@Ne01eX: feel free to develop your own fork of Slackware with all adaptations you think that your country and language need and leave us alone.

@Ne01eX, I liked the video. Nice architecture.

So, you added that poor Russian guy to your ignore list for showing us a video of The Russian National Anthem?

WOW! That's so "anti-Russian", man!

I am pretty much opposed to the governments of any country with dictatorial tendencies: Russia, Turkey, Syria, China, North-Korea and the US of A - to name the most high-ranking. I also dislike very much, the populists and nationalists rearing their ugly heads in many of the not-yet-so-dictatorial countries. People always seem to forget about their history and fail to see the trap that is being laid by these fundamentalists - creating dualism and putting people in camps.

But that does not mean I dislike the people living in dicatorial countries. To the contrary: I sympathize with people who try to make the most of a life that is not spent in total freedom.

Still, to post a useless update to two desktop files here on this thread when those should have been sent to the SCIM developers instead; and then ending the post with a Youtube link to get off on some nationalist anthem, is beyond me. Hence getting added to my ignore list.

Thanks. I had no idea. It was nicely done. I'm not familiar with Russian music except for iamthemorning, Origa, & T.A.T.U:

This song is the funniest English sounding song in any language I've come across. I wonder if it was done on purpose: https://youtu.be/Qh3vvQgl_tY

Thank you Pat

Been hoping for this for a long time

In light of this now shipping in current, but not previously - people previously using rxvt may find their terminals borked when when connecting to 14.1, 14.2 etc.
Would you consider adding an extra package in extra for them containing the terminfo, the doinst running tic? (the termcap included in the package but possibly not appended?)

It would also be nice for me too, one less thing to do.

This may fix that for those fonts, from my .Xresources

! urxvt puts too much space between characters resulting in a very wide terminal
! URxvt*font: -*-tamsyn-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
! Tamsyn doesnt need it but all other fonts need the space reduced
URxvt.letterSpace: -1

This message not for Bob. This message for all, who liked his post.

1. You watch a lot of TV. :-\ To very many TV.

2. .desktop files for SCIM in my previous post included strings into russian language.

What preview-song should I have made in your opinion? o_O Rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air? o_O WTF? :-\

This is my language. This is my country, this is _my_ _hymn_ of _my_ _country_. And always will be so. And I do not care what kind of political system I have in my country. I am - beyond politics. :-\

3 ...

4. It seems I now understand why in Slackware there is no foreign languages support "from-box"... :-\

5. I'm Sorry for this link. This not translated to Engish (Ойся ты ойся, ты меня не бойся):

P.S. Do not be afraid when the Russians flankin with swords. These swords may one day save your asses. :-D

None. A song doesn't bring anything useful to the discussion, just makes us loose time.

You may listen it 24 hours per day if you want, no problem. But a lot of us do not want to hear it in this thread where it is off topic.

Got it?

The ncurses package already contains terminfo/termcap definitions for rxvt. Does more need to be done than that?

You sir, are a Star! Thank you.

I normally use xterm with Terminus bitmap font as I really like having the ability to use DECDHL. I've only recently started to play with rxvt-unicode (I build it with --disable-perl though) so I'm still working on my resources file for it. It doesn't do DECDHL which is a shame, but it seems to do some other things better than xterm: in particular it does DECPKAM/DECCKM correctly, which xterm gets very wrong.

. Perhaps add to /etc/inputrc in the etc-15.0 package

Code:

# for urxvt
"\e[7~": beginning-of-line
"\e[8~": end-of-line

to activate the urxvt key-bindings for the Home and End keys for all users.

This doesn't seem to have any effect here.

Yes, home/end appear to work here without need of any additional configuration.
