Version: 1.0.158 Platform: Linux x64 5.14.7-198.current Plugins: theme-gruvbox, relaxed-theme, clickable-links Frontend: xterm

Distribution: Solus

Install has no built in profiles and is unable to open any terminal tabs

I've also installed Tabby on a Windows 10 desktop. It has the expected built in profiles, and is able to create new profiles and open new tabs as expected. I installed from tarball for Linux since there is no package in the Solus repo.

I'm happy to provide any additional information that might help troubleshoot and resolve this issue.

Installation

I had downloaded the tarball from github and untarred it in a subdirectory under ~/bin/ Running it with ./tabby in that directory opened Tabby as expected Since I didn't see any install docs or README file, it doesn't appear I needed to do anything else to complete the install from source.

Issues

Clicking "New Terminal" on the main screen does nothing
The "new terminal" and "new tab with profile" buttons do nothing.
In Settings - Profiles there are no profiles listed under "Built-in" as there are on Windows Clicking "New profile" brings up a dialog that wants me to "Select a base profile to use as a template" but since there are none, this dialog doesn't do anything. I'm unable to create a profile.
Under Settings - Config file, clicking "Show config file" briefly brings up a Dolphin file manager window to ~/.config/tabby which immediately closes. I verified that directory does exist:

Expected behavior:

The default profiles are provided in the tarball and displayed in the UI. If any extra steps are necessary to complete the install from tarball are documented in an easy to find place.
