Force AppImage launch in a terminal

[grz0zrg]

Hello,

i am trying to build an AppImage for my project which is headless and should run in a terminal (no gui), all is going well except that when the AppImage is launched it goes silently in background, is there any standard ways to force the AppImage to launch in a terminal ?

Thanks by advance.

Did you try

Terminal=true

in the desktop file?

Yes, however it just run in background silently without opening any terminal.

Here is my AppRun

#!/bin/sh
SELF=$(readlink -f “$0”)
HERE=${SELF%/}
export PATH=“${HERE}/usr/bin/:${HERE}/usr/sbin/:${HERE}/usr/games/:${HERE}/bin/:${HERE}/sbin/${PATH:+:$PATH}”
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=“${HERE}/usr/lib/:${HERE}/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/:${HERE}/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/:${HERE}/usr/lib32/:${HERE}/usr/lib64/:${HERE}/lib/:${HERE}/lib/i386-linux-gnu/:${HERE}/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/:${HERE}/lib32/:${HERE}/lib64/${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH}”
EXEC=$(grep -e '^Exec=.’ “${HERE}”/*.desktop | head -n 1 | cut -d “=” -f 2 | cut -d " " -f 1)
exec “${EXEC}” “$@”

and desktop file :

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=fas
Exec=fas
Icon=fas
Terminal=true
Categories=AudioVideo;

To force it to run in a terminal, you could e.g., have an AppRun script that would run your application in xterm.
