GitBrowser for Linux (terminal not found)

[euneuber (Eugen Neuber)]

Hi, nice to see you expanding to the Linux world!

I don’t like to complain, but I found an issue. Seems you are expecting a GNOME desktop at the users PC/notebook – I’m using KDE, so I get an error when trying to open a terminal for a repo:

UnhandledException - unhandled exception: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (2): An error occurred trying to start process ‘gnome-terminal’ with work

This could be easily solved by a config option to enter a path to the terminal program (there are more then gnome-terminal and konsole, e.g. kitty and ghostty)

And please show errors to the user – don’t just close the program without further notice.

kind regards from an OpenSuse Tumbleweed user, Eugen

thanx! We’ll have a look at this and get this fixed ASAP (not for today’s buld though, that’s altaedy off to the press).

Agreed and agreed!

You’re in luck. An unrelated thing caused me to have to restart today’s builds, and this fix made it in!

[euneuber (Eugen Neuber)]

Thank you for your fast response.

Unfortunately I now (after another download and install as your download page requested, reinstall ) get:

even with the new setting:

and a restart of the program gitbrowser.

What did I miss?

@euneuber

What did I miss?

Not sure; this might be specific to your exact setup. What exact OS are you using?

The path that it mentions oas not found in the error message, is that correct and does it exist?

[mh (marc hoffman)]

I’m told this is fixed for tomorrow’s update.
