Please actually run ~/pi-apps/api get_device_info in a terminal and send the output back. It seems that your system is out of the ordinary - probably not a supported system, but if there is an easy fix we can see what can be done for you.

I had same problem on a 8gb PI5 with a brand new load of pi-apps. Here's my device info:

@dkuenzi1, do you also get the terminal-run: No terminal detected as it never created the pid file within 10 seconds. error?

dkuenzi1 commented 3 months ago

Yes, same message as the original responder had summited

Same error as above on raspberry pi 4 with up-to-datebookworm.

I saw that this was my default terminal that was picked: Default x-terminal-emulator: gnome-terminal.wrapper I typed that into a terminal but starting it results in a hang (nothing happens anymore). This is valid for gnome-terminal.wrapper as well as gnome-terminal!

AS TEMPORARELY BYPASS I replaced line 46 in file /home//pi-apps/etc/teminal-run as follows and then I could install properly as a terminal was opened!

terminal="$(basename "$(readlink -f "$(command -v x-terminal-emulator)")")"

set terminal = 'lxterminal'

AS A BETTER SOLUTION THAN THE BYPASS ABOVE:

RUN this command and set the default terminal to lxterminal OR the one you want from the list, but not the gnome-terminal(.wrapper)

sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator

It is strange to me that this would be an issue on the default Pi OS. Could one of you affected users run this please? apt-mark showmanual gnome-terminal This command will check if gnome-terminal was manually installed, or if it was automatically installed. If the output was blank, then some other package pulled in gnome-terminal, but if the output returns gnome-terminal, then it means somehow this was manually installed, either by the OS image or by the end user.

that is concerning for different reasons. There isn't any good reason that gnome-terminal shouldn't work on PiOS. It always did previously. If you have a spare SD card, flash the latest bookworm image, update it fully, install gnome-terminal, reboot, and then try to launch gnome-terminal. If it doesn't work then file a bug here https://github.com/raspberrypi/bookworm-feedback/issues

I run bookworm from SSD. I currently use a different terminal. I run sudo apt update almost everyday, so I am up to date.

My local setting was causing the issue. It had to be UTF-8. i had ISO-88xx-x. I forgot the exact number. Solved it via Rasberry Pi Configuration in Menu.

Forgot to mention that the Perl gnome-xterminal.wrapper could not deal with the ISO-88xxx-x setting on my Pi

Non UTF-8 locales are known to cause issues with many applications. PiOS actually set the locale to a non UTF-8 by default in previous releases last year during the wizard (which was a bug). If you are getting a non UTF-8 locale during initial setup of PiOS on the latest release please open a new issue at https://github.com/raspberrypi/bookworm-feedback/issues and refer to https://github.com/raspberrypi/bookworm-feedback/issues/123 because that bug was supposed to have been fixed.
