus and right clicking works well too. I dont know how to search for more information without a console :( If i write or try to paste anything it doesn't work, the same if i type a command and press enter. Please help, i can't do anything without my konsole!

Couple of things I can suggest: 1. When you press keys are the letters printed on the terminal? 2. Using KRunner (Alt+F2), try starting Konsole with: konsole -e /bin/sh And see if you get a prompt that you can use.
Hi Robert, 1. Letters are not printed, terminal looks all the time as it is on the image attached. 2. The command just opens konsole and nothing else happends
Hi all I'm confirming this behaviour, exactly as Juan said (including answers 1 and 2, that "no letters are printed" - nor my username@computer_name, nothing and also that "command konsole -e /bin/sh" do the same as just "konsole"). In other terminal when I check "ps axf" I can see /bin/bash running as child process of konsole (so I'm guessing that konsole run bash, and bug is somewhere else). For addition I can tell that I've just upgraded from Kubuntu 8.04 (KDE 3.??) to Kubutu 9.04 (KDE 4.2.2) and then the behaviour started. palino
I,ve noticed i have another problem that may be associated or not: Root actions doesn't seem to work in dolphin (and i dont think it's related to dolphin). It just gives an error when i enter my password Look in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF4113yFH0c Root dialog error says "No se encontró el programa «su».<br/>Asegúrese de que su variable PATH esté configurada correctamente." It would be something like this in English: "Could not find program «su».<br/> Be sure that your variable PATH is configured correctly."
If you open up xterm or another terminal and start konsole from that, do you see any warnings from Konsole printed to the original terminal?
Me, I cannot start xterm (when I run it from Alt+F2, nothing happen, no window show). Xterm is definitely installed (I manually installed it by apt-get). I don't know any other terminal. So my only "pseudo-terminal" is KRunner, where I can run simple commands. When I run: "konsole &> ~/debug.txt", the debug file is empty.
> I don't know any other terminal. rxvt and gnome-terminal are two others - you would probably need to install them first using a package manager. Failing that, you can use the Linux terminal. 1. Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to VT1. 2. Login 3. Run "export DISPLAY=:0" 4. Run "konsole" Konsole will be started on your main display (which you can switch back to with Ctrl+Alt+F7 - depending on your setup the numbers of the 'F' keys might vary) and any output should be displayed on VT1.
The same happens to me. I will try with the VT but i have to create another account first (from within the terminal of course)
I've installed also rxvt. When I run it, the windows appears for a split a second and it disappears. (so in conclusion, it's the third terminal, which is not working: Konsole, xterm, rxvt) Running Konsole from Linux terminal (or also from Konsole which is run with "kdesudo konsole") prints: konsole <unknown program name>(31336)/: KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server <unknown program name>(31334)/: KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly. Actually, I can run all terminals with "kdesudo".
Ok, i've done it, and i didn't have to create another user (noob). I just needed to login first in terminal. This is the output of konsole: Konsole (7473) Konsole::Pty::flowControlEnabled: Unable to get flow control status, terminal not connected. Konsole (7473): Attempt to use QAction "change-profile" with KXMLGUIFactory! Konsole (7473) Konsole::Pty::start: Unable to set terminal attributes @ "palypster@gmail.com": You dont have the problem with root actions in dolphin?
> Konsole (7473) Konsole::Pty::start: Unable to set terminal attributes Can you start Konsole from the terminal using strace as follows: strace konsole --nofork 2> log And attach the 'log' file which is created to this bug report.
Created attachment 33099 [details] output of: strace konsole --nofork 2> log
I attached output of the command. (I run command from the Konsole instance that I run with kdesudo, I hope that is ok). @juan: I don't think so. Because I don't use Dolphin at all. (If you are thinking about the builtin actions in Dolphin and Konqueror to work with Konsole, they didnt work for me nowadays forasmuch as my Konsole doesn't work at all :) ). But if you think of something, feel free to advise.. thx
Created attachment 33101 [details] strace konsole --nofork >2 log output Here's mine
Juan, Looks like Konsole didn't start up at all when you created that trace? - The log ends with a message about not being able to connect to DBus. Did you run "export DISPLAY=:0" first before starting Konsole? You should find that after starting Konsole with strace it does not stop until you press Ctrl+C in the shell to kill it manually.

You're right, sorry
Created attachment 33104 [details] strace konsole --nofork >2 log correct output this time
but i was able to close konsole from X though (and its not in the processes anymore)
palypster, Can you see my comment #17 as well about setting the DISPLAY variable before running strace? Juan, palypster I wonder whether this might be relevant - http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=15466 When running 'mount' from the Linux terminal, do you see an entry like: devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620) If not, does running 'sudo mount devpts' help?
Robert thx, you was right: root@palino:/home/palino# mount | grep pts root@palino:/home/palino# sudo mount devpts mount: can't find devpts in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab root@palino:/home/palino# So I google for it, and here you are: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1058221 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/313947 So I mounted it manually and now all terminals are working. Thx a lot. p
Yes! It does work with te command "sudo mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts" But how can i make it permanent, cause it didn't work when i rebooted, Adding it to fstab maybe? can you attach yours Robert? My problem would be the UUID though btw MANY THX!!
I think i found the answer here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7025446 I will try tomorrow. Thx again Robert
Hi Juan, My fstab file doesn't have any pts-related entries in it, just one for the main HDD partition and another for the DVD drive. As the forum comments mentioned - this must be mounted by something else. The bug report palypster linked to is a duplicate of another which has more details - but I don't know if any of this will be applicable to ArchLinux. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/insserv/+bug/321927
Well, it did work after all with that entry in fstab. If anyone esle has the same problem just add this line to /etc/fstab devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 Thanks for your time Robert!
