This seems to also affect me. I have tilda starting up automatically with the Gnome session, but when I push the hotkey, there's no shell (zsh), only a black window. The context menu of the window is working, new tab / close tab are working but no shell appears.
The solution for me was to use properties and to replace the default shell with a custom command, "zsh". This way it's working for me. % dpkg --status tilda Package: tilda Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: x11 Installed-Size: 588 Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <[email protected]> Architecture: i386 Version: 0.09.6-1 Provides: x-terminal-emulator Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.20.0), libc6 (>= 2.4), libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4), libconfuse0 (>= 2.5-1), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.4.0), libfreetype6 (>= 2.3.5), libglade2-0 (>= 1:2.6.1), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0), libgtk2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0), libpango1.0-0 (>= 1.20.2), libvte9 (>= 1:0.16.9), libx11-6, libxft2 (>> 2.1.1), libxml2 (>= 2.6.27), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) % dpkg --status zsh Package: zsh Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: shells Installed-Size: 11540 Maintainer: Ubuntu Core Developers <[email protected]> Architecture: i386 Version: 4.3.6-4ubuntu1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), libcap1, libncursesw5 (>= 5.6+20071006-3) Recommends: libpcre3 (>= 7.4) Suggests: zsh-doc Conflicts: pdksh (<< 5.2.14-18) Conffiles: /etc/zsh/zlogin 48032df2ace0977f2491b016e3c421a3 /etc/zsh/zlogout b73789c3e790b855302ce10ca076037a /etc/zsh/zprofile 58c4f65d775c055b5d80b67c1bd12838 /etc/zsh/zshenv 5a8a0ff4f6ff945a5aa6ba7f6f1e8c97 /etc/zsh/zshrc e069ba51ba293da1aeddd5779324df19 Description: A shell with lots of features Zsh is a UNIX command interpreter (shell) usable as an interactive login shell and as a shell script command processor. Of the standard shells, zsh most closely resembles ksh but includes many enhancements. Zsh has command-line editing, built-in spelling correction, programmable command completion, shell functions (with autoloading), a history mechanism, and a host of other features. Homepage: http://www.zsh.org/ Original-Maintainer: Clint Adams <[email protected]> I've attached a strace log on tilda, with it configured to run the default shell, from a gnome terminal. After pressing the hotkey and waiting for a couple of seconds (tilda window pops up but no zsh), i've ctrl+c'd strace. ** Attachment added: "Output of strace -f on tilda." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21243714/tilda_user.log -- Tilda crashing if user's shell is zsh https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304947 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
