Slackware :: Rxvt - Unicode And Transparency Not Working In 13.37
Apr 29, 2011I just finished up my clean install of Slackware 13.37. I use rxvt-unicode, and transparency seems to have stopped working.

Debian :: Rxvt-unicode And Vim Insert Mode
Jan 12, 2016When entering insert mode in a text file i want to edit while using rxvt-unicode, there is a p being inserted and a whole new line is entered as well. when i hit the insert key, vim enters insert mode but also types a p and forces whatever line i am on down a line. if num lock is not on, it will not enter insert mode by pressing the insert key but if i type using the keyboard and not the number pad, it still enters text. vim/mode keys work normally in xterm. is there some unusual configuration required in order to get vim to behave properly within rxvt-unicode?

Slackware :: Transparency Not Working With Urxvt?
Jan 29, 2011I'd like to conserve as many resources as possible, with that being said, I'm switching from konsole to urxvt. After compiling and configuring my ~/.Xdefaults file as such.
Code:
URxvt*termName: rxvt
URxvt*scrollBar_right: false
URxvt*scrollBar: false
URxvt*borderLess: false
[code]....
Then I run
Code:
xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults
By the way, running Slacware 13.1 x64 with Compiz. Still no transparency.
Slackware :: Use Uxrvt For Rxvt Instead?
Aug 22, 2010because rxvt doesn't support Unicode (UTF-8 in my case), I'd like to use urxvt (rxvt-unicode) instead. I installed it using the SlackBuild script from SlackBuilds.org. As it is not needed for all users, on the one hand, and because I would like to avoid assumptions about which shell the user prefers, I thought I'd put this into a ~/.profile:
[code]...
Unfortunately, the alias command is just ignored, although ~/.profile is read. I know this, because there are some variables defined and exported in this file, too, and they are evaluated. Now I wonder: Why doesn't have the alias any effect? In fact, after I do. Because /usr/local precedes /usr/bin in $PATH, and because the evaluation of the search PATH stops on the first hit, this works: Whenever I issue rxvt on the command line, urxvt is started. There's even a little advantage compared to the alias approach: The window title is "rxvt", although uxrvt is, what's actually being executed. Although this is all I need for the moment, I'd like to learn, what's wrong with my first attempt using alias.
Slackware :: Paste To Another Application - Get Rxvt To Use Clipboard?
Apr 9, 2011Using fluxbox in 13.1. If I select text in rxvt and then click the mouse wheel it pastes the selection at the cursor. But apparently it does not use the clipboard to do this, because if I Ctrl-v into another app, say jedit, it doesnt paste the rxvt selection, it pastes the last thing that was put on the clipboard. Is there any way to get rxvt to use the clipboard?

