Compiled Ghostty 1.1.3 on Debian 12 show blank screen with no login-prompt and cursor #5950
-
I previously installed a prepackaged binary from With above two minor issues, I would like to upgrade Ghostty. I managed successfully compiled latest ghostty with zig 0.13.0 on Debian 12(Budgie Desktop Env.) after several issues fixed by myself during the compiling. (Yes, I am pretty new to Ziglang). First I removed the pre-installed binary packages, and move the compiled binary to /usr/bin, the binary startup OK, but the terminal show a blank screen, and because I removed the package, the themes come with the package also removed, which reporting error when startup ghostty. I tried to reinstall back the old v1.0.0 binary package and overwrite the /usr/bin/ghostty with the new compiled one. Still the same. the terminal come up with a blank screen, nothing appeared( the login prompt, the cursor etc). What could be the reason? Pls somebody could elaborate me? Thanks. BTW: During compilation, I have to run: (base) ~ ᐅ /usr/bin/ghostty --version

One thing I missed is the zig-out also had share dir, which I forget to sync to /usr/share. |

Likely dupe of #5830, there's several Debian 12 users there with similar symptoms |
