Terminator crashes 1-10 seconds after opening #281
Comments
It seems to be related to a particular configuration. i.e. have a particular config in place (4 windows, auto-start a script), then open config, don't save anything (though |
Completely re-configured the environment, and it continues to work without issues. In conclusion, it must be something in the config file which is updated when the configuration window opens and closes, or when terminal groups are updated, and then perhaps in combination with some backword compatibility or similar. I can perhaps upload the crashing config file. |
Steps to reproduce (steps 8 and onwards are cleanup)

I'll take a look at this when I get the chance, but if you could run terminator at another command prompt by opening up gnome-terminal and running Also, can you run |
also had this problem (with terminator 2.0.1 on Ubuntu 20.10), renaming my config file and creating a new one (setting new preferences) seemed to solve. These are my config files: https://gist.github.com/derenv/3a9ece6dc7980c4e0afe773bd3b4ca7f I recently upgraded the terminator version, could that be affecting it? The crash tended to crash the entirety of GNOME shell too, especially if loads of other programs are running. |
Tried it with both config files and they both worked fine on my 20.04.1 VM. @RoelVdP's config had a |
Hmm, I don't see anything unusual in that debug output. Did you close it yourself, or did it close through some other method? |
once it crashes terminator restarts (with the 1-10 second delay) and a new window spawns then works normally, at which point i closed it myself. |
Hmm, I don't see it crashing at all. When the new window spawns, is there new debug output in the window that you originally launched it from? I wish I could reproduce. |
nah, it seems to maintain the debug output of the initial window (the quit proccess part at the end of that gist is me closing the new window). this has been bugging me (ha) for a while im just glad a new config file fixes it. |
The only thing I can think of doing from here is going through the old config file line-by-line and seeing which line causes the problem. |
Found the culprit!
@RoelVdP can you try to remove that line from yours and see if that fixes it for you too? |
Thank you so much for this! |
No, still crashes when I remove the 3x 'maximised = True'. It also has nothing to do with the '~/s', that is just a script and it does not loop. I removed 'use_custom_command' as well as 'custom_command` from the config file completely, to be sure and it still crashes all the same. 1-3 seconds before crash. |
And end of log:

can you make sure you're passing -u, so |
Closing |
Already tried:
sudo apt -y purge terminator && sudo apt -y install terminator
-> Same resultsudo apt -y purge terminator && git clone https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator.git &&
{install deps}&&
{compile & install}Same result after all attempts to fix
Issue started happening today with no real clear change in the setup other then perhaps creating some groups and then closing/re-opening terminator.
Grabbing the window by the title bar (mouse left-click + drag) seems to make the issue produce immediately.
Also, when it crashes, the process keeps running though the terminal window itself is gone. No output in
dmesg
and not sure where else to look for logs. Killing the process (-9) and re-opening has no effect, issues reproduces again and again after a few seconds.Please assist, I use terminator very often for work.
