[SOLVED]Vim dosnt recognize 256color urxvt

I want to use rxvt as console, but vim says it dosnt have 256color support.
I downloaded the package rxvt-unicode from the repos, also did some tweaking to .Xresources.
If I execute urxvt and try to use the theme 'xoria256.vim' for vim, it says its not supported.
The output of echo $TERM is : rxvt
Im also having a hard time making urxvt recognize my font..
This is the .Xresources file :

Does the file '/usr/share/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode-256color' exist on your machine? It should have been installed when urxvt was installed.
You can remove the CR+LF warnings by fixing your .Xresources file (but first make a backup). The 'file' command probably produces output something like this:
$ file .Xresources
.Xresources: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
You can remove the CRs within vim by using the following command:
:set fileformat=unix
Then save the file. That will get rid of the warnings. For other solutions see http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-unix … xt-format/
Next, watch your spelling in .Xresources. You misnamed the resource, it's termName, with an uppercase 'N', and there is no terminfo file for urxvt256-color. The correct line is:
URxvt*termName: rxvt-unicode-256color
Wow, you really readed my mind.
I figured it out when I rebooted, it was just throwing errors without a reason.
That indeed was the problem.
Thanks. Marked as solved

[SOLVED] vim status line invisible/wrapped in terminal unless I resize

Hi all,
Whenever I open a file in Vim within a terminal (urxvt, Terminator, xterm) the status line at the very bottom is either invisible or wrapped onto a new line (ie "bot" or "All" will span a line) until I manually resize the window by dragging an edge - this seems to fix the issue (and Vim continues to display correctly even if I continue resizing) . I tried changing the window geometries (in .Xresources for urxvt, and in terminator via --geoemtry) without luck. Changing fonts (type, size) doesn't help either.
I'm running Openbox on a recent Retina MacBook Pro with nVidia drivers, with infinality-bundle installed.
The same behavior occurs under Awesome, and I tried various Openbox themes, all with the same result. So, perhaps its a bash or nVidia issue.
gVim works perfectly though.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Last edited by iamjerico (2014-03-26 19:54:12)

The status line - the very bottom line - is either (1) below the visible portion of the terminal window - and remains so even if I page down repeatedly (urxvt) - or (2) is visible but the text appearing on it, like "bot" or "all" that are normally visible on the lower right corner, will wrap around (Terminator). That is, I'll see "b" on the bottom right corner and then "ot" on the bottom left but a line lower. In either case, if I manually resize the terminal window, it "catches up" and all appears correctly.
Update: when running Vim without opening a file (just "vim" from the command line), in Terminator ALL of the visible text from the startup text is wrapped (ie "Vim is open source and freely distributable" wraps onto a second line). In urvxt, that text appears normally but the status line is not visible. In both cases, a window resizes corrects the display.
Very strange.

[SOLVED]vim file specific settings (ie. modelines)

I'm referring to a line in a file s/a
# vim: ft=sh ts=4 et sw=4:
I have that line at the bottom of a .bashrc file. When I open it with vim as a regular user, the settings are applied. When I open it with vim as root (logged in as root; no sudo involved) on the same machine, the settings are ignored. Any ideas as to why this is, or how to fix it?
Both reguser and root have identical .vimrc and .vim folders. If I remove both users' .vimrc, reguser still applies the settings and root still ignores them. I also tried starting vim with full path to rule out any user env. weirdness, no change.

Thanks for all the input and for pointing out it's called a modeline. Not knowing what it's called made it difficult to research.
In the case I cited, I added the modeline just as an experiment. I copied it verbatim from /usr/lib/network/network because I didn't understand it enough to be sure I could just remove ft=sh .
x33a wrote:Vim is reasonably good at recognizing file types, but not always. ...
I remove all comments from a lot of config files. Thus I've also found that vim considers the following (my linux.preset) to have no ft:
ALL_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
ALL_kver="/boot/vmlinuz-linux"
PRESETS=('default')
default_image="/boot/caddywhompus.img"
But if I add a new line to the top with just a '#', vim suddenly recognizes it as ft=conf.
Trilby wrote:File specific modelines are quite handy at times, but there certainly shouldn't be a need to specify "ft=sh" in a modeline of bashrc, it is already recognized as such.
Completely unrelated to my experiment with the modeline, but when I back up that .bashrc as root-bashrc it's recognized as ft=conf .

