Do any errors show up when you click install?

Also, is your Pi-Apps fully up-to-date?

I suggest you run ~/pi-apps/uninstall and follow the install procedures again.

Your version of Pi-Apps is probably out of date. Please uninstall Pi-Apps, and then install Pi-Apps.

I am using Raspberry Pi OS Buster It's new and updated pls check why not working the os is officiall os made by Raspberry Pi

Okay, now please run this command in a terminal:

/home/pi/pi-apps/gui

That will run Pi-Apps as normal, but now the terminal will catch any errors.
Please copy out the full terminal output and post it here.

@gilesn That is a very useful error output! Thanks for sharing.

Basically, whenever Pi-Apps wants to open a terminal, it uses a command called x-terminal-emulator. This command launches the default terminal emulator for the OS.
Raspbian has lxterminal as default.
TwisterOS uses xfce4-terminal.
Other OS'es use mate-terminal.
Apparently your OS uses xterm.

Looks like xterm doesn't know what to do with the --title flag. Interesting.
Looks like I'll have to revisit the terminal-running code, and have it change the command based on which terminal x-terminal-emulator chooses to use.

In the meantime @gilesn , you can set lxterminl back to being the default terminal by running this:

sudo apt install --reinstall lxterminal

Turns out #90 was caused by this same issue.

The OP in that issue report has lxterm (xterm, same thing) as their default terminal.

Okay, I think I've fixed this issue as of commit 7d37454.

Great, it's working so I'll leave my default terminal as-is.

I was trying to install an app, any from Pi-apps list, and it says:

Using LXterminal:

cat: /home/pi/Downloads/git/pi-apps/data/status/FreeCAD: Directory or folder doesn't exist.

And running XTerm terminal instead:
Timestamp match.
Reading list file...

Of course, doesn't happen. Any app wasn't installing. Should I reinstall the Pi-app? How can I do that??

Also, trying installing Zoom: (using the same Xterm)
cat: /home/pi/Downloads/git/pi-apps/data/installed-packages/Zoom: Directory or folder doesn't exist.
cat: /home/pi/Downloads/git/pi-apps/data/status/Zoom: Directory or folder doesn't exist.

Unfortunately, neither of those error messages is particularly helpful.
@fabianmendes Could you try installing Pi-Apps using the official install instructions?

git clone https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps
~/pi-apps/install

Sure, I will. Thanks for replying so fast!! Otherwise, I've just edited my last comment. May you please look forward to it?

I'll run that code.:

should I reinstall the already installed apps? (They appear on the GUI Pi-Apps as they aren't installed)

No, they are actually installed, but Pi-Apps doesn't know better.

Simply copy over your old data directory from your old location to the new one.
Something like this:

gio trash /home/pi/pi-apps/data/status
cp -a /home/pi/Downloads/git/pi-apps/data/status /home/pi/pi-apps/data

The first command moves the empty data directory to Trash, and the command command copies the new version.

It's happening the same thing :L
And at first, I've tried to install TBOplayer, and on the very first try it said Permisson Denied, then I've run Pi-apps GUI from the terminal using sudo, and then try out to install TBOplaye again but it gave me the next same message:
cat: /home/pi/Downloads/git/pi-apps/data/status/TBOPlaye: Directory or folder doesn't exist.
(I'm trying to install ZOOM and TBOPlayer)

That's strange. Did you select TBOPlayer from the Pi-Apps list, and then click the Install button?

Maybe it didn't install correctly. Please open a new issue for that.

I haven't found anybody who understands what @CoderLogy is talking about, so I'm closing this issue for now.

@CoderLogy if you're still having a problem with Pi-Apps, please open a new issue and explain exactly what is going on for you.
