Geany with terminator doesn't work - Unable to find a shell

Hi,
in geany when i try to execute a program (python, C), the terminal (terminator) open and i got this message "Unable to find a shell". If I run program from command line in terminator it works fine and if I change terminator to xterm in geany its too .
I removed terminator, geany and installed again but it didn't help.

In geany my tool path: x-terminal-emulator -e "/bin/sh %c"

I woud like to use geany with terminator, but I didn't find solution.
Thanx any advice!

Any way you can show a screenshot of this?

My Edit » Preferences » Tools » Terminal: terminator seems to work just fine.

Re: Geany with terminator doesn't work - Unable to find a shell

on my geany it's

urxvt -e "/bin/sh %c"

and on a default crunchbang install it's just

terminator

does that help?

Of course, here is:

and geany preferences:

I replaced x-terminal-emulator to terminator in tool path, but doesn't work.
Maybe my dist-upgrade to testing wasn't flawless.

Try this in tool path:

terminator -x "/bin/sh %c"

urxvt -e "/bin/sh %c"

Thx the advice, but nothing happens with this.

After I tried to execute a program I found in my working folder the geany_run_script.sh (this script would have to run my program). I can run this script from command line (and it execute my program) but only if I set its permission with chmod +x. (After this script finish delete itself, so unfortunately this isn't solution). Maybe my geany doesn't set this script permission?

Thanks!
I set geany's terminal to "Execute programs in the VTE" and it works fine. It didn't solve my original problem, but gave me a well solution and i can use geany.

Well, at least you have something working.  You can use it while still working on the "terminator" aspect.

Re: Geany with terminator doesn't work - Unable to find a shell

same problem here.

FIX is to change Preferences -> Tools -> Terminal  command to

terminator -x /bin/sh %c

from terminator man page

       -e, --command=COMMAND
              Runs the specified command instead of your default shell or pro‐
              file specified command

       -x, --execute COMMAND [ARGS]
              Runs the rest of the command line instead of your default  shell
              or profile specified command.