I use powerline, but i have it installed via YADR. I had to tweak settings here-and-there as it's oriented towards a OSX install, but on the whole it worked out of the box. What exactly is the issue you're seeing? I think the only special stuff I did was making sure I had suitable fonts, and a snippet along the lines of:
if has("gui_running")
" GUI stuff
else
colorscheme solarized
set background=dark
let g:Powerline_symbols = 'unicode'
endif
EDIT: BTW, I can highly recommend the YADR configs; they are nicely organized and use a lot of nice plugins for any serious dev work.

Thanks bluewind,
I found out that the reason was this line:

I commented it out and added a new line with ctermbg=NONE.
I guess I could have entered NONE also in the other line? What does it stand for?
It's a function to set colors. (search for "fun <SID>X" in the file to see what it does)
call <SID>X("Normal", "cccccc", "NONE", "")
should also remove the background.

[solved] vim color scheme not working in urxvt/screen

i'm using the 256 color scheme inkblot in vim. It works great in urxvt alone. But the background is messed up in screen. Screen is able to display 256 colors.
Basically, the background it is supposed to set ends up being set for every line in which there is no text, while the lines that have text have an all black background. This doesn't happen outside of screen or in other 256 color enabled terminals.
This happens with every theme that sets a background (or more specifically an off-black/dark-grey background.. i haven't tried a theme that tries another color background).
Last edited by scv5 (2009-06-20 20:15:35)

add "term screen-256color" to your .screenrc, that's the cleanest approach
That probably won't be enough for urxvt, see this thread for more information http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50647

[solved] Vim: console and urxvt have different colors

Well, as you can see, vim in console (vc/1) and in urxvt has different colors:
I'd like to have the same colors of console in urxvt (and not the opposite), is there a way?
I don't know from where the colors of urxvt come from. That blue with which is written '#include' and that green/cyan with which is written 'int' aren't even in my .Xdefaults.
TIA

I tried to change the colorscheme in Vim to have comments in italic like this :
hi Comment guifg=#7C7C7C guibg=NONE gui=NONE ctermfg=gray ctermbg=NONE cterm=ITALIC
But this make the comments' color inverted, which is very ugly, and they are not in italic.
I'm using urxvt with the font DejaVu Sans Mono, but I think the problem comes from Vim because I can print italic text in the terminal.
Does someone know if it is possible to fix it ? Thank you !
Last edited by Pascal C.Plusplus (2012-10-30 18:59:45)

If the problem is present outside tmux, then you haven't defined font variants your terminal is supposed to use, e.g.
URxvt.font:xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book:pixelsize=13
URxvt.boldFont:xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold:pixelsize=13
URxvt.italicFont:xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Oblique:pixelsize=13
URxvt.boldItalicFont:xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold Oblique:pixelsize=13
With the above, things should work as you wish in a bare urxvt session.
With tmux, however, the case looks differently and depends on the screen-256color terminal definition. There appear to be ways to work around the issue, though personally I'm happy with a regular font and slightly darker fg color for all the comments.

[SOLVED] `Vim/Gvim: set mouse=a works only in Gvim?

