SOS! Can not debug (codelite 6, Mint Linux Quiana)

[Ralf Jahns]

Hello,

when I try to run the debugger, I only get this message:

These settings always worked for me with codelite 5.x:

The log shows this:

Code: Select all

CodeLite version: 6.0.1-1.trusty

[ 13:27:59:243 DBG ] search_process_by_command is called
[ 13:27:59:256 DBG ] ZombieReaperPOSIX: process 9076 exited with status code 32512
[ 13:27:59:316 DBG ] search_process_by_command is called

The last line is repeated 100 times.

Thank you very much for your time and efforts in advance.
Ralf

Hi,

At a guess. sudo apt-get install xterm. (Or possibly gnome-terminal.)

Regards,

Like David suggested: you need to install xterm.
The Terminal settings does not work with the debugger

Thank you for your reply.

gnome-terminal is the standard terminal for cinnamon desktop (as far as I know) and it worked with codlite 5.x.
I will try xterm tomorrow.

Installing xterm did the job. Thank you.
(Installing gnome-terminal is not necessary because it is the standard cinnamon terminal, as I mentioned)

I switched from Mint Linux Maya (derived from ubuntu 12.04) to Mint Linux Quiana (derived from ubuntu 14.04) and from codelite 5.x to codelite 6.x. Perhaps I installed xterm "unintentionally" when I used Mint Linux Maya or it was part of the default installation or codelite behaved different - I don't know.

Yours sincerely

One of the changes that came along with codelite 6.0 - is to reduce the headache of detecting your "favorite" terminal emulator. and xterm is now required on all Linux distros
(its the lowest common denominator terminal

You can configure xterm to look and behave like a modern terminal following these instructions:

It might be your apt settings. The CodeLite deb 'Recommends' xterm. From the Debian Policy Manual:
"The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations."

AFAIK this means it will normally be installed as a dependency; but a user can tell apt globally to ignore 'Recommends', which it can't do for 'Depends'.
