Problems with urxvt and fluxbox after upgrade to 13.37

[Tristar]

Hi,
I've recently upgraded my Salix from 13.1 to 13.37 as described in the Documentation.

Now I've some strange problems.
1. Something is wrong with the urxvt terminal. When I open a file in vim within this terminal there are some additional characters between the text. The same file opened within a xterm looks fine. This is how a part of my .vimrc file looks like within the urxvt:

Code: Select all

e[36m" Color for xiterm, rxvt, nxterm, color-xterm :
e[33mif e[36mhase[31m(e[35m"terminfo"e[31m)
e[33mset e[34mt_Co=8
e[33mset e[34mt_Sf=\e[3%p1%dm
e[33mset e[34mt_Sb=\e[4%p1%dm
e[33melse
e[33mset e[34mt_Co=8
e[33mset e[34mt_Sf=\e[3%dm
e[33mset e[34mt_Sb=\e[4%dm
e[33mendif

There is also something else that got my attention: When I type the 'clear' command within urxvt I get the following error:

Code: Select all

'rxvt-unicode-256color': unknown terminal type.

2. I can't set up a background image in fluxbox anymore. After a reboot there is the same boring blue desktop again. The .fluxbox folder contain a file named lastwallpaper with the wallpaper that was set before.

I hope somebody can help or at least give me some hints.

Try adding

Code: Select all

export TERM=xterm

in your ~/.bashrc

Thanks for your response, gapan. Your suggestion worked.
I've added the information into my .Xdefaults file with the line

Code: Select all

URxvt.termName:   rxvt

and there are no problems with vim anymore.

For my other problem with the background I found a solution that works for me.
In the .fluxbox folder there is a file named overlay with an entry which prevent styles from setting the background. I've uncommented the corresponding line and the background appeared again after a reboot.