Aug 17, 2010I have a slight problem. Whenever I type something in rxvt, and sometimes it's a loooong something, I end up having to make it span multiple lines, as do you, probably. Anyway, my problem is that if I'm in any console at all, (aside from the TTY console and such) and I try to go multiple lines, this is what happens:
Code:
[root@SectionI13] > aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
After the first pass...
Code:
aaaaaaaectionI13] > aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
And after the second pass...
Code:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Now, I'd be fine and dandy with this, if it wasn't so hard to figure out what I was typing after the first pass, because it's just plain hard to understand a command when there's the second half of it in front of the first half of it.
Slackware :: Get Rid Of Unicode Console Fonts And Keyboard Layout?
Nov 23, 2010I use Slackware 13.1. So far I chose during the installation of the system lat2a-16.psfu.gz font and my applications worked well in console mode. Now the same applications with the same font display gridded rectangles instead of some diacritical characters. In /etc/rc.d/rc.font I have standard setfont -v lat2a-16.psfu.gz command:
/etc/rc.d/rc.font:
Code:
setfont -v lat2a-16.psfu.gz
In /etc/rc.d/rc.keymap I have standard loadkeys pl2.map command:
/etc/rc.d/rc.keymap:
Code:
if [ -x /usr/bin/loadkeys ]; then /usr/bin/loadkeys pl2.map; fi
Standard setfont -v lat2a-16.psfu.gz command reports for some reason loading of the Unicode mapping table:
# setfont -v lat2a-16.psfu.gz
Code:
Loading 256-char 8x16 font from file /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/lat2a-16.psfu.gz
Loading Unicode mapping table...
[code]....
I examined /etc/rc.d directory but I didn�t find the setting switching the console to the Unicode mode. The same with env and set commands outputs. I tried to overwrite Slackware 13.1 /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/lat2a-16.psfu.gz with lat2a-16.psfu.gz file provided in kbd packages from Slackware 12.2 and 11.0 but the results were the same. I suppose the problem is caused by improper handling of the system settings by the kernel but I�m not sure.how can I get rid of Unicode console font and keyboard layout and come back to ISO-8859-2 font and keyboard?
Slackware :: Fluxbox + Cairo-compmgr Questions About Transparency?
May 25, 2011ive used openbox for quite some time, but recently decided to make the switch to fluxbox. i have gotten everything up and running except for true transparency. i have seen screenshots in which this works, but i have not been able to duplicate the results.
in openbox, all i had to do was run cairo-compmgr at startup and my terminals were automatically transparent, and all the window effects i selected with cairo-compmgr were applied when i chose them. in fluxbox, i run cairo-compmgr, it starts up fine, and i know its running because i can use it's transparency settings to set whole windows to alpha (super + mouse scrolling), and the little "tab" buttons that fluxbox has have shadow effects drawn on them. the actual windows, however are not effected by cairo-compmgr running in the slightest. the windows themselves dont have shadows, and my terminals do not use transparency at all. even my xchat notifications have black boxes around them because not transparency is being used.

Slackware :: Fixed Conky / KDE4 Transparency - Doesn't Disappear When Click Desktop
Jun 19, 2010This works on my Slackware64 13.1 using KDE 4.4.4, Conky version 1.8.0. This is a simple .conkyrc tweak that doesn't need feh, it doesn't have the distracting faun shadow-border and most importantly, it doesn't disappear when you click your desktop (On my system anyway). These are the relevant sections to edit:
Code:
own_window_colour black
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_argb_130
own_window_type override
own_window yes
I found that getting rid of the own_window_argb_values yes suggested in other fixes and replacing it with a specific alpha and then changing window type to override solved all my issues. I've noticed no bugs or strange happenings. This seems to be a common problem with a lot of workaround solutions. I think this is a much more elegant way. Edit: Not persistant... After 2 reboots it's back to normal.
Software :: Rxvt Vs Elinks For Copy / Paste?
Jan 13, 2010After an afternoon of googling, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm the only rxvt / elinks user who also wants to copy text from the browser! My problem is thus... rxvt uses Shift-Left-Click to paste, and elinks uses Shift-Left-Click to select. I need a way to either change elinks (preferably without disabling mouse support - which solves the problem BTW) or RXVT. RXVT is on cygwin, and elinks is on archlinux.

View 1 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Displaying Unicode Characters
Feb 19, 2011I wrote a java program that writes strings to a file. The strings contain foreign language characters. When I run the program in Windows, the output file shows the foreign characters. However, when I attempt the same operation in Linux, the output file shows a white question mark in a black background instead of the foreign characters. The same Linux system could display the foreign characters if I copy the output file from Windows to Linux. I tried to create the output file using gedit that my program would then add additional strings to and chose Unicode-32 for encoding but still the same problem.
What could I do to get the program to display the foreign language characters from output text file?
Programming :: How Renders Unicode Characters?
Oct 13, 2009I am working on an application that will convert English text into equivalent Indian language text. Since Unicode is the standard, I will be using it. In most of the western languages each code-value directly refers to the glyph index and placing the code-values side by side will give the required display. This one to one mapping is not possible in Indian languages where rendering syllables is required rather than rendering just consonants and vowels. Many of the complex characters are made up by combining several unicode values.
My question here is: How Linux renders this Unicode text correctly? More specifically, what package is used? I believe in Windows they use Uniscribe for rendering.I believe there will be an operating system library for handling the text rendering. Or do I need to write my own rendering engine? How programs like Firefox, GEdit shows unicode text? Do they also have proprietary engines for correct rendering?

