I had konsole working properly (or so it seemed), but something happened -- I know not what. Now when I call konsole it flashes on the screen and shuts down immediately. There's nothing helpful in .xsession-errors or /var/log/syslog. What might be going on, and how can I fix it?

Re: konsole shuts down immediately
Reinstall konsole?
Code:sudo apt-get install --reinstall konsole
Windows no longer obstructs my view.
Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

Reinstall doesn't help
Reinstall doesn't help. I think the problem is in some settings file that konsole looks at. But what might that be? I'm having some trouble locating docs on konsole.Comment

Re: konsole shuts down immediately
See if you get any error messages when running konsole from a virtual console:
1. switch to virtual terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 (you can get back with Ctrl+Alt+F7)
2. Log in in the terminal (username+password)
3. Start konsole with
(this will attempt to start konsole on your primary X display [Ctrl+Alt+F7])Code:DISPLAY=:0 konsole
4. Write down any error messages printed in the virtual terminal that might be related to your problem.
5. Post the error(s) here
You can clean up konsole configuration by removing/renaming:
~/.kde/share/config/konsolerc
(and ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole directory)Comment

Problem found: profile was corrupted
The problem, it seems, was that the file .kde/share/apps/konsole/Shell.profile was corrupted. I cleaned it up and now I have my shell back.

Tried to create Konsole profile borked it.
Hi
Thanks to this thread, I have Konsole back, but still have a question.
It used to be that one made a new tab put a command in it, like gksudo konqueror, and "saved session"..
Not in Natty.
Any comments or instructions as to how to make profile that doesn't blow up Konsole?
