I'm also affected by this problem.

Can you guys try the latest release?

[fbriol]

I still have the same problem with the latest version.

[nhooyr]

Must be #1659 or #1640

Will look into it tomorrow morning.

[fbriol]

OK. Thanks.

I looked into this as my terminal was also not opening on rhel7.
I was able to trace it down to libstdc++ being ancient. So i upgraded to a newer one and it was fine after that.

Closing for inactivity and should be fixed anyway.

[vafanassieff]

Confirmed it's fixed for me now, thanks !

For your information, I always had this problem even with the latest versions. As I was the only one, I tried to find out why. The origin of the problem is that I was running the server in a Conda environment. This causes a confit in the libraries and makes the terminal unusable.
