Grey box in terminal covering output/result

Post by sddfdds »

Screenshot from 2017-01-15 09-52-55.png
I have a simple sfv checking program, and in the profile preferences of terminal, I have it set to 'hold the terminal open" when a program exits, so I can see the result. Granted I can see that it says child process exited normally with status 0, but why is this grey box covering the output? (This is new with 18.1) I tried messing with the colors in the theme but that didn't do anything and can't seem to figure out a way to get rid of it.

I experienced the same problem . . . the banner covering up the output (using LM 18.2). Searching and reading through the entire terminal help file and terminal section of the LM 18 user manual came up blank. Is there anyone that can help us understand and correct this?

--Thanks in Advance--

My problem is terminal output is covered by "child process exited normally with status 0" error banner

Terminal program is:
"GNOME Terminal, 3.18.3, A terminal emulator for the GNOME desktop Using VTE version 0.42.5 +GNUTLS"
I loaded terminal with a user created desktop link:
inxi (checked the box "run in terminal")

The problem may be with an incomplete command line in the desktop link.

I meant the sfv checking program, not the terminal.

When running inxi you should just open the terminal application from the menu and enter inxi

WharfRat, Thanks for the suggestion. I was doing that but wanted the whole operation to be executed with just a double click on a created desktop link. Then that concealing banner appears!
FYI, recently discovered that tapping the keyboard's up arrow in the Terminal recalls dozens of your previous terminal commands, so, for quick-n-easy, (a panel Terminal icon click) then (UpArrow [x nn times]) <enter> gets me many different desired output results like running the "sudo fstrim -v /" SSD command. Saves a lot of typing.
