[Solved] Corrupted XFCE Terminal

Hi all,

I've just carried out my first Arch Linux install on a KVM virtual machine.  I opted for the XFCE desktop and have started to install some packages.  Unfortunately, XFCE4-Terminal is unusable as all the text is corrupt, as you can see below:-

Xterm works fine, so it's not the end of the world, but it would be good to have XFCE4-Terminal working properly.

Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Gareth

Re: [Solved] Corrupted XFCE Terminal

I have questions..  what is your video driver ?
How is your /etc/locale.conf configured ?
What is unmasked (#) in your /etc/locale.gen ?

What is your configuration for /home/<yourid>/.config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc ?  (or reset it by deleting it)

Kilzool - you hit the nail on the head!  After reading your post, I changed  my video driver from 'modesetting' to 'vesa' and xfce-terminal worked fine

Thanks for you help.
