It is belated because I hadn't secured sufficiently well my Devuan to be able to use it more freely until a few hours ago. Being it very likely a fact that my Gentoo has been broken into[1] again (mildly so, but yes: broken into, IMO), notwithstanding and regardless of my serious and stubborn effort to not be owned again[2]), I decided to take security even more seriously[3] with my main OS of the next months to come, Devuan. Because I want my Devuan to endure any hardship and to last for me, and that I be able to do good things with it :) . Alessandro pls. accept my apologies for being this late. In truth I got hundreds of emails (from all kinds of GNU/FOSS/... lists that I'm subscribed to) today with remarkably (so far) well working Getmail, Maildrop and Mutt, as well as Postfix --for sending only--, along with for local mail... Hundreds of emails because since my reply to Steve which I sent just some twenty minutes after I replied to you, I haven't gone online with my Devuan, since four days ago, until today. I really want to make my Devuan secure. > /me pops open a bottle of Spumante and toast!

Phew! It's trivial *after* you learned what the issue was, but it can drive you crazy for weeks before that! Especially when the issue concerns some of those arcane, scantly documented old-time Unix config files and settings very few people think of when something misbehaves under X. I am not sure this setting, that is, everything you put in your ~/.Xresources file, is read automatically at every X session, though I believe it probably is: it depends by your Desktop Manager. In my Devuan system I find it configures in /etc/X11/Xsession, where I can find: #!/bin/sh # # /etc/X11/Xsession # # global Xsession file -- used by display managers and xinit (startx) [...] USRRESOURCES=$HOME/.Xresources and then in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30x11-common_xresources: # $Id: 30x11-common_xresources 305 2005-07-03 18:51:43Z dnusinow $ # This file is sourced by Xsession(5), not executed. [...] if has_option allow-user-resources && [ -f "$USRRESOURCES" ]; then if type xrdb >/dev/null 2>&1; then xrdb -merge $USRRESOURCES else [...] > But that's what the developers are here for us users/hopeful testers...

In xterm ALT+d prints the "ä", in lxterminal it deletes the characters to the right. Analogue with ALT+BACKSPACE and "ÿ" / "delete left".

They may, but I'll do all I can to get a sans-dbus system. My Gentoo (which is --somewhat-- broken; or more likely broken into, and so Devuan will be my system for anything online from today) lived without dbus for some three or four years. A sans-dbus system is possible. I had all I needed.

[snip description of unexpected behavior of terminal hotkeys] > My issues above came to annoy me when I purged my system from dbus. :-) If the hotkey functionalities depend on dbus, oops! Miroslav, you don't say what terminal emulator you're using, or whether it's a virtual terminal (I sure hope the virtual terminal doesn't depend on dbus), but I'm pretty sure the behaviors you're describing are terminal emulator dependent. And I'll bet you dollars to donuts (oh wait, a donut's worth about a dollar now, I gotta quit using that saying) that you're *not* using xterm. I'd suggest you try several terminal emulators, and find one that suits your taste. If you haven't tried it, I'd recommend lxterminal from the LXDE project. Full featured, menu, tabbed, from a project that hasn't drunk the dbus flavored drink (as far as I know). Also, try xterm.

On the console (TERM=linux), ALT+d works fine - as well as in lxterminal (TERM=xterm). A tmux session within an xterm (TERM=screen) prints "ä" for ALT+d, the same from within lxterminal (TERM=screen) results in the expected deletion. Same for ssh sessions to another Devuan host: from within xterm (TERM=xterm) it prints the "ä", from within lxterminal (TERM=xterm) the following characters will be deleted. And finally, a screen session inside the secure shell again repeats the difference between xterm and lxterminal. hth / libre Grüße, Florian -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJZJcriAAoJEO5FSXn+RB/WleAP/0apeCjwB6GWcNONoxcwMjks junXGwG+pPOSx8lZ3tzhK00wX2bdoPnjQF2aHgkgSpzSiKg7qJMmg6zyneLr5+RD /5XNhI1VLXvfuxAewE9E+J9kCo53ZKWimHSRKNYl+ORYv9o5OcwLiJ+KusFYPVYc nbqn1xYblmLbomDtZQ6gQH/HGY55K7NLYs43vgfuFBApROqMKBKlTzlVpLND+ycg ykSSl1WIW7FawrTCeQa4YNjDBReV9jvzPVNtoMnicQJvDvAWoJF6+WO1ViaGEEBC TUOxctiTx+cLMm0day7GcbOSh5ROWtKDThhh1UiqaXpW4jLIAlPrb4zDCXXnA8DB v8by1z2T+EUN+4dBVJYoyNyXThIjUHyxfUdINen/7q6CV3+HlAfhfDrpYD3wuSok RwGgDFyAhFWzOgLKwaFyoWKgwKP/Dgg2kuuHuXPd6Kf6/0uz4TqYEspQ4xKojwri NEOV7bBntS+9Td4abSA1bWa1j14CKSYlzXYblJTV0nIIWjjepjLw1SN81HenLPRB i/08Np8BInFhWlN7vdAYvVUWIqlc0PbSU1X00I1YmN9Es0kjXew/SgQBr6E3Usk2 mufkdc/vxNPXBggV7Jty6cffB8NWaKXNsktIaTQ2SxyQ8p9Xb6QbxPBpBx57L6Mw afVKL9DY2ujLHdRp8AUM =gHNa -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
