Re: terminator freezes desktop

Hi,

terminator, after years of superb stability, started to freeze my
desktop sometimes.

I have never used it.

This behavior started some 3 months ago.

Freeze happens sometimes when I start another window with
terminator.

Does it look like anything here?

 Debian Bug report logs: Bugs in package terminator
 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=terminator

The only solution is to change to another desktop and from a xterm
'killall terminator', closing all windows with terminator.

checking the logs didn't help.

Not sure what that might mean. Which log files did you examine?

Have you tried to start terminator from a different terminal. Say,
from a VT, like tty3 or something?

 [do Ctl + Alt + F3]
 Debian GNU/Linux 10 yourhostnamehere tty3

 yourhostnamehere login: [log in with username/passwd]

 $ env DISPLAY=:0 terminator --debug # or whatever DISPLAY has your desktop

Maybe you can get some informative output this way.

Otherwise, the system is rock solid.

system:

debian stable, daily updated
fluxbox

There is a version (1.92-1~bpo10+1) in buster-backports. If you aren't
using it already, you could install the backport and see if it has the
same problem. Collect them all.

any hints on how to solve this issue are more than welcome!

Good luck.
