After installing of LXTerminal, it's working only when I run it from xterm, as a root user.
When I run it as a normal user (from menu or xterm) the program returns no error, but i'm not able to write anytjing on it.
And that's the whole problem, maybe You met with something similiar?

Found solution.
The cause was that, that I didn't setted up the default shell for user. Other terminas have used anything
(bash, sh), but LXTerminal just used nothing. Seemse that, only LXTerminal did property thing :D - what is
very good i my opinion. The default root's shell user was bash, therefore after reloggin there was no problems.

Other solutions was to change in lxterminal.desktop the line:

Code: Select all

Exec=lxterminal
to

Code: Select all

Exec=lxterminal -e /bin/bash
.
