Terminal window freezes

Post by Amnion »

I just updated to Mint 18.3 XFCE. when I open a terminal window and name it, I can no longer use my mouse to do anything in the window. So if I move off the terminal I can't get back to it and if I was in another tab I can't use it. I can't even close the terminal.

Any thoughts? I know that the XFCE updated terminal to the .8 version, maybe its not ready for prime time?

Thanks.

I did not use the iso. I was updating over a network and just used sed to change the repositories to sylvia.

Please test by booting from the 18.3 iso if you get the problem
Upgrade from 17.x to 18.x isn't recommended as it can lead to a myriad of problems.
From 18.x to 18.x the upgrade should be ok

I originally upgraded from 18.1 straight to 18.3.

I have also booted from the 18.3 ISO and still get the problem.
