When I try to start gnome terminal from launcher, nothing happens. except terminal Icon starts glowing for a few seconds and then nothing ....

But when I try to open it through urxvt, It starts without any kind of error or output.

  • Try start it from another terminal and check output.

There can be problem with launcher command which starts aplication.

Install alacarte, run it, find gnome-terminal launcher, open properties and insert command which work for you into input for command. In your case gnome-terminal or /usr/bin/gnome-terminal. Than save changes.

  • I don't use Ubuntu, but Debian. Here I have Gnome and in my gnome-terminal launcher there is default command gnome-terminal. Command gnome-terminal-server or any package with this name doesn't exist here. So you should wait for some Ubuntu guru.

  • @A.Esm.T gnome-terminal-server is the process name, gnome-terminal the command to run gnome-terminal. Jun 18, 2017 at 17:47
