Several fatal problems occured after installing arch

gnu_bentoo

Hello, every body:
I just installed achlinux, and upgraded to the newest packages. But there are several problems:
1. gnome-terminal cannot work:
When I launch gnome-terminal, a dialog popup with the following error message:

1. There was an error creating the child process for this terminal

复制代码

And I cannot type any letter on the terminal window.
I searched the net and I knew it was the problem of udev, but I did'nt find any solution.
Had anyone  have this problem any solved it sucessfully?
2. I canot find the "Run.." dialog where you can type the comand and launch a program. And the gnome menus did not update when an new package had been installed . So  they could not be launched. What is the name of the  package?
3. Could anyone post you faverite servers for installing packages (/etc/pacman.conf)?
My archlinux's kernel version is 2.6.13
Thank you in advance!

我也刚刚超级了内核和gnome2.12（用pacman -Syu），没有出现问题。gnome速度很快（可能是心理作用）。
升级内核后，你看到提示了吗？有没有按照说明来做？运行命令的窗口可以用快捷键Alt+F2打开的。
upgrading kernel26... done.

Problem #2 solved:
I copyed /etc/fstab from gentoo linux to archlinux, so It it did'not work. There are some differences between the gentoo and arch.
After adding the following line to the /etc/fstab,

1. none                    /dev/pts        devpts          defaults                0       0

复制代码

and mounting /dev/pts, the gnome-terminal work!

2. I canot find the "Run.." dialog where you can type the comand and launch a program. And the gnome menus did not update when an new package had been installed . So they could not be launched. What is the name of the package?

It is meant to be. New gnome-menu hides such dialog from main menu, but you can still access to it by shortcut "ctrl+r", however why the hell you need that, terminal will be a better place to do it if you have to type one command manually.

3. Could anyone post you faverite servers for installing packages (/etc/pacman.conf)?

当时gnome-terminal不可用. 用ALT+F2可以调出那个"运行应用程序"那个对话框
