Update: it seems that my first 7 attempts were just unlucky. It works on average just under half the time.
However, I can't use keyboards other than stock without strange and seemingly random errors (characters being duplicated, black text backgrounds, current character highlight disappears).
Other than these, it works well.
For me it crashes constantly.
It reports:
Abort message: 'In context processing binder RPC command (where RpcServer::setPerSessionRootObject is used to
distinguish callers), getCallingUid does not make sense (binder sp: 0x0, guard: 0xf0cac8a8fb60)In the release notes it says WebView JIT was enabled for the terminal but in the settings of this app it says that it's disabled and there is no option to enable it.
danijelcamdzic Those release notes are for 2025030900, which right now appears to still be in the alpha stage. Can you confirm that you are running 2025030900? If not then crashing is expected.
The Terminal app initialised fine in the Owner profile but after 10+ attempts in Private Space I gave up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, currently this terminal interacts with the Debian VM but has no option to interact with the underlying Android host??
Thank you so much for your hard work. The clock is off-center again since this update.
LamaSinge What device, can you show us what the issue is?
danijelcamdzic You're on the previous 2025030800 release, not the current 2025030900 release in the Alpha channel at the time and now also the Beta channel.

Pixel 8a, it was fixed in 2025030800. With changelog it looks clear that it(s related to migrate_clocks_to_blueprint or communal_hub flags
So this is an AOSP QPR2 feature? Because it was exactly like the stock bone before that. Sorry to have disturbed for a non-problem
LamaSinge We adopted these changes later than the stock Pixel OS, which shipped them in Android 15 QPR1. The layout for this release essentially matches the current stock Pixel OS.
This might be the biggest nitpick ever but will the terminal app be getting a monochrome icon?
Does this only apply in owner profile ? As im not ablr to see in other peofiles And i can confirm it only runs without a VPN connection
No problems on 2025030900 with my Pixel 6a, Pixel 7 and Pixel Tablet so far.
nesakysiu1 We could give it a new icon later but it's also not only going to be a terminal app but rather a VM management app able to run GUI applications. Initial GUI support is shipping with our next release.
I seem to be getting a FileNotFound error when trying to download the image in the terminal app...
Upon launching the terminal and pressing Install, I keep receiving the message:
"Failed to install. Please try again"
I am on the latest release and have a stable network connection so not quite sure what's happening here.
