Your environment

  • version of pianobar

Steps to reproduce

Actual behaviour

Which terminal application and version are you using? Does it work correctly in other terminals like xterm? What does your pianobar configuration look like?

I only have the standard Xubuntu terminal installed. It's launched with "exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator"
Nothing fancy in config:

user = xxxx
password = xxxx
autostart_station = xxxx
audio_quality = high
buffer_seconds = 10
ca_bundle = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Pianobar version hasn't changed lately. I assume it must be something updated from development branch of Noble Numbat, though I have no idea what.

Could be a terminal emulator regression, if it’s from the development branch. You could try strace or gdb and see if/where pianobar gets stuck.
