I have a recent installation of Ubuntu 18.04.1.



When I open a terminal, a tab shows in the taskbar for a few sencods but then it fades away. The same with Files



I've seen other users suggest to change the language but did not work for me.



Not much I can add for now






18.04 gnome-terminal

  • can you switch to something like tty2?
