[solved]Terminal doesn't work
Well, after a "pacman -Syu" and a restart, it's seems my terminals are out of order. Xterm and urxvt don't run, they just don't...no errors, nothing. "terminal" on the other hand runs, but the blinker thingie stays in the upper left corner and does nothing, no text is printed.
Eterm: it runs, but it displays "Hit a key to exit..." and the window title contains "task finished, ESC to exit".
So, I have no idea what's going on. And help would be really appreciated

Re: [solved]Terminal doesn't work
Is your shell working? Sounds like the terminals are fine but whatever they want to run inside themselves isn't working.

Check 'mount' and make sure /dev/pts is mounted. If it's not, do 'mount -a' as root, and try your terminals again.

Thank you, this worked like a charm.
