menuconfig isn't working

Hi, I'm using instructions from here (
http://www.jann.cc/2012/08/08/building_freescale_s_community_yocto_bsp_for_the_olinuxino.html)
to build Freescale’s Community Yocto BSP for the OLinuXino.  Everything
seems to be working fine, except when I try to configure the kernel build
using  "bitbake -c menuconfig linux-imx"--the menuconfig window appears and
disappears very quickly and the log looks like this:

NOTE: Running task 248 of 248 (ID: 4,
/home/jess/fsl-community-bsp/sources/meta-fsl-arm/recipes-kernel/linux/
linux-imx_2.6.35.3.bb, do_menuconfig)
NOTE: package linux-imx-2.6.35.3-r42.15: task do_menuconfig: Started
NOTE: package linux-imx-2.6.35.3-r42.15: task do_menuconfig: Succeeded
NOTE: Tasks Summary: Attempted 248 tasks of which 247 didn't need to be
rerun and all succeeded.

Any idea what's going on?  I've tried this from both Ubuntu 12.10 and
(since I got a compatibility warning) 12.04, same problem.

Let me know if there is a better place to send my question.

Thanks
Jess

Have you run through the configure step previously?

I'd try this sequence:
   $ bitbake virtual/kernel -c configure
   $ bitbake virtual/kernel -c menuconfig
   $ bitbake virtual/kernel

Thanks for the response, Gary.

When I try:
   bitbake virtual/kernel -c configure

I get:
...
ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'virtual-kernel'
...

So when I try this:
   bitbake linux-imx -c configure
it completes without an error, but doesn't appear to show me the UI to
configure the kernel.  The next step:
   bitbake virtual/kernel -c menuconfig
behaves the same as before; another window appears and disappears quickly.
  bitbake linux-imx
Is still running; I'm not sure what it's doing but it hasn't shown me any
UI.

Looks like this is a typo.  Be sure and use 'virtual/kernel' with a SLASH

Yup, it was a typo.  In this context, what's the difference between
virtual/kernel and linux-imx?  Are these build targets, or bitbake recipes?
 Sorry for the newb questions.

I understand this way, linux-imx is one implementation of
virtual/kernel. Take a look on the following files:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-fsl-arm/tree/conf/machine/include/fsl-default-providers.inc
where linux-imx is defided the "preferred implementation to be used"
for virtual/kernel.


http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-fsl-arm/tree/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-imx.inc
the file is included in linux-imx recipe, and it "inherit kernel" and
it determinates that the recipe provides virtual/kernel

You can always try "bitbake -c devshell linux-imx" followed by "make
menuconfig" in the devshell.

Is this gnome-terminal by any chance? If it is, try switching Yocto to
using xterm by adding OE_TERMINAL = "xterm" to your local.conf.
