Defunct process

[dbarnett]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Start abominade normally
2. Run "ps a" in a terminal

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I see [a8] <defunct> there, and it doesn't seem like it should be there.

I stepped through with pdb and found it was created on the line that says self.pid = self.terminal.fork_command(argv[0], argv, env, cwd)

Looks like Terminator, which also uses vte, has the same issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator/+bug/885606

The workaround there works for me:

cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s libvte9 vte
