Opening project in the Project Manager when run in standalone terminal closes Godot (parent process killed)

[ignaloidas]

Godot version:
3.0.2

OS/device including version:
Kubuntu 17.10 AMD R5 M430 GPU and Intel iGPU

Issue description:
When Godot is launched by a console only running Godot (no bash, etc.) when trying to open a project in editor, it crashes

Steps to reproduce:
If using KDE based system, launch Godot with this command:
konsole -e /path/to/godot
then when you try open a project in a editor, it crashes
EDIT:just tested, also works with terminator

Minimal reproduction project:
Tested with official 3D platformer demo

What about xterm (running xterm -e path/to/godot)? 3.0.2 standard or mono?

Just tested, also crashes, looks like this happens for all terminal emulators

I can reproduce this issue on commit df79cc8 using Fedora 27 and KDE Plasma 5.12.4, by launching Godot using konsole -e godot (Godot is available in the PATH on this system).

The project manager will open, but it will crash when attempting to edit a project. However, running the project (instead of editing it) won't crash Godot.

It does not crash and it's not a bug: when you open a project in the project manager, Godot spawns a new process. If you ran the initial project manager project in a standalone terminal, it gets killed when the project manager process is killed, and thus kills the child processes.

it gets killed when the project manager process is killed, and thus kills the child processes.

Oh makes sense, any way to circumvent this and have the terminal always alive?

[LinuxUserGD]

It keeps alive on Antergos using Godot Mono and gnome-terminal, don't know why. Seems like the terminal process is finished instead of killed so the terminal doesn't receive errors from the Godot Editor. If I close the terminal I have to manually close the editor.

Just open the terminal yourself and then execute Godot like any other normal program? What are you trying to do? 🤔

[ignaloidas]

I'm trying to make a desktop launch script with console, and I can't see a way, though I'm not a very experienced Linux user

[NuclearPhoenixx]

Ah I see, try making a starter with /path/to/godot_binary only that works for me. If you got it installed you can just do /usr/bin/godot or godot, hope this helps :)

Just for the cross-reference, different issue but similar cause (process forking when opening a project): #18233

This seems no longer reproducible for me with Godot 3.2.2 on Mageia, running konsole -e godot. The spawned terminal gets closed when editing a project in the project manager, but the newly spawned instance doesn't get killed.
Can anyone still reproduce it?

Same behavior here, tested with konsole and gnome-terminal. Seems OK to close this now.

Thanks, closing.
