Description Kamil Neczaj 2009-11-07 19:41:33 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

In qtcreator user can set the external terminal. By default it is 'xterm -e' and it works, but I would use 'konsole -e' as external terminal. Unfortunately konsole shows only black screen with cursor.

I can confirm this.

Comment 2 Jekyll Wu 2011-07-22 20:20:51 UTC

'konsole -e $SHELL -c ' might work

Comment 3 Elvis Stansvik 2011-07-22 21:06:13 UTC

I tried that but it didn't work, neither "konsole -e /bin/sh -c " nor "konsole -e $SHELL -c ". The window just pops up for a brief moment then closes :/

It looks a problem of qtcreator.

According to the bug report in comment #4, this problem also exists for gnome-terminal and xfce4-terminal. So I think this should be a problem of qtcreator.

Close it as DOWNSTREAM.
