Empty terminal when debugging
« on: May 02, 2016, 03:47:52 pm »
I change terminal to launch console programs to: gnome-terminal --disable-factory -t $TITLE -x
without --disable-factory crashes when debugging
problem: terminal is empty when debugging

Can you explain the problem with more details? Post some logs, screen shots?

Removing --disable-factory on modern gnome-terminals is not a good idea.

That's wrong, because "--disable-factory" does not exist in recent versions of gnome-shell and leads to an error.

jens@laptop:~$ LC_ALL="C" gnome-terminal --disable-factory
Failed to parse arguments: Option "--disable-factory" is no longer supported in this version of gnome-terminal.

But it depends of course on the version the OP uses.

Bleh, I'm not using any of the modern gnome-terminals and I've forgotten about this change. :)

Anyway C::B should work fine without using this option even on older gnome-terminals and we've removed it from the settings.
