(Sorry for language)
I just installed Kali Linux 2.0 on a lenovo z50-70 , just after the installation i opened the terminal (clicking on the terminal icon) but after a bit of loading nothing shows up , i tried re installing gnome and all the needed packets, but nothing changes. i tried to google it and it seems that no one (but me and an online buddy, that also didn't found anything) is actually having some troubles like that
but here comes the interesting thing
I tried to install a different Kali version (32 bits) on a different machine (an Eee pc from asus) and I had the same problem. This thing is literally driving me crazy.
btw I tried all of the following without any results :
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install gnome #it wasn't installed yet
apt-get upgrade gnome-terminal #latest version already installed
update: i installed a new terminal emulator (terminator) , and it works , but i would really prefere to have back my gnome-terminal , because all the applications links are on the gnome terminal ( as nmap and setoolkit , for example) so it would be great also to know if i can change, for example, nmap, to run on the terminator terminal emulator.
Best Answer
After some research i found out that this problem is caused by the selection of c ( untrackable english ) language in the installation process, i fixed everything from the settings, changing the language from c (untrackable english language) to english, and logging out and back in.
now it works fine and the terminal starts without any issues
