Tilda crashing on startup

[rsvitale]

Using arch linux, lxqt desktop environment, I get the following error log:

Process 3387 (tilda) of user 1000 dumped core.

[lanoxx]

Which version are you using?

[rsvitale]

I'm using 1.3.2-1

[rsvitale]

I tried opening tilda in xterm and an emacs shell and in both cases saw the following error:

Vte:ERROR:vte.cc:2599:bool VteTerminalPrivate::set_background_alpha(double): assertion failed: (alpha >= 0. && alpha <=1.) Aborted (core dumped)

[lanoxx]

I just pushed a commit that should fix this. Can you try with tilda 1.3.4 or the current master?

[rsvitale]

I tried with 1.3.4 and the master and received the same error.

[rsvitale]

I just updated tilda on a different computer (which is setup almost the same as the computer where I'm having trouble) and there are no issues...I'll see if I can find what's different/causing an issue.

[lanoxx]

There seems to be a problem with the background color, though I am not sure why. Since you are unable to even start tilda you cant reset the background from the preferences window. But you could either try to delete the current config file to use the default values or you could open the config file, look for the background alpha setting and then try to set it to an allowed value.

[rsvitale]

I'm not sure how this happened but I had 63 config files all with back_alpha=-65. Setting the first 4 (the ones I had been using) to 0 and deleting the other configs fixed the issue. Thanks for the help!
