IOError: [Errno 25] Ioctl() Inappropriate ioctl for device

See original GitHub issue

Hi, this issue appeared recently (even with latest .gdbinit):

Cannot write the dashboard
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 516, in render
  File "<string>", line 608, in get_term_size
IOError: [Errno 25] Ioctl() Inappropriate ioctl for device

As a workaround I have added IOError to the exception handling of get_term_size and hardcoded my usual terminal size. According to gdb’s python-interactive console, sys.platform = 'linux2' on my system (Ubuntu 20.04).

In the meantime, a probably better workaround that respects the actual terminal size, would be to replace 1 with 0 or 2, in the following, since your stdin and stderr files still point to the TTY.

That makes sense, so I guess you can easily fix that. Thanks for letting me know.
