Urxvt and pacman

I managed to put urxvt transparent in the background in openbox, just perfect. The problem is, when I install something with pacman, instead of the usual single line indicating the download status of the package, it prints a new line every 2 seconds, and it's starting to get annoying. Is there anyway to override this, is this even normal?

sorry, my bad.
I had set urxvt too small, so the download bar could not display correctly, I changed the size and it fixed it.
Thanks though.

Seem to be in mirror and pacman hell

Hi,
reinstalled arch, with 5/1/12 core 32 bit disk with KDE4 but despite enabling an Australian mirror could only get [core remote extra remote community remote] at first for the install.
However now this has all disappeared since upgrading and pacman seems broken plus the mirrorlist seems kaput also.
I wonder if anyone has any idea what to do or is it a reinstall again.
Here are the files and terminal comments but no luck figuring this out to fix this.
Regards
El Zorro

[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.

(SOLVED) problem with dbus and pacman

For whatever silly reason, I did a 'pacman -S dbus' to make sure I had it installed and the result has really screwed up dbus. Although pacman reads it as installed, other programs don't and I can't start anything that relies on dbus (like thunar for one). Trying to start thunar for example:
thunar: error while loading shared libraries: libdbus-1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
Also, everytime I try to install anything I got the following error message from pacman a dozen times or so before it proceeds:
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local//dbus/1.0.2-4/depends: no such file or directory
what happened. How do I get dbus back and working?
Last edited by b9anders (2008-01-14 10:51:40)

I might not know what happened, but maybe u can re-install base group packages from the CD and then boot back into arch linux and update from there?
I have also setup a install from within another linux OS, follow the wiki. It uses a pacman.static that is self reliant upon itself. U should not need any dependencies like dbus for that to work. Maybe u can use pacman.static to fix your problem.
Just a few ideas for you to ponder on.

[Solved] Localtime is messed up, and pacman doesn't work anymore

Hi everyone,
I'm quite new to Arch Linux but I've succeded so far in installing the base system, setting up my wifi card (wasn't easy) and installing xfce4. When I first installed everything seemed to work fine (wifi, dropbox, pacman, etc.) but I noticed that my time doesn't reflect the current local time. I've selected America/Montreal in rc.conf and through "Orage Globaltime" in xfce4 but both return the UTC instead of the localtime. Also, when I try to get the UTC from Orage, it returns my localtime instead (Montreal)...
So there's definitely something wrong there. I've then had a look at the forums/wiki and found that a network synchronisation should be used to correct the issue (such as ntp) but now pacman can't connect to anything. It returns something like this when I try to install/update/search:
$ sudo pacman -Syu
Password:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.us.leaseweb.net : Connection time-out
^C (keeps on getting time-outs if I don't interrupt)
Some info on my system:
General info: as stated above, internet over wifi (wlan0) works, pacman times-out and the local time is off.

My first guess was that the localtime offset was preventing me from accessing pacman's repositories, but since it worked yesterday (when the time was already corrupt) it seems otherwize. Now I'm quite lost, especially since no one seems to report every pacman repository being down... could anyone please help me solve this problem?
Thanks!

Thanks I'll look at that entry. Still I'd like to point out that this page clearly says that the timezone is to be set in rc.conf, which is a bit confusing. I must've followed this guide to get to my current configuration. I am dual booting with multiple other systems (xubuntu, win7, puppy, crunchbang) so from what I've read win7 might be the problem, but I haven't started it since i installed arch and my time has been off from the start.
Should I simply use NTP now that pacman is working again?
Thanks

Openbox issues: URxvt and Trash

Hi folks,
I am migrating from XFCE to Openbox, and I have a couple of issues bugging me.
1) URxvt does not load .Xresources automatically as it does with XFCE. I have worked it around by adding
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources &
to my autostart. Is there any better solution out there?
2) I can't get Trash and other mounted devices to show up in Thunar's left panel as they do in XFCE.
Thunar-volman and gvfs are installed. I use LXDM as a login manager.
thunar --daemon &
is in autostart.
Any ideas?
What makes me scratch my head is that my crunchbang laptop using Openbox and Thunar does not have these problems.
Thank you.

Hi,
thank you for your answers.
So problem 1) is solved.
Straight to 2): Polkit-gnome is installed and xinitrc is the vanilla from skel:
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
And yes, I use LXDM. So, how do I get Trash and volumes to show up in Thunar?

Devanagari in urxvt and keyboard layout...

I just started taking Hindi this semester, and I was wondering how to get urxvt to work with the Devanagari script. I know the man page specifically mentions that it doesn't support all the complex combining rules, but it should still work a little bit, right? I can't get anything to display except squares.
Also, what is the keyboard layout or variant for this script? Does anyone know how I could switch layouts on-the-fly with a keyboard shortcut or something (for instance, xbindkeys)?
Thanks in advance. Hopefully somebody can help; I realize this is a little bit esoteric.

URxvt and the mouse wheel

Hi all!
I would like to know if it's possible to scroll down in man or less with the mouse will using URxvt.
Thank you.

