I have installed the latest Xubuntu on a Dell desktop machine and everything seemed to be fine until I tried to install Celtx (the Linix version). After many hours of failing at this and looking through documentation I have come to the conclusion that part of my problem is that I can't open Terminal. However I try to open Terminal, using the keyboard or through the Applications/Accessories menu or by right clicking, the screen goes nuts, then black, then reappears at the splash screen with the user log in. I assume that this is either me doing something wrong, or a bug, or a problem with the install - (which I've hardly had time to screw up!). I'd be very grateful if someone could help with either or both problems - given that any help with Celtx alone would have to be without using Terminal.
