Malfunction and Unresponsive #444

Open captsisko opened 3 years ago

captsisko commented 3 years ago

Tilda had been working just fine over months. Then I installed Zsh to take advantage of it's features but there were complications in using Zsh so I performed an apt-get remove --purge successfully.

The next time I interacted with Tilda I found all the currend directory text was missing and it did not output my key strokes. All that is visible is a blinking prompt.

I have also removed the configuration files in the system but nothing helps.

Curiously, Tilda still slides down beautifully when I hit my hotkey but it does absolutely nothing else.

How can I fix this, please ?

Tilda tries to get the default shell from the $SHELL environment variable. Is it possible that changed and tilda cannot start a shell anymore? Try to configure a custom command to start /bin/bash if nothing else works.
