Hello, recently i tried to make a script and i want to execute him into guake but when i tried the option “—execute-command=” i had an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/guake", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('guake==3.8.6.dev20', 'console_scripts', 'guake')())

    if not main():

    raise UnknownMethodException('%s is not a valid method' % method_name)

My guake --version show me:

Guake Terminal: 3.8.6.dev20
VTE: 0.68.0
VTE runtime: 0.68.0
Gtk: 3.24.33

I’m not really able to resolve this problem, i tried to google it but i wan’t able to understand how to resolv it.

If somebody has a solution for me it would be good, i tried on ubuntu with my vm and it worked…

I can duplicate this issue. Looks like the --execute-command option was removed recently due to security issues. There is a new PR which fixes this but has not been merged yet:

Both ubuntu and arch are running the same version so don’t why that’s happening. You can switch to any other drop down terminal…possibly yakuake.

Thanks, i see yakuake a possibility to send a command to it but there is not a lot of option for the tab ect so i’ll wait an update i guess.
