Set Console type to Gnome terminal. 

FILE *input = NULL; 
input = fopen("/dev/tty","r"); 
returns NULL in debug mode (works fine in Run mode).

How to re-produce:

#include <termios.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/signal.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

main{
  FILE *input = NULL; 
  input = fopen("/dev/tty","r"); 
}
In debug mode, fopen("/dev/tty","r"); return NULL.