View 5 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE :: Nautilus Not Displaying Unicode Characters
May 6, 2010I'm using openSUSE 11.2 with GNOME dual-booted with Windows 7, been installed from scratch for like a week. The bottom line is: Nautilus displays a series of matrices, "x"s and other symbols instead of characters in Hebrew.
Screenshot:
Now, it worked fine at the beginning but once I started installing updates it went. I installed a whole bunch of updates and programs so I don't know what changed it. The weird part is (as you can see in the screenshot) that the shortcut to the left of a Hebrew-named folder shows up correctly only the first time Nautilus opens after starting. So as soon as I closed the Nautilus window after taking the screenshot and reopened it, it also displayed like the others. The screenshot is of my ntfs Windows drive, however the problem occurs in my home folder as well.
Here's my fstab anyway:
Code:

Debian :: Perl Script - Converting Unicode To ASCII?
May 7, 2010I'm trying to write a Perl script that will convert text to ASCII. I'm particularly interested in converting files created with MS Windows, so I used Notepad to create a few test files.
I have had some success with the following script:
[[ Script Deleted -- see subsequent posts ]]
After coming back /home/ to Debian, I used file to examine the file types:
$ file ansi.txt unicode_big-endian.txt unicode.txt utf8.txt
ansi.txt: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
unicode_big-endian.txt: Big-endian UTF-16 Unicode character data, with CRLF line terminators
unicode.txt: Little-endian UTF-16 Unicode character data, with CRLF, CR line terminators
utf8.txt: UTF-8 Unicode (with BOM) text, with CRLF line terminators
After running:
$ uni2ascii.pl -i ansi.txt -c ASCII -o new_ansi.txt
$ uni2ascii.pl -i unicode_big-endian.txt -c utf16 -o new_unicode_big-endian.txt
$ uni2ascii.pl -i unicode.txt -c utf16 -o new_unicode.txt
$ uni2ascii.pl -i utf8.txt -c utf8 -o new_utf8.txt
Everything appears good:
$ file new_ansi.txt new_unicode_big-endian.txt new_unicode.txt new_utf8.txt
new_ansi.txt: ASCII text
new_unicode_big-endian.txt: ASCII text
new_unicode.txt: ASCII text
new_utf8.txt:ASCII text
But the "little-endian file" does not convert properly:
$ md5sum new_ansi.txt new_unicode_big-endian.txt new_unicode.txt new_utf8.txt
c4def7932bc151b9e786b6ca1299162c new_ansi.txt

c4def7932bc151b9e786b6ca1299162c new_utf8.txt
When I use cat to print the new_unicode.txt file in an Emacs terminal, a ^@ appears on the last (empty) line. When I open the new_unicode.txt with KWrite, a warning message tells me that the file is a "binary" and "saving it will result in a corrupt file."
Debian Multimedia :: Install Font With Better Unicode Support?
Mar 20, 2015I'm running a Debian Wheezy system. There are a lot of characters I want to use from the U+1F*** set of characters. But when I use them or look them up in the character map, all I see is the square with the code inside. Is there some font package I can install from the repository that has better support for these characters?
E.g., when I am instant messaging my girlfriend, I like to use the HEAVY BLACK HEART character (❤, U+2764). But there are a whole bunch of other "romantic" characters that are listed but not actually displaying for me, like the KISS MARK (U+1F48B), which I would like to use. These characters apparently show up on her system, which is an android phone.