I'm diving into the world of (g)vim this weekend and although I'm starting to get the hang of things, I seem to be having a problem with the mouse functionality. I have set mouse=a specified in my .vimrc and gvim respects it, but when I run vi in a terminal session (urxvt) I have to explicitly type :set mouse=a in ex mode before it will work. Am I missing something?
Here's what I've got in my .vimrc (linked also ~/.gvimrc) so far:
" (G)vim settings
set nocompatible " use gVim defaults

I just had an issue with no sound after recent updates. Not sure it's the same problem you are having.
I found I had to open Audio Mixer, select Sound card: HDA Intel PCH (Alsa mixer), Select Controls, check box for Speaker and check box for Headphones. After doing this I found the Speaker volume was set at minimum (although Master and PCM were already set at maximum). Adjusted Speaker volume up and I finally had sound again.

Linux fonts are a muddle. Consoles can only display 256 characters, maybe 512. You simply cannot display many texts in a console. To navigate through the font mess in X, you need some familiarity with fontconfig. Xft uses fontconfig to select fonts. Fontconfig documentation is not user-friendly.
Droid is a family of fonts. My installation of the Droid family includes 27 different fonts. The command fc-list will list fonts matching a pattern. I usually filter the output by piping through grep. To list the Droid fonts, file name first followed by the fontconfig name, I use:
$ fc-list | grep Droid
Your fc-match results for Droid are from fontconfig doing its best to give you a readable display. Fontconfig cannot find a matching font for the name 'Droid', so it falls back to a "safe" font, 'Bitstream Vera Sans'.
XTerm or UXTerm or URxvt
I have my locale correctly configured, I think. I do not see any real advantage for uxterm over xterm. In my X resources, I include the lines,
xterm*termName: xterm-256color
XTerm*locale: true
For good glyph coverage with xterm, I have found 'DejaVu Sans Mono' to be among the better fonts. If I truly need utf8 coverage, I use urxvt. Urxvt allows one to use a ladder of fonts. If the character is not found in the first font listed, urxvt will search through the other listed fonts until it finds a glyph that can be displayed.
urxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book:antialias=false:size=8, \
xft:WenQuanYi Bitmap Song:size=8, \
xft:FreeSerif:style=Regular, \
xft:unifont:style=Medium:antialias=false
Here's a screenshot with three xterms using Droid, DejaVu Sans Mono, and Liberation Mono, plus one urxvt using the fonts in the code above. They all show the same portion of Markus Kuhn's utf8 test text.

[SOLVED] VIM: different syntax highlighting for new vs existing file

I've had this minor nagging issue for a while that I've been trying to figure out, but I just don't know where to look.
It is most obvious with LaTeX files (*.tex). When I create a new file with "vim file.tex" it is recognized as a latex file and I get syntax highlighting, but it seems odd, or off. When I close then reopen the same file, it gets "propper" syntax highlighting.
I gather that this must be because of the two different mechanisms for matching the syntax type: filename versus content. When the file is new, vim only uses the extension. Once there is a latex comand (e.g., "\documentclass{article}") it recognizes it as something else and the highlighting style is different.
It turns out just by actually elaborating exactly what the problem was, I was able to find the solution. I looked for how vim recognizes the files, and found two relevant lines in /usr/share/vim/vim73/filetype.vim on lines 2093 and 2094. Apparently the .tex filetype is not the same as .latex and others. I changed it so it was, and I got the desired behavior.
I thought about just not posting this - but it may be useful for others.

You're right about it being overridden. This change should be able to be placed in ~/.vimrc though.
Well that was foolish - I should have read the comments right below in that file. It says exactly how to set it in vimrc. I've now added the following to my ~/.vimrc and this is completely solved without modifying the /usr/... file.
let g:tex_flavor = "tex"

[Solved][VIM] E484: Can't open file syntax.vim

Hi all,
I've installed Archlinux few days ago on my netbook and yesterday i decided to configure Vim using plugins.
During plugins configuration, i messed up and i decided to revome all Vim files in my ~ folder in order to restart configuration.
However, since I've executed the `rm -R .vim .vimrc .viminfo` command, I can't re-activate Vim's syntax coloration using `syntax on` into my .vimrc file nor into Vim directly.
Here is the error message when I start Vim :
Error detected while processing /home/romain/.vimrc:
line 1:
E484: Can't open file /home/romain/.vim/syntax/syntax.vim

