Terminal doesn't work in Ubuntu Unity 24.10

Hello, I recently installed ecode on an Ubuntu Unity 24.10 installation through the AppImage; i copied the AppImage to the /usr/local/bin directory and installed libfuse2t64.

Here's a screenshot:

Mmhh that's odd, maybe you can try to configure a different shell in Settings -> Terminal -> Configure Terminal Shell. It looks like the shell isn't responding. I don't have Ubuntu 24.10 installed, I'll check just in case (in 24.04 works just fine).

[fmixolydian]

Yeah, I did that. I chose /usr/bin/bash. Also, I'm in the process of installing the tar.gz version. I hope that'll work better.

[fmixolydian]

Nope... the tar.gz version is still broken.

Also, it used to work in my previous Debian 12 installation. I'm using the same computer, but with a different hard drive. Just in case, here's the output of uname -a:

Linux <...> 6.11.0-9-generic #9-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Oct 14 13:19:59 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It could also be a problem with Unity DE, perharps.

I can reproduce the issue on Ubuntu 24.10. So I'll investigate. I've no idea what's going on, also the window manager change the colors of the app to match the default theme WTF.

Oh, it's crazy, if you wait long enough (a few minutes) the shell will end up loading, it also the forked process will use 100% of the CPU while "loads". There's something really wrong.

Found the issue, will push a fix later.

I can confirm this is the truth.

For several minutes, the fans are pretty loud (they're usually silent), and one core is always at 100%.

Edit: it seems it took 10 minutes for the shell to load.
This repeats with every terminal instance.

I just pushed a fix. You'll be able to get the nightly build in about 15 minutes from this message.

[fmixolydian]

Nice. I can confirm that it works now. Thanks.
