title: How do you make Execute do anything in Geany?
body: <p>I am trying out Geany for the first time. Compile and Build work fine (and indeed the commands are automatically detected), however I have been unable to make Execute do anything at all.</p>
  
  <p>My setup:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Create a new project</li>
  <li>Save a basic C hello world as hello-world.c</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>(I am using Kubutuntu 14.04.)</p>
  
  <p>With no extra setup, pressing F9 or clicking Build -> Build correctly builds the executable. However, when I press F5 or click Build -> Execute, a terminal window appears with a <code>$</code> prompt, and nothing else.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried going to Build -> Set Build Commands and changing the command next to Execute to various things, including "echo hi there", but the result is always the same: a <code>$</code> prompt, and nothing else.</p>
  
  <p>How do I make F5 do anything?</p>
  
  <p>Update: I have created VMs with clean installs of Ubuntu 14.04 and Kubuntu 14.04. Geany on Ubuntu works as expected, and F5 runs the program. On Kubuntu, I get the same issue I get on my laptop running Kubuntu 14.04. So it seems this is a Kubuntu specific problem.</p>
