Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/SillyTavern/SillyTavern-Launcher/issues/86

Environment

🐧 Linux

System

fedora version 41 (KDE Plasma)

Describe the problem

I've followed all the instructions for the SillyTavern Launcher where I've only installed SillyTavern, no extras or XTTS, and created a desktop shortcut to it. I open it up to see the launcher menu and hit 1 then enter to Start SillyTavern and it does nothing. Doing so again just closes the launcher.

I think this is related to the problem I just noticed, where the terminal detection doesn't work on some distros. Since you use KDE, I'm guessing you use Konsole? If you open up the launcher script, go the section that starts "find_terminal()", and add konsole (or whatever you use), it should work. Or if everything you need is installed, you should be able to run start.sh directly.
