If like me, you performed a yum update this morning and your gnome-terminal has stopped working and instead is doing a lot of this:
(gnome-terminal:2274): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_screen_get_number: assertion `GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)’ failed
gnome-terminal: symbol lookup error: gnome-terminal: undefined symbol: vte_terminal_set_opacity
This is probably because you were trying out aiglx and you’ve removed the aiglx repo.
Try this:
rpm -e gnome-terminal vte –nodeps ; yum install gnome-terminal
The tricky part was figuring out why it’d happened.
Thanks to various people in #fedora for helping with this one!
I had the same problem here and your solution worked like a charm.
In my case, the aiglx repository was still enabled and working. I believe this problem comes from the recent update to the vte package in the fedora core repository, but not in the aiglx one.
Thanks for your help!
Your fixed fixed my f5 .. i to just did a repo install of the aiglx with
the repo still in place and it broke my gnome-term
did what you said (with yum) and i noticed the size diff and version diff
in gnome-terminal

Thanks for the GREAT help
I had similar problem, but the fix didn’t directly work. I was getting an error package -nodeps not installed. From an xterm I went to /etc/yum.repos.d/ and removed aiglx.repo, then rpm -e gnome-terminal (this was the only way I could get it to work without getting dependency errors). That removed fine, then yum install gnome-terminal. All was fine after that.
I use Ubuntu 6.06 LTS now.. I would recommend it if you don’t mind network-manager not working as well!
