I just updated ghotty to commit [429c8ab](https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/commit/429c8ab277f75b581959ac5515b0c32636839168) and it no longer works.

I am using MX Linux (Debian 12 bookworm) and Kernel: x86_64 Linux 6.1.0-13-amd64

The last commit that i am able to use is commit. I am on Ubuntu 22.04 with Kernel 6.8.0-52-generic.
I also gonna attach what i get as logging if i start it with this (in the moment of writing this the latest) commit:

It seems to get stuck after the last entry.
The Snap seems to have the same Problem. I tried it out.

Does reverting that change fix it?

Yes

NoctisWolfshadow Feb 20, 2025

yes as soon as i go to the next commit after this it breaks if i revert to this one its fine again. Also i tested some commits between latest and last working and all of them are broken (atleast the ones i tested).
I also have the ghostty debug version of the logging above could that help you?

I also have the ghostty debug version of the logging above could that help you?

It's possible that it could help, so yeah consider sending it.

I had the same issue on a fresh Debian 12.9 install. My installation on a Debian 12.9 machine prior to the new release works perfectly.

There is a script at my github. https://github.com/drewgrif/myghostty that installs ghostty but pins the commit to:

GHOSTTY_COMMIT="f1f1120749b7494c89689d993d5a893c27c236a5"

Not sure if this helps anyone but me. But ... just a thought and it works well.

I just updated ghotty to commit [429c8ab](https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/commit/429c8ab277f75b581959ac5515b0c32636839168) and it no longer works.

I am using MX Linux (Debian 12 bookworm) and Kernel: x86_64 Linux 6.1.0-13-amd64

I have the same issue building from source from main and v1.1.2 branch/tag. Building from tag v1.1.1 works fine.

Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
zig 0.13.0

Wait... that's strange. The only difference between 1.1.2 and 1.1.1 is a macOS hotfix, and the Linux versions should be identical...

1.1.2 works for me, was also surprised at the comment 😅

I will rebuild later after work and update here, thank guys.

As I stated in a previous post, I wanted to be clear that the installation I ran from the script I wrote has me running 1.1.3-HEAD+f1f11207 and is working fine on Debian 12.9

ltsuda Feb 21, 2025

I appreciate the script but if this is a real problem, then we will have to wait for the dev team to investigate and fix.

I don't mind using v1.1.1 for now :)
