This is a gdb issue, it is not IDE-specific. Here is a way to reproduce it using only console output:
- Get any console app compiled with -g option , let's assume it is ~/helloworld.out - Launch 2 independent terminals, e.g. xterm - Get tty for the first of them (tty command), let's assume it is /dev/pts/1 - Launch gdb in the second terminal, then redirect i/o to the 1st terminal: gdb -tty /dev/pts/1 ~/helloworld.out - Tell gdb (2nd terminal) to run the program: (gdb) r The output terminal will print "failed to set..." etc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/469005 Title: GDB: Failed to set controlling terminal -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
