Did you run Geany as root using `sudo` and is your `sudo` configured to not change the `$HOME` variable to the target user's one? See https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1150#issuecomment-235136084 and also other duplicates: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1615 https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3880 https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1411 Geany is not tested to be safe to run as root or via `sudo`. But if you, ensure that your `sudo` set the `$HOME` environment variable properly. > There is a difference in the terminal prompts—bash-5.3$ in Geany and > [username@localhost ~]$ in other editors. That means Geany messed up users > directory. Can you give more details on this? How did you configure the terminal shell to start (in the Preferences dialog, "Terminal" tab)? What do the following commands output in Geany's terminal and "other editors"? `who` `echo $SHELL` -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/4456#issuecomment-3538555764 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
