(In reply to comment #1) > What happens if you install xterm or other terminal and try starting > gnome-terminal from it? I get the following error when trying to start it: "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal" gnome-terminal-2.26.3.1-1.fc11.i586 i tried reinstalling the package /var/log/messages doesn't have any more info on this I can ssh in locally via putty and can login in the other CLI vty's starting gnome-terminal from xterm fails with the same error message and no additional info appears in xterm
Fixed it by adding my user to the tty group.
