[Solved] zsh and pkexec

[Synopsys] Edit /etc/shells manually, and add /bin/zsh to the list of shells and specify the full path to the app in the policy file. i.e. /usr/bin/leafpad and NOT just leafpad. The policy file for gparted serves as a good one to model your own policy files after.
My environment variable SHELL is still being set to /bin/zsh even though binaries have been moved to /usr/bin/zsh making pkexec complain and fail to run apps in privileged mode.
Where is SHELL set and where would be the most appropriate place to fix it globally for all users?

[SOLVED]ZSH and regular expressions

Hi
I am getting into regular expressions and i have noticed that with my .zshrc file i have some problem. In bash this expression works:
\^\[^#]
but not also in zsh. I have also noted that regular expression works fine with other zshrc configurations found in archwiki (like grml) but i want to have my configuration. And i really can't find what command make a difference
My .zshrc file is pulled from this site https://github.com/slashbeast/things/bl … s/DOTzshrc.

Could you try being a bit more specific?
Firstly, i am sorry i didn't post the output. I should have know better.
Secondly, chill out.
I have used above regex with grep command. Output from terminal is:
zsh: bad pattern: ^[^#]
In bash it works perfectly.
If i issue "setopt re_match_pcre" i have the same ouput as above.
EDIT: If i issue "unsetopt no_match" it actually works but i have to change the regex from "\^\[^#]" to "\^[^#]" otherwise i get the same output as above. In bash both options work.

[SOLVED] Zsh and the move to /usr/bin

I've done everything in the article, and I have no unofficial packages.
However, I do use zsh as my shell, so I thought I might as well ask before doing anything:
Blog wrote:# pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem,bash
# pacman -S bash
# pacman -Su
Should I replace bash with zsh here? I do have both bash and zsh installed.
EDIT: I did indeed forget to mount /boot. After doing that the update worked perfectly.

[SOLVED] problem with zsh and urxvt and keybinding

I hope this is the right forum to post this problem, else please move it to the right forum.
I have zsh and urxvt installed and I am quite pleased with it, except for one problem,
When I push the delete button in urxvt I get a ~ instead of deleting the next character. In aterm and xterm I don't have this problem.
I'm sure that there is a way to make the right keybinding for this, but I can't find the solution. Is there someone who can point me in the right direction?
Last edited by NeoXP (2009-02-24 21:00:02)

These are my most current bindkeys...
case $TERM in (rxvt*) #urxvt
bindkey "\e[7~" beginning-of-line
bindkey "\e[8~" end-of-line
esac
bindkey "^A" beginning-of-line
bindkey "^E" end-of-line
bindkey '^?' backward-delete-char
bindkey "\e[3~" delete-char
Open a terminal, hit ctrl-V, and press delete. It should print the key generated. The first ^[ is escaped as \e.
So, on my terminal I see ^[[3~
I put bindkey "\e[3~" delete-char in my ~/.zshrc, and there you go.

Zsh (and Bash) Backgrounds Refuse to Change Color [SOLVED]

I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, but here goes.
I installed Arch about a week ago and decided that I wanted to change the color of the terminal. I followed the guide on the Arch Wiki, (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Color_Bash_Prompt), creating all of the necessary files and copy-and-pasting all of the given text into those files. When I restarted my terminal, nothing happened. Fed up, I tried installing Zsh + oh-my-zsh. I successfully installed the two and installed a zsh theme, but the background color still does not change. The text color, however, changes to the appopriate colors, but the background color remains white.
Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Edit: I didn't specify, but I really don't care which terminal I end up using, just as long as the colors work.
Last edited by Thermite (2012-12-19 01:23:20)

zsh and bash are shells, not terminal emulators. There is no "default" terminal, if you're using Arch. You had to install a terminal emulator at some point. Or maybe if you followed the beginner's guide you're using xterm. What window manager are you using?
There are ways to set the background color in rxvt and in xterm using your .Xresources file. Look at the wiki topic for each of those terminals for more information.
Maybe an easier method for you would be to install a terminal emulator that has menu support, like Terminator, LXTerminal, or Sakura. Then you can just right-click in the terminal and use the menu to set the background color and opacity.

