When I run gedit as a user, the embedded terminal is unusuable. I am not shown a prompt and I cannot input any commands. (gnome-terminal works fine). However, when I run gedit in root, the terminal becomes usuable. Is there a solution to get the gedit terminal working as a user?
I have installed gedit through pacman as well as compiling it myself. I have tried to chown as well as chmod (777) to no avail.
sudo chown -R root:users terminal.gedit-plugin terminal.pyc terminal.pyo terminal.py
sudo chmod 777 terminal.gedit-plugin terminal.pyc terminal.pyo terminal.py
Any ideas?

You said gnome-terminal works fine so what are you currently trying to use ? Terminator works just fine, too
** IMO, I don't think that it depends on the terminal you are using - all configs are missing anyway.

never seen an 'embedded' terminal in 'gedit' ... (which doesn't mean there isn't one!)

I don't have gedit to confirm or go through the exact paces, but i believe you have to enable a plugin to use the embedded terminal. Look somewhere in Preferences.

This terminal is part of community/gedit-plugins. And, yes, it works here in my standard user.
But I did install the gedit-plugins only recently. May be any version mismatches?
To know or not to know ...
... the questions remain forever.

maybe if you start gedit itself from a terminal you will get a meaningful error message
