There is one condition where urxvt works with UTF-8 language and the tabbedex extension.
If you open a different terminal emulator (for example, xterm), then start urxvt from within that terminal, urxvt works; you can enter input and open new tabs. If you close the current tab, however, all other tabs are frozen and do not accept input. And if you go back to the other terminal (xterm), all other instances of urxvt are also frozen. Steps taken [see urxvt (7) man page]: 0. Running commands 'locale' and 'locale -a'. --- Everything reports correctly; to no effect. 1. Setting "LC_TYPE" via escape sequence printf '\33]701;%s\007' <LC_TYPE_HERE> --- No complaints from the system, but there is no effect on program function. Still frozen. Replace <LC_TYPE_HERE> with your language code, the man page uses 'ja_JP.SJIS' and 'de_DE.UTF-8' as examples. 2. Setting "URxvt.imlocale: <LC_TYPE_HERE>" in the .Xresources or .Xdefaults file. --- No complaints from urxvt. Program still starts frozen and does not accept input. --- So urxvt does work when started from a different terminal emulator. You can open tabs, but you close one, the others are frozen. What possible causes does this bring to mind? Something is happening. It _almost_ works. > -----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?
