LXTerminal not working after updates

[torreydale]

Desktop: Linux Lite 2.8 64 bit
Laptop: Linux Lite 3.4 64 bit


After the most recent updates, which seemed to include an update to lxterminal, I can't use the Resource Usage tool.  I can't open a terminal using ctrl-alt-t.  I can't open a terminal using the terminal icon in the bottom left of the panel (default setup).  I can open a terminal if I go to the Menu and type lxterminal.  An option to "Run lxterminal" appears and a terminal will open.  I can open htop from there.  That is the only way I've seen to do it so far.  This is affecting both my laptop and desktop.

lxterminal version?

[torreydale]

For my laptop, it is LXTerminal 0.2.0.


I have changed the keyboard and panel icon commands to reflect lxterminal instead of x-terminal-emulator.  Things work now with those.  Not as successful doing the same thing to the Resource Usage menu icon.

No effect here with (3.x):

Code:

apt policy lxterminal
lxterminal:
  Installed: 0.2.0-1ubuntu0.1
  Candidate: 0.2.0-1ubuntu0.1
  Version table:
*** 0.2.0-1ubuntu0.1 500
        500 http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security/universe amd64 Packages
        500 http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.2.0-1 500
        500 http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages

Will see if there are any other reports on this.

On my laptop, I Systemback restored to a point from July 27, 2017.  Everything worked as usual.  Then I ran updates, and the situation reappeared.  See the last item in this screenshot.  It's a more complete version number for the lxterminal upgrade.

Terminal opens with ctrl-alt-t


Resource usage opening from Menu.


htop opening in Terminal.




LL 3.6x64beta as above... no errors.

I am using LL 3.2 64Bit
This update came yesterday, same version.
Terminal opens with Ctrl+Alt+t as usual, terminal also opens using the panel icon.
System>Resource Usage opens from Menu, and also in terminal from htop command.

I have LL 3.4 64 Bit in Virtual Box, and have made this update today.
Terminal also opens using the panel icon.
System>Resource Usage opens from Menu, and also in terminal from htop command.
*Terminal opens with Ctrl+Alt+t*

Update -
*I notice the Ctrl+Alt+t in Virtual Box does not open the terminal in Virtual Box machine it opens the terminal in main computer/Host.
I check the VB machine/Guest Settings>Keyboard  Terminal is set for keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+T
So is a change since update*
May be related to change of [member=5239]torreydale[/member]

Tested using a LL 3.4 unmodified system freshly updated from 8 days old. LX terminall works in all functions. Check your post update installation log for the entry below:

Setting up lxterminal (0.2.0-1ubuntu0.1)...
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/lxterminal to provide /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator (x-terminal-emulator in auto mode)

If you have installed other terminal emulators, or chosen another default terminal on your system, it may affect this update. Perhaps using synaptic to uninstall and reinstall lxterminal will solve this.
or
Menu>Settings>Settings Manager>Preferred Applications>Utilities>Preffered Teminal Emulator>lxterminal: is the default install setting
If you have used systemd or installed dconf editor set the default to lxterminal there too. You may have to do both depending on how you set up your system configuration.

Thanks everyone, especially [member=5916]trinidad[/member] on this one.  I checked the /var/log/llupdates.log file and I saw a line with:

update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/konsole to provide /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator (x-terminal-emulator) in auto mode

I did a search and found this link.  I ran sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator, and my output looked like the following:


 

Everything works as expected now.  By the way, I have Konsole installed because it works in conjunction with a network engineering app called GNS3.
