After you get this message, are you still able to use terminal or is it totally unusable?

Cheers!

Sounds like a file permission problem. Some file that the terminal uses can't be written to.

Try from the one terminal you can get open: "xterm&" (no quotes). See if a raw xterm can open. The xterm window is a "very ugly", very stupid text window, but it will do everything that the regular terminal can do.

I recall very vaguely that for a while under Fedora Core 8, I had a problem with the text terminals. A patch was later installed using yum that fixed everything. Make sure that you are up to date.

Good luck. Tell me what happens, I have something else to try but it is very radical.

I have moved the file .gconf/ to .gconfd/ after moved that one once i had logout and login it's working.

Thanks for your reply.
