If only ibus was running so that I could kill it. The program "ibus" is nowhere to be found.
Thanks for your quick thought, Michael. I'm using your extended tabbedex version, too. Highly recommended: https://github.com/michaeltraxler/urxvt-perls/blob/master/tabbedex It's really useful (to the point that it's the practical everyday reason why I use urxvt), and I doubt that your addition to tabbedex had anything to do with the UTF-8 freezing issue. Really curious what causes this problem, though... - > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > Sent: Sat, 2 May 2015 18:59:34 +0200 (CEST) > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: urxvt startup freeze with UTF-8 fonts > > Hello, > > when I hear blocked input and tabbedex then it could be the > "ibus problem". > Emanuele Giaquinta pointed me to this in January after I suffered from > rare but annoying lockups for a year. > Type > $ ibus exit > and if the problem doesn't occur anymore then this is the problem. > A kind of workaround is to start ibus with > IBUS_ENABLE_SYNC_MODE=1 > but if you don't need it (as I don't need it) just don't start it in the > beginning. > > Michael > > --------------------------------------- > > > On Samstag 2015-05-02 18:22, kario tay wrote: > > >Date: Sat, 2 May 2015 18:22:21 > >From: kario tay <[email protected]> > >To: [email protected] > >Subject: urxvt startup freeze with UTF-8 fonts >> >> Hi - >> >> Has anyone else noticed that urxvt starts up in >> frozen state -- meaning, a command prompt with >> solid cursor that does not accept input? >> >> This only happens if you change your system >> language setting to a UTF-8 font >> (for example, Chinese) and are also >> running the 'tabbedex' extension. >> If tabbedex is disabled, or a non-UTF8 >> font is chosen, the problem does not appear. >> >> Any ideas? >> >> Thanks in advance. >> >> ____________________________________________________________ >> Can't remember your password?
