gtk-adwaita: unknown field

[ngile]

Hello everyone,

The Ghostty terminal doesn't work with the latest code from the main branch (sha: 9a5bc65) on Debian. I'm encountering an error message: 'gtk-adwaita: unknown field,' which makes the terminal unusable. The previous revision f1f1120 functioned without any issues. For more info, please see the attached screenshots.

Non-Adwaita GTK builds are to be removed by 1.2, and the removal has already happened on tip. See https://ghostty.org/docs/install/release-notes/1-1-0#gtk:-forcing-a-dependency-on-libadwaita

Thank you for your informative input :)

Gonna reopen this and pin this so that people don't make even more duplicates of this :p

In my case, the black screen still remains.
It could be a problem with gtk 4.8.3 but on Debian stable at the moment it is the standard version without going through experimental

Thanks, I've been searching through Github and Discord for an hour and had missed it. Shame on me
