Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Archives-Salt: 3e4f3d6a-caf8-4991-b49d-8a35d147d2d2 X-Archives-Hash: 8213a72e9b5a60705e610b7a8e57c008 Hi all, I did an "emerge -NuD world", it nearly finished, 2 or 3 big files to go, when I decided it was bed time. I killed the build and went to bed. This morning I can't now fire up Konsole, which I use as my terminal, XTerm or UXTerm. In more detail, I get the Konsole window, the menu is there and I can open other tabs etc, but instead of the command prompt, I just get a small grey blob in the top left hand corner. Hitting return does not get me any carriage returns. XTerm gives me the bouncing icon next to the cursor for a period of time then disappears. UXTerm gives me a small window with the message: "uxterm tried unsuccessfully to use locale en_US.UTF-8 by setting $LC_CTYPE to "en_US.UTF-8. and that's all. I hit the OK button on the window and it all disappears. Last night Konsole was fine, I did the emerge through it, but now nothing. I didn't do revded-rebuild or etc-update as I usually do after a world emerge. Does anyone know what's wrong and how I can get out of this bind. Something without having to resorting to rescue disks would be good but if all else fails..... Thanks for any thoughts, Andrew
