Guake: Exit freezes guake

Created on 18 May 2018  路  5Comments  路  Source: Guake/guake

Guake Version: 3.0.5 - 1
System: Ubuntu 18.04 with GNOME 3.28

Whenever I type exit into guake the main tab freezes and can only close the drop-down terminal. If I want to use guake again I must kill it in other terminal.

This bug was affecting me as well, running on a pretty clean Ubuntu 18.04 install. I haven't tried installing it from source, as I prefer to get my packages from the apt repos when I can, though I'm sure it'd work just fine. But another way to fix this, after reading the patch, is to install libutempter0.

sudo apt-get install libutempter0 and the problem should go right away.

Should be fixed on HEAD

I dont know what means HEAD, but I actually reinstalled guake just to update it and the problem is still there. What should I do?

can you try installing from source code (HEAD means the current version of the source)

How about adding this dependency to Ubuntu package? It still freezes and isn't fixed