A bad GPU? Screen? Connector cable between the two? It's difficult to say.
The best thing that you can do is to take your machine into your local Apple Store or AASP and have them diagnose the machine and get an estimate for repairing the machine, both of which should be free.
If it turns out that the problem is with the GPU or the screen, be ready for some sticker shock to repair your unit.
Good luck,
Clinton

Urxvt and hyperlink support

So I have been trying to get support for url launching in my urxvt-256color terminal, but I can't seem to figure out the problem. I know perl is installed and working because the perl module that copies what I have highlighted into the clipboard works perfectly.
Here is a copy of my .Xdefaults:
http://pastie.org/701283
I am using Iron from AUR as my web browser, but it is also worth noting that I tried using Firefox in that field unsuccessfully.

Here is a working one I have for standard urxvt, but I guess the 256-color one shouldn't be any different:
urxvt.perl-ext-common: default,matcher
urxvt.urlLauncher: opera
urxvt.matcher.button: 3
It's worth noting that this starts opera when I press the 2nd mouse button. Why that is matched as button 3 in the config, I don't know. You should try to experiment with different matcher.button-values and see how that works.

Urxvt and äöå

Hey!
I have this really hard-to-solve problem, so I decided to ask for help..
My keymap works just fine in other programs except for urxvt. Even in urxvt, all the other buttons except for ä å and ö work fine. Copy-pasting them doesn't work either, all I get is ?'s. alsamixer and ncmpc -> ncurses layouts also display incorrectly.
I've tried exporting different LC_ALL:s, rc.conf's... Nothing seems to work.. (Yes, I did remember to use locale-gen etc.)
At the moment I simply have my rc.conf set as en_US.utf8, same for LC_ALL. I just use XKbLayout "fi" in my xorg.conf and everything else seems to work properly.
I do get these error messages in my shell:
urxvt: default locale unavailable, check LC_* and LANG variables. Continuing.
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
........bla bla about the language settings
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
This is probably just a matter of finding the right locale settings but I've tried and haven't succeeded so..

Ohh I missed the dot at first..
Let's see now..
Yeah, seems to work. Thanks! I didn't even have such a locale in my locale.gen at first though, so that's why I couldn't figure it out.

URxvt and REAL transparency

Hi there!
When I start urxvt with "urxvt -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444" it really shows true transparency.
But when I enter all those stuff in .Xdefaults and start it, there'S only pseydo transparency!
Here's my Xdefaults
URxvt.saveLines: 10000
URxvt.scrollBar: false
!URxvt.inheritPixmap: true
URxvt.tintColor: black
URxvt.shading: 20
URxvt.foreground: white
URxvt.background: black
URxvt.secondaryScroll: true
URxvt.font: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:pixelsize=11
Urxvt.depth: 32
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,matcher
URxvt.urlLauncher: firefox
URxvt.matcher.button: 1
URxvt.matcher.pattern.1: \\bwww\\.[\\w-]\\.[\\w./?&@#-]*[\\w/-]
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you

And where is this part:
rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444
Put that for background.

Urxvt and copy/paste-ing.

Howdy guys.
I'm new to arch, been loving it. Enjoying configuring (and learning) about the parts i need thus far.
This is a weird question though. Basically i'm using urxvt (seems popular, and so far i like it) as my terminal, but i have no idea how to say.... copy and paste from it?..
Basically i would like to cat a file, and copy certain sections from it, so i can post them in forums and the like. And also the inverse, be able to copy and paste lines from examples online into my configs.
So far i've kinda been putting the windows side by side and typing it (<--- not very efficient and very annoying!).
I'm using xmonad for a tiling manager and that's it, so if i need to install maybe an addon into Urxvt or Xmonad i need to know which one to hunt down XD.
Thanks

Yeah that or shift-insert seems to work for copying text from the clipboard to urvxt.
However how do i copy stuff from urxvt's terminal into another app?. Just selecting it seems to copy it for urxvt, but other apps don't seem to get this updated clipboard stuff (they will still copy i copied from them).
EDIT: okay you are right, it seems to work that way . Just weird and have to hit it a few times for the laptop to work with it. Is there a keyboard shortcut for the left+right click? (Shift-insert doesn't work in other programs)

URXVT and black bar graphics glitch. *annoying*

I have a problem, I'm using xmonad (display with no borders), and running "urxvt +sb -tr -fg green -bg black -sh 30" gives me a black bar glitch at the bottom and right hand side of the urxvt window seen at
http://img102.imageshack.us/img102/4796/scrotshot.png
Anyone know how to get rid of this black bar? It seems to be related to the -bg color since it changes to the bg color every time I change the value for -bg.
It seems that the borders get fixed when I switch to a different desktop (modkey + number of desktop) and back again to the same desktop.
By fix, I mean the borders are the same as the background, but now when I move the window, the same spots take the color of the background that was previously on them to the new spots they are moved to. If this is confusing, I'll gladly add some screenshots to illustrate what I mean.
This is what I'm using to launch urxvt to get the effect: "urxvt -tr +sb -fg green -bg black -sh 25"
Thanks for taking the time.