[Solved] $LANG and zsh prompt color problems

Hi,
I recently discovered, trying to use Newsbeuter, that, in X, certain parts of my profile aren't set. Until now it only seemed to be $LANG, which is empty if I echo it from urxvt in XMonad, but yields the correct setting if I do the same in a tty.
To make things worse now, my zsh seems to be acting up. I have differently colored prompts for my normal user and root. But since a few days ago, the root colors aren't applied unless I source .zshrc again after sudo-ing.
I updated a lot recently and it's gotten hard to track these issues, especially the $LANG one, to a specific update. The only thing I know is that my desktop, running Kdemod, doesn't have these problems.
I'm using Slim and XMonad. Neither issue is limited to a certain terminal.
Most of my configs can be found in my GitHub dotfiles repository. If anything's missing to get a clear picture, ask for it.
My rc.conf can be found here [Gist].

I finally went through the new sudoers file and got mine to work, see this thread for details. Using that, and using a workaround for libetc, your prompt works for me.
You appear not to use libetc, but if you do and don't also have root set up to use libetc, you will need to create a link to/from ~/.zshrc from/to ~/.config/zshrc
I actually just solved it in another way. Your original point, that sudo changed it's default behavior was the key. In the official zsh documentation somewhere it says that all settings that are wanted for root should be put into /root/.zshrc. I just did that and it works.
Your solution works too by the way. Just enabling
Defaults env_keep += "HOME"
does the trick and also (logically) re-enables other things that I hadn't even realized were gone yet like syntax highlighting in vim. I guess I should read into the nature of said privilige escalation problems. Maybe there's a way to selectively keep parts of HOME.
So thank you very much for the help.

[solved] problem with zsh and makepkg

I've had this problem for quite a while, but now finally it really starts pissing me off
When I want to build a package with makepkg and the PKGBUILD has versioned dependencies, makepkg isn't able to resolve the dependencies.
An example to demonstrate what this looks like
PKGBUILD:
# Maintainer: Army <[email protected]>
pkgname=ardour3-svn
_realname=ardour3
pkgver=7501
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A multichannel hard disk recorder and digital audio workstation"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://www.ardour.org"
license=('GPL')
depends=("util-linux-ng" "liblrdf>=0.4.0" "liblo" "libgnomecanvasmm>=2.12.0" "slv2>=0.6.4" "aubio")
makedepends=("boost>=1.39" "cppunit>=1.12.0" "soundtouch" "libvorbis>=1.1.2" "flac>=1.2.1" "python>=2.3" "jack-audio-connection-kit-svn")
source=(${pkgname}.desktop)
_svntrunk=http://subversion.ardour.org/svn/ardour2/branches/3.0
_svnmod=${_realname}
build() {
cd ${srcdir}
rm -rf ${_svnmod}-build
svn co ${_svntrunk} ${_svnmod}
cp -rf ${_svnmod} ${_svnmod}-build
cd ${_svnmod}-build
./waf configure --prefix=/usr --configdir=/etc --tranzport --freesound --freedesktop --lv2 -p
./waf build
DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" ./waf install
# install some freedesktop.org compatibility
install -Dm644 "${srcdir}/${pkgname}.desktop" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/applications/${_realname}.desktop"
md5sums=('2736c648e452ae45c703e48cf64f75e7')
and this is the output:
% makepkg -sir
==> Bestimme letzte SVN-Revision...
-> Gefundene Version: 7501
==> Erstelle Paket: ardour3-svn 7501-1 (Di 27. Jul 00:44:01 CEST 2010)

==> Installiere fehlende Abhängigkeiten...
Passwort:
zsh:1: 1.39 not found
==> Fehlende Abhängigkeiten:
-> boost>=1.39
-> cppunit>=1.12.0
Seems like it changes
makedepends=("boost>=1.39" "cppunit>=1.12.0" ...)
to
makedepends=("boost" "1.39" "cppunit" "1.12.0" ...)
It doesn't matter if I put the dependencies into " or ' nothing, it's always the same output. I already created a new user to verify the situation, same problem there. With bash as shell all runs fine.
I use grml-zsh-config from [extra], but that cannot be the trouble maker, I tested it with an uninstalled grml-zsh-config and a blank ~/.zshrc, still the same.
How do you zsh users do this??
Thanks for any idea!