I've found this topic on BBS which seems to be the same problem as me but reinstalling vim or vi doesn't solve this problem.
I've tried to copy this syntax.vim file from /usr/share/vim/vim73/syntax/syntax.vim but it doesn't solve the problem and I want a clean solution without hacking my ~ folder ; moreover, this bug also appears being root while I haven't configured vim with the root account so it may be a problem into Vim's installation folders or something.
Thanks for your help and sorry I my english contains mistakes,
MicroJoe.

[solved] vim ftplugin vim-latexsuite doesn't load changes with chars

Hello!
I'd like to use some european characters and I found this thread.
Unfortunately I still get "/mathbf{}" when I type the ã. (My problem is the ö but I think if I manage to have the ã it will work with ö...)
The second problem is that I have to press escape twice to go to normal mode in a .tex file.
(In the other files one press is enough.)
All these troubles happen only on my x86_64 desktop.
I have vim-latexsuit-svn 1106-1 on both laptop and desktop from the AUR.
On my i686 laptop everything works fine with the 'default' .vimrc advised in the vim-latexsuite-manual.
There is also a different mapleader for compiling by default. (Which is not as annoying as the ö problem.)
I also get the ö-trouble when I log in from the laptop to my desktop.
Why are there so much differences?
I only remember having put some "set winaltkeys=no" in the wrong files on my laptop before I understood where is the right place.
(Where everything works fine.)
Here's my .vimrc
1 set tabstop=2
2 set number

I just removed vim, vim-auctex (didn't remember there was this...) and vim-latexsuite and reinstalled vim and vim-latexsuite.
I was obviously using a vim-auctex macro and I didn't know it... (This was a memorable lesson for removing packages you don't need. )
I realized that the Esc-issue happens if a placeholder is still active. Is it possible to change this behaviour? (I won't really care about that. => [solved])

[SOLVED] Some colored text in urxvt displaying oddly

Some colored text does not display correctly in the terminal - but not all. Here's a screenshot:
http://i.imgur.com/xrzCR16l.png
As you can see, the directory names displayed in blue and the executable files displayed in green (not sure why .vimrc is executable..) are all funky looking. However, my username and the regular file names are all displaying correctly. Also all the colored text in VIm in the terminal looks fine as well:
I've read through the Font Config Wiki - Applications Without Fontconfig Support but none of the configs suggested:
Xft.autohint: 0
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.rgba: rgb
in my .Xresources file change this behavior. Here is my full .Xresources file without the above settings, its not very long:
! special
*.foreground: #e9ebee
!#93a1a1
*.background: #002b36
*.cursorColor: #93a1a1
! black
*.color0: #002b36
*.color8: #657b83
! red
*.color1: #dc322f
*.color9: #dc322f
! green
*.color2: #859900
*.color10: #859900
! yellow
*.color3: #b58900
*.color11: #b58900

*.color14: #2aa198
! white
*.color7: #93a1a1
*.color15: #fdf6e3
URxvt*.transparent: true
URxvt.shading: 100
!URxvt.font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize==14:antialias=false
urxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book:antialias=false:size=9, \
xft:WenQuanYi Bitmap Song:size=8, \
xft:FreeSerif:style=Regular, \
xft:unifont:style=Medium:antialias=false
urxvt.scrollBar: false
I would have thought that it has something to do with the colors being defined incorrectly, but the ".vimrc" file is using the same color as my username, and my username is behaving correctly. I'm at a loss and attempting to google "Font Problems in urxvt" gets topics where the the font is incorrect throughout the whole terminal, not just in particular places. Anyone know how to correct this?

Try defining your bold font explicitly:
URxvt.boldFont: blah

[SOLVED]Vim dosnt recognize 256color urxvt
