Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
GNOME Terminal 2.26.0 is the version. I don't understand the stuff
about finding the right package, sorry. The situation is that I have
purchased an Nvidia card: e-GeForce FX 5200 from eVga. I installed
this, then installed Ubuntu, wiping out all previous partitions (only
one hard drive). It had me download updates from Ubuntu, then drivers
from Nvidia. The download for each driver (173 and 96) hanged, but
System->Administration->Hardware Drivers allowed me to activate them
individually. I tried the 173 driver, but in NVIDIA X Server Settings
its resolution was minimal (640 X 480), so I tried the 96 driver, which
gave me 1024 X 768. The gnome terminal white out happens both with 85
Hz or on Auto. It only whites out AFTER reboot. I can left click at
the top of the terminal white space and get menus. I can right click on
it and also get a menu. And I can close it from the task bar. I can
even type "exit" and it closes. So it's simply not displaying the
terminal, even though it functions. I intend to keep trying lower
resolutions, but actually, I can only save the NVIDIA X Server Settings
Configuration by bringing it up via sudo at the command prompt. It
doesn't ask me for my password before entering NVIDIA X Server Settings
from the menu (System->Administration).
Hope all this helps!
