Created attachment 1133704 [details] screenshot Description of problem: Strange prompt, killing my productivity on Fedora Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% after installing tilda or xterm terminals Steps to Reproduce: 1. install tilda or xterm 2. start tilda or xterm 3. Actual results: Expected results: to have clean prompt Additional info: It looks like part of /etc/profile.d/vte.sh is at fault: line 57: printf "\033]777;notify;Command completed;%s\007\033]0;%s@%s:%s\007%s" "${command}" "${USER}" "${HOSTNAME%%.*}" "${pwd}" "$(__vte_osc7)" After I commented out line 57 I got clean prompt back.
vte.sh is a no-op in xterm unless somehow VTE_VERSION env variable gets into your xterm; you should check where that comes from. Likely your tilda is running not against vte2.91 but the older vte3 which doesn't know this OSC sequence. That part looks to be a bug in the fedora patch to vte.sh, they should check the corresponding VTE_VERSION before adding this OSC to the PROMPT_COMMAND.

Also note that tilda uses vte2.90 in Rawhide. Fedora should upgrade to a newer version which relies on vte2.91. By the way, Ubuntu and Debian managed to get rid of vte library version 2.90 (a.k.a. tarball version up to 0.36), move all the packages relying on this to vte library version 2.91 (a.k.a. tarball version 0.38+). Fedora should do the same.

This script is owned by the vte291 package... moving to that component.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