Oh boy, sorry for these many posts, but without my sudo replacement package things are even worse!

This command works with nosudo installed ... I get the same errors when I do
% bash --login
$ echo $SHELL
/bin/zsh
$ export SHELL=/bin/bash
$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
$ export LANG=C
$ makepkg -sir

Am I just still too much of a noob to see the obvious mistake I make or is makepkg really screwed up? Because in case I don't do anything wrong, I'll file a bug report asap!

[solved] zsh, compinit and colors

Hi all,
I've just updated my zsh package to version 4.3.11-1 and now I can't run two of its built-in functions, namely compinit and colors.
My .zshrc contains the following code:
# rest of ~/.zshrc ...
zstyle :compinstall filename '/home/andre/.local/.zshrc'
autoload -U compinit
compinit
zstyle ':completion:*' completer _complete _match _approximate
zstyle ':completion:*:match:*' original only
zstyle ':completion:*:approximate:*' max-errors 1 numeric
zstyle ':completion:*' menu select=5
zstyle ':completion:*' squeeze-slashes true
zstyle ':completion:*:*:kill:*' menu yes select
zstyle ':completion:*:kill:*' force-list always
zstyle ':completion:*:cd:*' ignore-parents parent pwd
# colors array (e.g. $fg[blue])
autoload colors
colors
# rest of ~/.zshrc ...
But when I open up a terminal (or type any of these two functions) I get the messages:
/home/ars/.zshrc:57: compinit: function definition file not found
/home/ars/.zshrc:69: colors: function definition file not found
I guess this isn't something very complex, but I couldn't find anything about it.
TIA.

So what do lines 57 and 69 of your .zshrc file say specificially?
It's hard to tell what the line numbers are from what you posted, so.....
Also are those functions actually in your /usr/share/zsh/<version number>/functions directory?
colors appears to be in Misc and compinit appears to be in Completion in mine (version 4.3.10).

[Solved] zsh (vi-mode) and RPS1

I'm a zsh (oh-my-zsh) user and vi-mode plugin works: https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-z … plugin.zsh
So I want to improve it:
function zle-line-init zle-keymap-select {
zle reset-prompt
# change cursor color to reflect vicmd mode from http://andreasbwagner.tumblr.com/post/804629866/zsh-cursor-color-vi-mode
zle-keymap-select () {
if [ $TERM = "screen" ]; then
if [ $KEYMAP = vicmd ]; then
echo -ne '\033P\033]12;#FF3333\007\033\\'
else
echo -ne '\033P\033]12;#99FF33\007\033\\'
fi
elif [ $TERM != "linux" ]; then
if [ $KEYMAP = vicmd ]; then
echo -ne "\033]12;#FF3333\007"
else
echo -ne "\033]12;#99FF33\007"
fi
fi
}; zle -N zle-keymap-select
zle-line-init () {
zle -K viins
if [ $TERM = "screen" ]; then
echo -ne '\033P\033]12;#99FF33\007\033\\'
elif [ $TERM != "linux" ]; then
echo -ne "\033]12;#99FF33\007"
fi
}; zle -N zle-line-init
bindkey -v
# if mode indicator wasn't setup by theme, define default
if [[ "$MODE_INDICATOR" == "" ]]; then
MODE_INDICATOR="%{$fg_bold[red]%}<%{$fg[red]%}<<%{$reset_color%}"
fi
function vi_mode_prompt_info() {
echo "${${KEYMAP/vicmd/$MODE_INDICATOR}/(main|viins)/}"
# define right prompt, if it wasn't defined by a theme
if [[ "$RPS1" == "" && "$RPROMPT" == "" ]]; then
RPS1='$(vi_mode_prompt_info)'
fi
My theme did not defined the right prompt, so I'm expecting that "<<<" as RPS1 in vicmd mode, but for some odd reason it did not appeared, only the cursor color changed as expected. What is wrong with it?

You basically define function zle-line-init and zle-keymap-select to reset the prompt (your first 3 lines) and then you overwrite them to change the cursor colors so 'zle reset-prompt' is never called.
