This is a gdb issue, it is not IDE-specific.

Here is a way to reproduce it using only console output:

- Get any console app compiled with -g option , let's assume it is ~/helloworld.out
- Launch 2 independent terminals, e.g. xterm
- Get tty for the first of them (tty command), let's assume it is /dev/pts/1
- Launch gdb in the second terminal, then redirect i/o to the 1st terminal: gdb -tty /dev/pts/1 ~/helloworld.out
- Tell gdb (2nd terminal) to run the program: (gdb) r

The output terminal will print "failed to set..." etc.
