The ncurses package already contains terminfo/termcap definitions for rxvt. Does more need to be done than that?
Ah, I couldn't tell you without double checking - I've done it to all my machines, one of the first things on every install - urxvt is my everyday terminal.
From memory top was one that showed problems
That said - I do have a habit of not doing full installs, so it may be self inflicted
I am asking Pat to consider a way to identify Slackware Current. I started another thread and then decided the idea is a candidate for a feature request.
Connecting to Slackwarearm-current (as of March 26)
$ top
'rxvt-unicode': unknown terminal type.
edit:
$ ls -l /var/log/packages/ncurses-6.0-arm-2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 58882 Mar 27 17:19 /var/log/packages/ncurses-6.0-arm-2
edit2:
scp rxvt-unicode{,-256color} from another machine, x86_64 !, mv to /usr/share/terminfo/r/
and top works, the tic is unnecessary ( cos I build from source normally! )
edit3:
also in my .Xresources...
!! Defeats the purpose somewhat urxvt is nice and everything else works
!! but scrolling text off to the left on long lines is an absolute fuckin no
!!URxvt*termName: xterm
! Fixed, adding an adding an entry to /etc/termcap fixes this
!! use whatever urxvt defaults to
!URxvt*termName: rxvt-unicode-256color
!URxvt*termName: rxvt-unicode
edit4:
Yes, lots of bits commented out, I've been using that file for few years ( I swear less now! )
sorry...
edit 5: ( new user set up at each end of the connection )

xorg-server: bug report for 1.19.6. Just a cosmetic issue but the upstream patch included in the bug report does fix the issue for me.
sddm: If a user is added to /etc/passwd please make 100% sure that the home directory does exist. Maybe this could be fixed by the sddm package itself with simply add the /var/lib/sddm directory but in my opinion the home directory should be added by the system when adding a new user. In this case sddm may fail to start if the home directory does not exist.

I am not sure this bug is the same one on my system. Xorg isn't freezing my system but it does have odd output showing that x is trying to add input devices and then ignoring them. I attached my Xorg.0.log.

Thx for second that, XOrg isn't freezing here too... i get the same output to Xorg.log. As said, just a cosmetic issue since X will start anyway...
Just want to report that installpkg can't work with multibyte chars (.utf8) in path.
example:
Code:
root@sevar:~# installpkg /home/sbolokanov/Свалѣно/ffmpeg-3.4.2-x86_64-1alien.txz
rev: stdin: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
Cannot install /home/sbolokanov/Свалѣно/ffmpeg-3.4.2-x86_64-1alien.txz: external compression utility missing
It is caused by this part:
Code:
# A stronger formula is needed to regularize output that will be parsed.
unset LANG LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE LC_MONETARY \
LC_MESSAGES LC_PAPER LC_NAME LC_ADDRESS LC_TELEPHONE LC_MEASUREMENT \
LC_IDENTIFICATION LC_ALL
LANG=C
export LANG
It would be nice if it can work with unicode out of the box.

Yes. In Slint instead we have:
Code:
# A stronger formula is needed to regularize output that will be parsed.
unset LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC LC_TIME LC_COLLATE LC_MONETARY \
LC_MESSAGES LC_PAPER LC_NAME LC_ADDRESS LC_TELEPHONE LC_MEASUREMENT \
LC_IDENTIFICATION LC_ALL
#unset LANG No: keeping LANG set is needed for i18n - Didier Spaier
#LANG=C
#export LANG
With no known issue so far.
