Yee have too - can not start codex
I fixed it by completly removing the tui config from the config.toml, go inside your .codex/config.toml and see if it works too.
yes all good thanks for help
Hello, what is the file path?
found it
~/.codex/config.toml
Here is how I fixed the issue:
tui = { theme = { name = "dark-amber-terminal" } , notifications = true}
This should be fixed in 0.39.0!
