I'd like to understand some more how File Manager and Terminal are
broken for you but work fine for everyone else.

Which phone do you have? Make/Model?
What version of Ubuntu do you have on it? (System settings -> About
phone, or "adb shell" to the phone and run 'system-image-cli --info)
What exactly happens when you try and start File Manager or Terminal.

Could you maybe launch one of the broken ones and grab the log file
from the device?

adb shell
cd ~/.cache/upstart

look for the files with terminal / filemanager in the name...

cat file.log | nc termbin.com 9999

Then give us the URL.

Thanks,
