Crashing Always on Ubuntuu 14.10

[adeekshith]

I have built finalterm from source and it is crashing always. I could never type a character till now. As soon as I press the keyboard, it crashes on me. Please fix this or let me know if there is any workaround. Thanks.

Could you provide some more information? What errors are displayed? Do you have all the dependencies installed?

Have you tried: https://launchpad.net/~fuzzgun/+archive/ubuntu/finalterm/+packages

@nashley I am not sure about dependencies but I believe I have all the dependencies as I could build and execute it. Here is what I get in the terminal after the crash.

** Message: Partially supported control sequence: '\u001b]0;deekshith@deekshith-ub: ~\u0007' (TERMINAL_STREAM_STREAM_ELEMENT_CONTROL_SEQUENCE_TYPE_SET_TEXT_PARAMETERS)
** Message: TerminalOutput.vala:386: Command mode entered

@artmartz I will try this now and let you know the status. Thank you. :)

Which desktop environment and window manager do you use? In case it's just vanilla Ubuntu, do you have the proprietary or open source graphics drivers (note that Final Term uses hardware acceleration based on Clutter, so this matters quite a lot)?

[adeekshith]

@artmartz It does not work with the binary which you pointed to as it needs a dependency libcogl15 which I could not install. I tried to install libcogl15 but it is showing an error when installing from a .deb package. I get the following when I use apt-get to install libcogl15:

Package libcogl15 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

@p-e-w I am on vanilla Ubuntu 14.10 and using default drivers. It does not show any additional drivers for my hardware.

Should the Ubuntu package be changed to depend on libcogl20 instead?

I originally installed finalterm on Ubuntu 14.04, using native
Unity, and it continues to work on 14.10.  I must have already
installed whatever dependencies Final Term was looking for.

I have v16 on Fedora 20 and it works without problems. If requiring a newer version fixes the bug, then the answer is probably yes.

Isn't it related to: https://github.com/p-e-w/finalterm/issues/364 ?

@golimpio: Might be, and indeed also to https://github.com/p-e-w/finalterm/issues/386.
