Hello,
I noticed that when using Ptyxis with a toolbox/distrobox from BoxBuddy, I cannot open multiple tabs. This works fine when I start Ptyxis as a normal application.
Why does this happen? Ideally I would’ve liked to opening a new tab to fire up another terminal inside the container, but I’d settle for another terminal on the host (where I have to run toolbox enter ... again).
The containers you install with boxbuddy will automatically show up in Ptyxis.
You don’t have to use boxbuddy to start them. Just open Ptyxis and click upper left.
Hello Plyply,
I am familiar with that menu, but my question really has to do with what changes when running from BoxBuddy. I would like to be able to launch regular Ptyxis windows directly from BoxBuddy.
As far a I can tell, BoxBuddy seems to simply run ptyxis -- distrobox enter <container>. Not sure why this turns off tab support, but it seems to me that there seems to be no way around it…
Yeah I get what you’re saying. The same thing can happen sometimes when using a custom shell command inside Ptyxis preferences. Not really sure why why it happens though. I had to modify how I start fastfetch to get the menu to show.
Odd thing is you can start another Ptyxis with ptyxis distrobox-enter arch and the menu shows just fine.
