Description Matthew Crews 2020-01-22 03:25:17 UTC
Description of problem:

The default installation of Geany calls for using "xterm" as its default term, however by default Fedora 31 does not install xterm. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 

1.36

How reproducible:

Default configuration

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Geany, open preferences (Ctrl+Alt+P)
2. Default terminal application is pre-populated with expression:
xterm -e "/bin/sh %c"

Actual results:

When executing a script that opens the terminal, Geany errors due to xterm not existing. Example error message:

20:12:04: Cannot execute build command "xterm -e "/bin/sh /tmp/geany_run_script_Z5XTE0.sh"": No such file or directory. Check the Terminal setting in Preferences

Expected results:

Geany pre-selects default terminal for system, which is gnome-terminal

Additional info:

Its simple for the user to change this default preference.

Comment 1 Dominic Hopf 2020-05-18 20:51:13 UTC
Geany for example is also installed on the Fedora Xfce spin by default and there is no gnome-terminal on the Xfce spin, of course. Thus, setting gnome-terminal to the default isn't a good idea I guess. The only thing I could suggest for convenience is to add a requirement (or recommends) on xterm so installing Geany pulls in (or recommends) xterm. Does that sound like a suitable solution for you?

Comment 2 Matthew Crews 2020-05-18 21:02:21 UTC
Dominic, either-or would be fine by me.
