Re: Can't run any apps
Is there any output when running them from a terminal?

Re: Can't run any apps
Which desktop environment / window manager are you using?
Good ideas do not need lots of lies told about them in order to gain public acceptance.

Can't you Alt+F2 and type gnome-terminal to launch the terminal?

Have you try running the full path to gnome-terminal in tty2 as normal user?
/usr/bin/gnome-terminal

Re: Can't run any apps
Woah this sounds bad. I have two solutions:
1) Boot from a live cd, mount your partition and chroot into it. From there you could reinstall gnome.
2) Boot from a live cd, mount your partition, edit your ~/.xinitrc so no DE boots at start up, and do the fixing from the CLI

seems complicated,I prefer reinstall the system .Thanks.
