Laravel Installer crashes on Ubuntu 25.10 due to stty output format
Installer Version
Laravel Installer 5.15.0
Description
Problem
On Ubuntu 25.10, running:
laravel new project
causes the Laravel Installer to crash when the interactive starter-kit prompt appears. The error is:
stty: invalid argument '4500:5:f00bf:8a3b:3:1c:7f:15:4:0:1:0:11:13:1a:0:12:f:17:16:0:...'
This happens because Ubuntu 24.04+ returns a different stty -g output format, and the Installer tries to execute it without validation, causing the terminal restore step in src/Console/Terminal.php to fail.
Steps to reproduce
- Fresh Ubuntu 25.10 install
- Run:
laravel new test
- When the starter-kit prompt appears, the installer exits with the error above.
Expected behavior
Installer should gracefully handle unsupported stty formats and not crash.
Environment
Ubuntu 25.10
PHP version: (paste output of `php -v`)
Laravel Installer version: (paste output of `composer global show laravel/installer`)
stty -g output:
(paste output)
stty -a output:
(paste output)
echo $TERM
uname -a
Notes
This only happens in interactive mode. Running:
laravel new test --no-interaction
works normally.
