Salix Forums

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.
