[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Execute not working (#1019)

[Colomban Wendling]

try changing it to `xterm -e "/bin/sh %c"`.  our default uses `xterm`, but some OS like Debian change it to `x-terminal-emulator` to try and use the user's preferred one.  This is good in theory, but the wrapper is not good when it maps to some non-xterm-like terminals, including Konsole among others IIRC.  It might be possible to use your preferred terminal anyway, but it might require using a slightly tuned command.
