Screen Error on Linux
« on: March 25, 2011, 03:03:11 am »
It started happening after I used TAR to backup and restore my Linux system to a new partition. Whenever I build and run anything, my screen gets messed up and I have to relogin.

It looks worse on the actual screen. (I can't read the white console)

I tried reinstalling Code::Blocks, but I couldn't uninstall completely. All my settings were still the same after I reinstalled it. I also reinstalled g++ and my graphic driver, but it didn't solve anything. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Does it only happen in C::B or also with other applications ?

To completely remove C::B's configuration, remove (or better rename [backup!]) ~/.codeblocks/default.conf or the whole ~.codeblocks/ directory.

XTerm was causing the problem. I changed it to gnome-terminal and it works now.
