why am I have KDE terminal in my guake terminal ?

#1 Post by shirish »

I am on Debian testing. While logging into today's session, saw that while it says guake terminal and even have the guake terminal app. icon in my notification area and the basic keyboard shortcuts for guake are there, but for some reason KDE terminal is there on the CLI. Can somebody tell me what is going on ?

Can you cut out the teenage style thousand question marks? That's super annoying and makes people not want to reply to you. Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

The files that run your programmes from a menu are stored in /usr/share/applications . The individual links end in .desktop . I assume it's called guake.desktop or something similar. You can have a look if this was changed somehow to run KDE terminal or something?

Also, users can make their own .desktop files in $HOME/.local/share/applications .

This is how it looks like -

Code: Select all

/usr/share/applications$ cat guake.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Guake Terminal
Comment=Use the command line in a Quake-like terminal
TryExec=guake
Exec=guake
Icon=guake
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;GTK;System;Utility;TerminalEmulator;

Seems like that should be running guake. But you can check by running the guake command in a different terminal. Maybe errors will appear?

I'm also not sure what the real problem is. I mean, I don't understand what "KDE terminal is there on the CLI" means.

Maybe this will tell what I mean

I dunno if you have used guake or not. FWIW it is a top-down terminal and is basically a gtk2+ terminal emulator. From the long description -

Code: Select all

Guake is a drop-down terminal for GNOME Desktop Environment, so you just need to press a key to invoke him, and press again to hide. Guake supports hotkeys, tabs, background transparent, etc.
Now if you look at the keyboard shortcuts as well as how it looks etc. it is very much different than KDE-terminal. It isn't as if KDE is bad or anything but I prefer guake. Both the way it looks and the k/b shortcuts are different (in guake and KDE terminal) and they behave a tad differently. I guess the above should give some more clarity.

Yeah, I remember Guake. That is certainly weird. As though guake is a symlink to konsole

That is precisely the issue. I had actually tried to figure that out and even the binary is where it is supposed to be -

Code: Select all

$ ls -l /usr/bin/guake
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 159 Nov  7 21:06 /usr/bin/guake

Or did you pick a gtk theme that mimicks KDE?

Don't think so, although dunno how I would search that. And this is on a mate-session. The whole mate UI. So unless there is something i missed I have no clue :(

KDE stuff is installed. I somehow need to figure out how to tell guake not to let KDE terminal run in it. How to tell that is a mystery to me yet as on this reboot, the KDE terminal stuff is back in this session :(

Some more info.

Code: Select all

$guake --version
Guake Terminal: 3.8.1
VTE: 0.66.2
VTE runtime: 0.66.2
Gtk: 3.24.30

Sounds weird that Guake would even do that.

Have you scanned through all of the guake settings to see if any of them reference konsole?

Which settings and where ? The only other one which could have something is -

Code: Select all

~/.config/guake$ cat session.json
{
    "schema_version": 2,
    "timestamp": 1640807390,
    "workspace": {
        "0": [
            [
                {
                    "panes": [
                        {
                            "type": "term",
                            "directory": "/home/shirish",
                            "custom_colors": {
                                "fg_color": null,
                                "bg_color": null,
                                "palette": null
                            }
                        }
                    ],
                    "label": "shirish@debian: ~/Videos",
                    "custom_label_set": false
                }
            ]
        ]
    }
}
Now apart from the number of open and closed brackets don't see anything in the session.json that talks of konsole :(

Two things to check:
I guess you are using a keyboard shortcut to drop down the terminal. Are you sure the shortcut points to the right terminal program?
Do you have a guake.desktop file in your home directory overriding the one in "/usr/share/..."?

At least do OP the favour and read the entire thread. :D We've been over the guake.desktop thing.

If you right click on the guake icon in the system tray and then select preferences.
