I'm getting something similar, although it actually seemed to (partially?) install for me. Every time I open a new terminal in Zed I get this:

Same issue here. A manual installation worked without issues

unable to reproduce on Fedora 40

@dmytrogajewski Which distro are you using?

I've think this is related to zed updating itself...

• install zed using the install script
  • all ok, no errors when launching a terminal
• let zed update itself
  • errors in the terminal
• rerun install script and relaunch zed
  • all ok again

Also running Fedora 40, with zsh

@krishnaraj Can you see if you're still having this issue? We've made a number of improvements to script/linux around error handling and specific distribution support. If you run into trouble comment below and I'm happy to reopen.

For everyone else who is seeing errors in terminal when auto-updating on Linux, could you file a new issue rather than hijacking this one? The similarity of error ("unexpected end of file") makes them falsely similar when they are not. OP likely had an interrupted download of the release tarball while running the install script, while the issue y'all are seeing is likely caused by bash trying to read a file-offset from a file that has changed underneath while it was running the script.

I have opened #18614 for the issues related to updating zed. Anyone affected give it a 👍 for visibility

@notpeter Still facing this issue. I manually installed and have no issues with the updates though.

Extracting https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/releases/download/v0.155.2/zed-linux-x86_64.tar.gz using tar fails but works with 7z

tar version
tar (GNU tar) 1.34

[krishnaraj]

It works if I change

curl "https://zed.dev/api/releases/$channel/latest/zed-linux-$arch.tar.gz" > "$temp/zed-linux-$arch.tar.gz"

to

curl "https://zed.dev/api/releases/$channel/latest/zed-linux-$arch.tar.gz" --output "$temp/zed-linux-$arch.tar.gz" in the install script

That is extremely odd. Can you include a screenshot showing the error message you get where the script fails to extract with tar -xzf:

zed/script/install.sh

Lines 111 to 112 in beda1a9

	tar -xzf "$temp/zed-linux-$arch.tar.gz" -C "$HOME/.local/"

I wonder if your output is being truncated. This script has a set -e at the top so I would assume curl/wget would cause the script to abort in this case and tar would never run.

It works if I change

curl "https://zed.dev/api/releases/$channel/latest/zed-linux-$arch.tar.gz" > "$temp/zed-linux-$arch.tar.gz" to curl "https://zed.dev/api/releases/$channel/latest/zed-linux-$arch.tar.gz" --output "$temp/zed-linux-$arch.tar.gz" in the install script

These two should be functionally equivalent. In the former curl is outputting to stdout and bash is redirecting that stream to a file, while in the latter curl is outputting directly to the file. The only time I would expect their behavior to differ would be if the download did not finish. (e.g. bash immediately truncates the output file and waits for stdin, but curl won't create/write to the file until it has content from the remote server to write).

1. Do you have a .curlrc? If yes, can you paste it? It could be in the following places:

• $HOME/.curlrc
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/curl/curlrc or $HOME/.config/curl/curlrc
• /etc/curlrc

3. Do you have curl defined as an alias/function? which curl
4. Do you have a tar configuration file present?

• ~/.tar
• /etc/tar.conf
• /etc/tarrc
• /etc/tar/tarrc

4. Do you have tar defined as an alias/function? which tar
5. Can run tar --show-defaults and paste your results? On Ubuntu 22 mine is:

--format=gnu -f- -b20 --quoting-style=escape --rmt-command=/usr/sbin/rmt --rsh-command=/usr/bin/rsh

[krishnaraj]

1. Yes, I do have .curlc with the following contents
   -w "\n"

2. No alias defined for curl

3. No configuration file and alias present for tar

4. Results for tar --show-defaults

--format=gnu -f- -b20 --quoting-style=escape --rmt-command=/usr/sbin/rmt --rsh-command=/usr/bin/rsh

[krishnaraj]

Ah! the .curlc was the issue, works fine if I remove it.
