Linux Terminal
On Linux, unlike Windows, applications cannot just request for a new terminal for them selves. If the application needs a terminal, it must be executed by one. TC gets around this by running the terminal application and telling it to execute the TC application.
By default TC uses the x-terminal-emulator command. The x-terminal-emulator command is configured by Debian's alternative system, so it will use your Distro's default terminal (E.G: gnome-terminal on Ubuntu, konsole on Kubuntu).
Different terminal emulators may also not understand the passed arguments. By default TC uses -e '{%FILE%} {%FILE-ARGUMENTS%}'. Some terminal emulators don't use -e however.
The default settings assume you are running on a Debian based system, as we only officaly support Ubuntu, however both the command used to execute the terminal and the format of the arguments can be changed in the ~/.config/Team-Capture/LinuxSettings.json file if you have issues with the default. If the file doesn't exist, go in game and just click 'Apply' in the settings, the file should exist now.
