When starting termite, the following error is displayed:

thread 'main' panicked at 'unknown shell: "/bin/bash". Supported shells: bash, ion, powershell', src/main.rs:69:25

I had a look at the config file but I found no option to set a particular shell. My user is using /bin/bash - the following shells are listed in /etc/shells:

/bin/sh
/bin/bash
/usr/bin/git-shell

I'm using termite v15 on the latest Manjaro ARM edition.

Am I missing something here? Sorry if this is dumb question - I just started with termite.

Looks like this is a bash related problem in Manjaro - I switched to zsh and the error disappeared.

Affected versions:

$ bash --version
GNU bash, Version 5.1.4(1)-release (aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu)
...
$ LANG=C pacman -Ss bash
core/bash 5.1.004-1 [installed]
    The GNU Bourne Again shell
