Ok in a huff I was replacing alacritty with kitty, since kitty properly rendered zellij and alacritty didn't, and my tmux config is missing from my dotfiles so I didn't want to reconfigure tmux again... it's been one of those days. |

However I was unable to open any terminal at all when I hit the usual ctrl+alt+t shortcut. |
|||
I even changed my default terminal application with |
|||
sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator |
|||
but that didn't do anything. |
|||
My first clue was to tail the syslog with sudo journalctl -f. This showed the warning that gsd-media-keys was logging a warning that alacritty wasn't on $PATH. |
|||
So I looked at what files gsd-media-keys had open: |
|||
$ lsof -p 28857 | less |
|||
A bunch of binary files, and... |
|||
/home/razzi/.config/dconf/user |
|||
Aha! A binary file that had alacritty mentioned in it. I knew I was close, I looked around how to reset dconf config and found https://askubuntu.com/questions/56313/how-do-i-reset-gnome-to-the-defaults |
|||
Sure enough, what worked for me was to just remove that file... even though I ended up backing it up to my ~/hack directory, just in case removing it made things worse. |
|||
But it recreated that file, no mention of alacritty at all. And kitty opens with c-a-t ;) |

Ok in a huff I was replacing alacritty with kitty, since kitty properly rendered zellij and alacritty didn't, and my tmux config is missing from my dotfiles so I didn't want to reconfigure tmux again... it's been one of those days.

I even changed my default terminal application with
sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
