    Damn, I knew it moved to GitHub, I went here because I looked up my old ticket about "select all" and this is where it was. Sorry. Want me to re-create in Github? And/or create a feature request for writing scroll-back to disk? As always, thanks for the quick reply and awesome tool.

  • Tony Houghton Tony Houghton posted a comment on ticket #135

    The primary site for ROXTerm is now realh/roxterm on github. I suppose I should change the SF site to redirect people, but I just never got around to it. Anyway, the change in behaviour is caused by VTE. https://gitlab.gnome.org/search?search=vte_terminal_select_all&nav_source=navbar&project_id=1893&group_id=8&scope=issues. It's supposed to be a temporary hack to prevent a crash in gnome-terminal, but they've failed to fix the issue in a reasonable time. There is a function to write the entire buffer...

    There are tags for the versioned releases. Usual practice is to clone the whole repository then check out the revision you want: git clone https://github.com/realh/roxterm.git cd roxterm git fetch --tags git checkout 3.6.2 But have you tried luit and found it definitely doesn't suit your needs? That seems to be standard practice for using legacy encodings in a UTF terminal, and you should get better reliability and features by using that with an up-to-date terminal.

  • Jay F. Shachter Jay F. Shachter posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    Where can one find the source to roxterm 3.6.2? I went to https://github.com/realh/roxterm, as you suggested, and spent about an hour looking for the source to roxterm 3.6.2, and if it can be found at that website, I failed to find it. As always, thank you in advance for your reply.

  • Tony Houghton Tony Houghton posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    There are newer versions of roxterm at its new home on github. I like to think the UX generally improves over time, and there are definitely some good reasons to use a version post 3.5.0, when I found a way to fix the shrinking window bug. That was caused by a change in GTK and also affected other terminals. I also replaced the build system with CMake, so that should cause you less bother with incompatibilities in BSD etc. The bad news is that I didn't bother supporting the translation infrastructure...

  • Jay F. Shachter Jay F. Shachter posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    I reverted to roxterm-3.3.2, since I had the source code to it, and no one told me of a more recent version of roxterm that supports multiple encodings. If there is a more recent version of roxterm that supports multiple encodings, I would welcome being told where I can find it. First I globally changed "colour" to "color", and "Colour" to "colour", everywhere; and then I also had to change "Co_lour" to "Co_lor" and "C_olour" to "C_olor" in src/roxterm-config.glade and in src/roxterm-config.ui and...

  • Tony Houghton Tony Houghton posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    Supporting multiple encodings was deprecated in vte and has probably been removed by now. So having a version of roxterm that can still be compiled on a modern OS is a good idea. You can use luit to get your legacy programs to work in a UTF-8 terminal. I think having such a tool concentrating on this task is an improvement over relying on every terminal supporting as many encodings as possible.

  • Jay F. Shachter Jay F. Shachter posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    Esteemed Colleagues: For the past several weeks, in order to get consistency in the --geometry option (see the recent discussion topic, "How do I get consistency on the --geometry option?"), I have been using the most recent version of roxterm on all of my operating systems. Today I discovered something horrifying. There is no longer support for multiple encodings. It is gone from the "Preferences" menu, it cannot be found in the configuration manager, and underneath /usr/local/src/roxterm-master...

    Sorry I didn't realise it was a joke. You should have known that most programmers are autistic! Usually my sense of humour is quite good, but I tend more to dark humour (can get quite sick actually). Interesting about the pronunciation of 'ei'. I started thinking about names ending in -stein. Both syllables of Einstein always rhyme with "pine", even in America, don't they? What about Brian Epstein (the Beatles' manager). I've only ever heard that pronounced the Germanic way. But I know -stein names...

    "Colour" is the correct spelling in the UK. I live with other programs and libraries using "color", but I didn't want to use foreign spelling in my own code. You could create an en_US translation for it, but all the other translators faded away, so I stopped payng much attention to the translation infrastructure, which never played well with SCM. The config path names shouldn't be translated though, these are effectively hidden files. Translating them would make things harder if you wanted to use...

  • Jay F. Shachter Jay F. Shachter posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    Thank you. I see that ./mscript.py is no longer the build method. Some things have not changed, like I still had to correct all the misspellings of the word "color". This was more than just a global change with a text editor; I still had to change 8 to 7 in roxterm_opt_signal_handler() in lines 3579 and 3581 of src/roxterm.c (it is ungracious to complain about free software that someone else wrote and made available to the public, and I am not complaining, I am very grateful for your work, but if...

