I want to get full console functionality running the program in Qt Creator, the same problem as described here: Console input with Qt Creator
When I check "Run in Terminal" in configuration properties, empty terminal window is opened, without my program output. Tools - Options - General - Terminal has this value: "x-terminal-emulator -e". How can I get this working? My OS is Ubuntu 10.4.
Note: Please don't close this question, it is not duplicated! I need solution for Ubuntu OS.
Another nice trick to avoid having to do console commands, or running a bash script is to just modify the .desktop file.
On Ubuntu those are located here:
ls /usr/share/applications/
If you wanted to edit Qt Creator for example you could do.
nano /usr/share/applications/qtcreator.desktop
Edit the variable "Exec" should look like "Exec=/usr/bin/qtcreator" and change it to.
bash -i -c /usr/bin/qtcreator
Or whatever your path to the application you want to change is.
This will enable your different environmental variables with this method as well which is what I assume you are trying to do.
