LXTerminal Segmentation Fault when user

[raptir]

I just got Debian up and running with LXDE on my old laptop. I'm loving the DE except for one issue. LXTerminal will only launch if I'm root. I know there's already a topic about this, but this seems to be a different problem. If I launch LXTerminal through xterm as a user, it gives me a segmentation fault. I have LXTerminal 1.6 through Debian Sid. Is there anything that I can do to get this working? I like the new features of LXTerminal, and I'd really rather not need to stick to xterm.

LXTerminal works for most people, so it is probably something in your particular environment.

Most bugs of the form "only works when root" are a protection problem.

Build it yourself from sources, run under gdb from xterm and see if any clues. Post backtrace if you are stuck.

Answering this because I just hit the same problem

Almost certainly the problem is the ownership and permissions of the ~/.config/lxterminal directory and the files in it

From the root terminal do a

Code: Select all

chmod -R a+wX ~/.config/lxterminal
chmod -R username:username ~/.config/lxterminal

and the problem should be fixed.
