Now i can open Browsers etc. And i can also open a Terminal with alt+enter But!!: If i open a terminal, there is just a black background in the terminal and i cant write anything in it... is there any solution ? Because without having a working terminal, I3 is very useless for me. Thank you very very much. lg KretrouxWed, 05 Dec 2012 16:28:03 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/855/black-background-in-terminal/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/855/black-background-in-terminal/?comment=857#comment-857This might be a duplicate of http://faq.i3wm.org/question/661/cant-type-in-terminal/Wed, 05 Dec 2012 16:38:43 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/855/black-background-in-terminal/?comment=857#comment-857https://faq.i3wm.org/question/855/black-background-in-terminal/?answer=856#post-id-856I realised, that i can open "xterm" but alt+enter tries to open the gnome-terminal. that doesnt work correctly.Wed, 05 Dec 2012 16:30:16 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/855/black-background-in-terminal/?answer=856#post-id-856https://faq.i3wm.org/question/855/black-background-in-terminal/?answer=863#post-id-863Thanks Michael, it was the colorsetting in the Terminal.Wed, 05 Dec 2012 17:36:27 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/855/black-background-in-terminal/?answer=863#post-id-863