  • Tony Houghton Tony Houghton posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    Roxterm parses the geometry itself, so it should always interpret it as characters. It's possible you're using a very old version which used a, now deprecated, parsing function built into GTK. This sourceforge project is no longer active, you should use https://github.com/realh/roxterm instead. Hopefully you'll get a more consistent experience with a newer version, unless you're stuck with a very old version of GTK/GNOME on Solaris or something.

  • Jay F. Shachter Jay F. Shachter posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    Esteemed Colleagues: I have a multiboot computer on which several operating systems are installed, on which my home directory and certain other directories are shared via ZFS (so chosen because it is, or can be made to be, supported on Linux, the BSD systems, and Solaris). On some of these systems, the --geometry option to roxterm is interpreted in pixels, whereas on others, it is interpreted in characters. Because my .xinitrc startup file is shared, this creates inconsistency. Is there a roxterm...

  • Tony Houghton Tony Houghton posted a comment on discussion Help

    Hi. I've moved roxterm to github, so if you downloaded it from SF, please check github instead, for a more up-to-date version. What makes roxterm reload when you log in again? GNOME hasn't supported session restoring in years, but there is still some support for it in roxterm, and it should be able to restore the colour scheme. You can change roxterm's default colour scheme by opening its configuration manager and selecting the one you want to be the default.

  • Dan Essin Dan Essin posted a comment on discussion Help

    I know that I can use a commandline option to start roxterm with the Nocturne color scheme. But, when logging in reopens the programs that were running at logout, roxterm shows up again with the default color scheme. Isn't there some way for it to remember both the last profile AND the last color scheme? Thanks

  • Tony Houghton Tony Houghton posted a comment on discussion Help

    I moved the project from SourceForge to github. The version you're trying to build is very old, and wouldn't work properly with a modern version of GTK3 even if you could build it. Please can you try the latest version from github instead. There is also a PPA for Ubuntu etc and an AUR package for Arch etc. If you have another Debian-compatible distro the PPA binary package may work, and if not, the deb source package is still a good way to install it.

  • Anonymous posted a comment on ticket #72

    (Seems to me that feature requests are not yet migrated to github?) So, both Tilix (formerly Terminix) and xfce4-terminal have implemented background image support using some GTK+ magic. Moreover, vte-0.52 introduces a new API vte_terminal_set_clear_background() which is intended to somehow make it easier. Don't ask about the details, I'm not familiar with them, sorry. -egmont

  • Tony Houghton Tony Houghton posted a comment on ticket #129

    Do you have a github account? I've migrated roxterm development to there and this bug is #130. Roxterm still uses g_spawn_async to launch the child process, so switching to vte_pty_spawn_async or vte_terminal_spawn_async may fix this, but those two functions are marked only available since vte 0.48, which is quite new; newer than when you opened this bug I think. So how did vte used to modify the env before then? In the child setup function perhaps? And why isn't it working in roxterm?

  • Tony Houghton Tony Houghton posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    It seems there's still quite a bit of demand for roxterm, and some people want to help, but they'd rather use github. Could anyone who's interested please follow https://github.com/realh/roxterm. Issue #1 can serve as a sort of introduction, the main show-stopping bug corresponding to SF's #125 is #126.

  • Gerhard Gonter Gerhard Gonter posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    Since Gnome terminal removed tab renaming, it became more or less useless for me and I had to switch to RoxTerm which works nicely for my until this day. When RoxTerm was removed from Ubuntu 16.10 (and later), this became more or less a show stopper for upgrading. Right now, packages from Ubuntu 16.04 still work on 17.04, but the end of RoxTerm is worrying. What is out there to replace RoxTerm? Thanks for your good work and best wishes, GG

    Have you tried asking anywhere else? This forum is for roxterm, which is obsolete and doesn't have much to do with sound, so you probably won't get any useful answers here. Try finding a forum specific to your distro which has groups for beginners and/or sound-related issues.

  • Allan Allan posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    Hello all, This is my first post, so please be kind. I'm on a live DVD and I'm trying to get sound going. Looks like sound is happening, but I have an icon on my toolbar that has a slash through a speaker. I'm betting if I can turn that icon into a speaker, I'll have sound. The only problem is I'm pretty much a noob on just about anything you throw at me that's Linux. So keep that in mind too. :-) Where I've seen there's sound happening is at youtube and the GNOME MPlayer.

    I finally figured this out! It's not Roxterm's fault after all. I had set GTK_IM_MODULE=xim. This causes this behavior in a couple of GTK3 applications. GTK_IM_MODULE=none solves this.
