[snap] Most shells not working

[SplittyDev]

Hey, I wanted to give terminus a try but can't open a new terminal tab. The shell list is empty for me; I tried to add zsh manually but couldn't figure out how to properly add it to the configuration file.

OS: Ubuntu 18.10 Shells: sh, bash, zsh Default shell: zsh

Could you please check the debug console for errors? https://github.com/Eugeny/terminus/wiki/Debug-logs

Apparently, terminus doesn't have sufficient permissions.

I just tried running with sudo, but then I get the following:

splitty in ~ λ sudo terminus

I'm sure the second error has to do with snaps though, so that's probably not specific to terminus.

I just removed the snap and reinstalled it with the --classic flag, which fixed the issue described above. However, I still can't open a new terminal tab. All my shells are shown now, but as soon as I open a terminal tab it instantly closes.

Here's the relevant log:

[terminal] Starting shell /bin/zsh {id: "/bin/zsh", name: "/bin/zsh", command: "/bin/zsh", args: Array(1)}

[SplittyDev]

After playing around with the settings, this problem doesn't seem to be affecting all shells.

The following shells work for me:

• /bin/bash
• /bin/rbash

The following shells don't work:

• /bin/sh
• /bin/dash
• /bin/zsh, /usr/bin/zsh

So it really only works for bash, all other shells fail for unknown reasons.

[Eugeny]

Could you please compare this behaviour with the deb / standalone tgz builds?

[SplittyDev]

Using the deb package, everything works as expected.

I found another issue with the snap package while testing the deb package: Plugins aren't fetched from the plugin repository in the snap version.

I was surprised when I saw the section for downloadable plugins, in the snap version that just isn't there.

I could open a separate issue for that, but I think it's probably related to the same root cause so I'm not sure if that's needed

+1 using snap package to install ,and can't add new terminal. Also, can't find npm which has already installed. OS: ubuntu 18.10 terminus version: Alpha 71

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed in two weeks unless you comment. Thank you for your contributions.

I'm currently having issues with zsh (default shell). When I click "New terminal", it briefly opens a new tab before closing it right away.

If you want a thing done well, do it yourself. Napoleon Bonaparte
