Description Raoul 2018-05-18 22:10:45 CEST

In a lxconsole, as I'm under lxde, I type the following command:
   xterm -e "sleep 5 ; ls ; sleep 5" 
It opens a new terminal, wait 5 seconds, displays a listing, wait 5 seconds and close the terminal, exactly as I want.

But if I try
   lxterminal -e "sleep 5 ; ls ; sleep 5" 
_nothing_ is happening after the opening of the terminal.

Is
   lxterminal -e "ls -R"
also working ?

Comment 3 Raoul 2018-05-22 22:18:04 CEST

Just tested lxterminal-0.3.1-3.git20180225.1.mga6 from core/updates_testing.

It works fine, executing the commands passed as parameters.

_Many thanks_ for both the update and this great reactivity !!!

Mageia 6, x86_64

Before:
The xterm command worked fine.

$ lxterminal -e "sleep 5 ; ls ; sleep 5"
Hung forever.  So did:
lxterminal -e "ls -R"

Afterwards:

$ lxterminal -e "sleep 5 ; ls ; sleep 5"
Waits five seconds after displaying the terminal window, prints a full list of the current directory for five seconds then disappears.
$ lxterminal -e "ls -R"
Displays a recursive listing of the current directory and vanishes.

$ lxterminal -e "cd Videos; vlc Merveillesnordiques.mp4"
This also worked fine, playing the video until interrupted.

This is fixed for sure.
