The segfaults in the help is a known problem and fixed in the latest version in testing. Thanks for you clarification. /Willem

Bug#890600: gtkterm: No prompt
Hi I may have misunderstood the purpose of gtkterm, as there is another program with the same name, described like this: "GTKTerm is a small graphical shell like XTerm." https://sourceforge.net/projects/gtkterm/ I was mistakenly expecting GTKTerm to be a terminal emulator and was expecting it to show a prompt. Something that may have contributed to my confusion is the fact that GTKTerm segfaults when clicking in the "Help" menu, and that the service, on which the project web site in listed the GTKTerm man page ( https://fedorahosted.org/gtkterm/ ) is hosted, has been discontinued. -- Pelle Hjek h...@member.fsf.org https://news.hjek.tk On Fri, Feb 16, 2018 at 07:01:14PM +0100, Willem van den Akker wrote: > On Fri, 2018-02-16 at 18:44 +0200, Adrian Bunk wrote: > > Control: severity -1 grave > > > > On Fri, Feb 16, 2018 at 05:04:13PM +0100, Willem van den Akker wrote: > > > Hello Pelle, > > > > > > Please notice you are using reporting against an older version. > > > The latest version has many updates. > > >... > > > > This is the version in stable. > > > > This is the version normal users are expected to use, > > and it is supported by Debian until 2020. > > > > I cannot comment on the contents of this bug, but if it is as broken as > > it sounds this might be an RC issue in stable that should be fixed by > > the maintainer for stable. > > > > > Greetings > > > Willem vdAkker > > > > cu > > Adrian > > > > Ok, point taken :) > > Hello Pelle, > > Can you describe the situatie when the failure is shown? > What is connected to which serial port.
