Hello, meanwhile the xterm problem is discussed since quite a while — it’s time to give an explanation:
Indeed giving Full Disk Access to /bin/bash is the correct solution. Why? Well, assuming the standard location for XQuartz, look at /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/Info.plist. Under the key CFBundleExecutable you will find the value X11 which is /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11. The command „file /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11“ returns „/Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11: Bourne-Again shell script text executable, ASCII text“, so X11 is actually not a binary but a shell script. Open it with your favourite text editor. The first line reads „#!/bin/bash“, so eventually /bin/bash is executed upon opening (double-clicking) XQuartz. All further X11 processes are child processes to it and inherit the Full Disk Access right. Best regards, Burkhard. ___________________________________________________________ Dr. Burkhard Schmidt * <https://www.cpfs.mpg.de/~bs> Max-Planck-Institut für chemische Physik fester Stoffe Nöthnitzer Str. 40 * 01187 Dresden * Tel. +49 351 4646-2235 > Am 12.02.2020 um 16:24 schrieb Jamie Kennea via X11-users > <x11-users@lists.apple.com>: > > I can confirm that this solution works for me also. > > No idea why, as I too use tcsh as my default shell, and the default Catalina > shell is zsh, but whatever, I can now enter my download folder on a xterm > again, so great. > > Jamie > > >> On Feb 7, 2020, at 5:40 AM, Ben Kilminster via X11-users >> <x11-users@lists.apple.com> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> I found a solution that worked, which was recommended on the "macOS >> Catalina" forum at discussions.apple.com : >> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251027260?answerId=252097327022 >> >> The solution is to give "Full Disk Access" to /bin/bash.
