Do you have any terminal emulators other than urxvt installed?

from pi-apps.

No I don't, it's the only one I use. I can install another to help test if need be.

I can install another to help test if need be.

The list of supported terminals in the terminal-run script are treated as a fallback: if your preferred terminal (as chosen by x-terminal-emulator) is not in the list, then terminal-run will check if any other supported terminal is installed.

In other words, you are encountering this problem because you have uninstalled all other terminal emulators. If you had a supported terminal emulator installed, then terminal-run would use that one.
I will look into adding urxvt to terminal-run properly.

from pi-apps.

I have added urxvt to terminal-run in commit 8e2f2bb.

Please update pi-apps manually by running ~/pi-apps/updater cli-yes. Then once that is done, you should be able to use pi-apps normally with your choice of terminal.

Thanks again for taking the time to reach out for help on this issue! Your issue report has made pi-apps just a little bit better for everyone. :)

When updating via GUI, it provides an error. The error does not cause any problem, but it may throw some users off.

What do you mean? What error? Did you see an error when updating terminal-run on your system, @Sussy-OS?

Yes, I did. I'm not sure exactly what it said, but I'll downgrade pi-apps and try again so I can get the error.

Unable to open a terminal.
Debug output below.
Default x-terminal-emulator: lxterminal

Here is the actual issue:

/home/james/pi-apps/etc/terminal-run: line 124: syntax error near unexpected token `do'
/home/james/pi-apps/etc/terminal-run: line 124: `/${terminalrun_pid} ];do'

from pi-apps.

I'm sure that line is intended, it's just causing an error for me. Restarting fixes the problem.

/home/james/pi-apps/etc/terminal-run: line 124: `/${terminalrun_pid} ];do'

I know what happened. This can happen when a running script gets updated while it is running. Bash can lose track of where it was and get confused when the next lines of the file do not match what it was expecting. In the new commit f1b643b, I have encased the entire terminal-run script in {} characters to force bash to read the whole file on startup. Even one-time errors are important. Thanks for reporting, @Sussy-OS.
