[Solved]Terminology - Broken after upgrade

cyberpsych0sis · 2014-11-12 01:22:51

After running a system update it appears that Terminology is no longer working correctly.
i.e:
Background does not render properly, just shows black screen, Cannot use rightclick to make modifications, etc

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

=====================================

Fix:

Downgrade to package 0.6.1-1 from cache

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/terminology-0.6.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

=====================================

Start it from another terminal and see what error it prints...

Also, please paste the list of packages that were included in your last upgrade.

Presumably, downgrading to 0.6.1-1 works?

Downloaded and installed downgrade from the AUR.

Ran:

downgrade terminology

Selected the old version 6.1 and it worked like a charm.

Thanks for the guidance! That being said... do you think this will affect others and if so, what would the remediation for that be? By that I mean, is there anyone I should notify about this issue?

You shouldn't have had to install anything from the AUR, just downgrade from your cache.

Without more information/error messages about why it is not working (such as a strace), then there is not much more that can be done. You could keep an eye on upstream's bug tracker and see if anyone else is experiencing any issues.

Well this is way more convenient than the method I used...

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/terminology-0.6.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Thanks again... I really need to buckle down and scour that wiki...

Start with 'man pacman' :-)

terminology works for me on my 32-bit Arch with [testing] repos enabled.

Yeah, terminology is also working on my other Arch systems... This is strange.

I just downgraded to 0.7.0, works fine here, but I'm running a newer version of EFL as well.

I would suggest joining #e on freenode (irc); people there, including the E devs, are pretty good about helping people troubleshoot.
