Hi, a blank terminal appears with a heading of "geany_run_script_RCK23Y.sh", the last 5 characters before the suffix being random on each execution. The debug messages that appear around the time of execution are: "10:32:59: Geany INFO : Added filetype CUDA (65). 10:32:59: Geany INFO : Added filetype Cython (66). 10:32:59: Geany INFO : Added filetype Graphviz (67). 10:32:59: Geany INFO : Loaded libvte from libvte.so.9 10:32:59: Geany INFO : /home/mw/c++_Learn/learn2_c++/sqlapi/ora_ref_cursor.cpp : C++ (UTF-8) 10:32:59: Geany INFO : Loaded /usr/share/geany/tags/std99.c.tags (C), 1619 symbol(s). 10:32:59: Geany INFO : /home/mw/c++_Learn/learn2_c++/sqlapi/ora_connect.cpp : C++ (UTF-8) 10:32:59: Geany INFO : /home/mw/c++_Learn/learn2_c++/sqlapi/pg_connect_test.cpp : C++ (UTF-8) 10:32:59: fcitx-connection DEBUG : _fcitx_connection_bus_finished" When I run the compiled and linked binary from a bash shell , then it executes as expected, but when executed with F5 from the geany the blank terminal appears. This is the behaviour in Lubuntu running in VirtualBox, but on Ubuntu it executes in geany as expected. There is no error message it seems.

( I think different user threads are getting mixed in some of these emails. Some simply have no application to my issue.)

@Brush: "Have you tried running the script from a regular terminal (or even Geany's builtin terminal in the message window)?" Perhaps I made this overly complicated. My scripts work perfectly. I have fifteen of them for different current working library sets. My scripts are not a problem. Those consoles/terminals work no problem. No blocking. Only when starting a console from geany. ---------------------------------------------- I do not use F5 key. When starting a new instance of geany, this is the command line: geany -i --config=/rdkl/.config/geany I work from multiple systems; this helps keep them all the same. Not perfect, but better. Version is 1.27 ------------------------------------------- @Trotman(7/26): "Because the output of build commands is parsed and displayed in the compiler output tab only one build command can be running at a time or their output will get mixed up and confused." per geany instance only, right? "So the build menu is blocked whilst a command is running. So as I said before, the command needs to start your terminal as a detached process and exit immediately to get the menu back. Did you try using &? On *x commands are run in sh so it should work." re: & Yes, did that - no defference. Normally: I have unchecked 'Load virtual terminal support' I have unchecked 'msgwin_compiler_visible' I have unchecked 'msgwin_scribble_visible' -------------------- -------------------- Starting fresh this am: Single instance of geany: I re-enabled 'msgwin_compiler_visible' Dropped geany restarted - verified 'msgwin_compiler_visible' enabled Looked at the debug messages screen - no sign of a problem. Loaded one project. project build section looks like: [build-menu] NF_03_LB=console NF_03_CM=lxterminal --geometry=130x30& --working-directory=%d NF_03_WD= My geany .config build section looks like: [build-menu] number_ft_menu_items=0 number_non_ft_menu_items=0 NF_02_LB=file manager NF_02_CM=pcmanfm& NF_02_WD= NF_03_LB=console NF_03_CM=lxterminal --geometry=130x30& --working-directory=%d& NF_03_WD= number_exec_menu_items=0 click 'console' button in build drop down compiler message window: lxterminal --geometry=130x30& --working-directory=/rdkl/FB_common/defines (in directory: /rdkl/FB_common/defines) /bin/sh: 1: --working-directory=/rdkl/FB_common/defines: not found /usr/share/themes/Lubuntu-dark-panel/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:682: Unable to find include file: "apps/xfce4-notifyd.rc" However, the terminal did start in the correct directory. Leave this up, change desktop, open a second geany instance, load a profile, start a console compiler message window: lxterminal --geometry=130x30& --working-directory=/rdkl/FB_generic/rlib_small& (in directory: /rdkl/FB_generic/rlib_small) /bin/sh: 1: --working-directory=/rdkl/FB_generic/rlib_small: not found Compilation finished successfully. console opened correctly no status indicator, no build menu block First instance of geany still up, console running, build menu blocked drop console in that first instance, the status indicator stays, build menu still blocked. Drop geany - reopen. (second geany instance still open) drop console on second geany instance now: Whichever geany I open a console on, it will block - the other will open correctly David On Thu, Jul 27, 2017 at 4:15 AM, Lex Trotman <elextr(a)gmail.com> wrote: -- If you don't try - you lose - automatically. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users

Hi Lex libvte occurs on both systems, Lubuntu 17.04: $ sudo find / -type f -name "libvte.so.*" 2>/dev/null /usr/lib/libvte.so.9.2800.2 Ubuntu 17.04 $ sudo find / -type f -name "libvte.so.*" 2>/dev/null /usr/lib/libvte.so.9.2800.2 "Preferences->Terminal->Execute Programs in VTE" on Ubuntu is not checked and it runs fine. It is not checked in Lubuntu either. I created a link in Lubuntu, as suggested in the geany documentation, as follows: $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/dpkg/libvte.so.9.2800.2 /usr/lib/dpkg/libvte.so I then checked "Preferences->Terminal->Execute Programs in VTE", and then, following a successful compile/link, the execution output in the Terminal tab is as follows: mw@mw:~$ cd '/home/mw/c++_Learn/learn2_c++/sqlapi' mw@mw:~/c++_Learn/learn2_c++/sqlapi$ mw@mw:~/c++_Learn/learn2_c++/sqlapi$ /bin/sh /tmp/geany_run_script_HZ143Y.sh /tmp/geany_run_script_HZ143Y.sh: 7: /tmp/geany_run_script_HZ143Y.sh: bash ora_connect: not found ------------------ (program exited with code: 127) Yet I am able to execute from the binary from a bash shell command line: mw@mw:~$ cd c++_Learn/learn2_c++/sqlapi mw@mw:~/c++_Learn/learn2_c++/sqlapi$ ./ora_connect Row : count = 0 Rows selected!
