why am I have KDE terminal in my guake terminal ?
why am I have KDE terminal in my guake terminal ?
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 ?

Re: why am I have KDE terminal in my giake terminal ????
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.

Done, but doesn't answer the question sadly

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 .

Re: why am I have KDE terminal in my guake terminal ?
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.

Re: why am I have KDE terminal in my guake terminal ?
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 -
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.

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.

Re: why am I have KDE terminal in my guake terminal ?
Yeah, I remember Guake. That is certainly weird. As though guake is a symlink to konsole

Re: why am I have KDE terminal in my guake terminal ?
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

Re: why am I have KDE terminal in my guake terminal ?
Or did you pick a gtk theme that mimicks KDE?

Re: why am I have KDE terminal in my guake terminal ?
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

Re: why am I have KDE terminal in my guake terminal ?
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

Re: why am I have KDE terminal in my guake terminal ?
Sounds weird that Guake would even do that.

Re: why am I have KDE terminal in my guake terminal ?
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": [

"custom_colors": {

"bg_color": null,
"palette": null
}
}
],
"label": "shirish@debian: ~/Videos",
"custom_label_set": false
}
]
]
}
}

Re: why am I have KDE terminal in my guake terminal ?
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/..."?

Re: why am I have KDE terminal in my guake terminal ?
At least do OP the favour and read the entire thread. We've been over the guake.desktop thing.

Re: why am I have KDE terminal in my guake terminal ?
If you right click on the guake icon in the system tray and then select preferences.
