Anything else we need to know?

I am running in the Linux environment of WSL

[AlexJeeee]

same situation

[meekr]

same here

[ryanjsalva]

This sounds like it might be a usability issue. The first time you start up, we give an option to choose the theme... and then we show the prompt.

[shelltea]

same problem

[kalinplus]

same problem. After several seconds, the gemini cli will exit auto

[pengyuwei]

After conducting experiments, I found that this is a network issue. Ensuring that the address of the Gemini can be accessed will prevent it from automatically logging out.
It is still recommended that if there are network issues, reasonable prompts should be given instead of directly exiting.
