Issue

Hi, I'm sorry because this is probably less an issue with hyper than it is with something to do with my particular install with Ubuntu.

I have Hyper working fine on my windows laptop. One reason why I decided to start using hyper as a new dev is because I wanted a unified terminal experience between using my windows laptop and my Ubuntu 18.04 home cloud server.

I install hyper and when I try to start it, I can see it in system monitor, but it doesn't actually appear anywhere where I can see it. This has happened with multiple versions of hyper, and I think it has something to do with electron itself.

I tried to install Hain on my windows and Ubuntu machines but the linux version doesn't have an official build release file so I had to build it myself. When I did, it didn't work, and after that point all my electron based apps I tried installing wouldn't work, including hyper.

How can I fix this? Do I uninstall electron or node or something like that? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling hyper multiple times but nothing has worked. up till now I've just put up with it because using the default Gnome terminal has worked fine but I'd like to figure this thing out so that I don't have this issue any more, and I was wondering if anyone had any pointers.

If there is more information I can provide, please let me know.

Start with the linked .hyper.js configuration and reproduce the launch behavior on Ubuntu 18.04 with Hyper 2.2.1. The issue provides no named source file or test; done means identifying why the process is present but no window is visible and restoring a usable Hyper window.
