Package: xterm
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11
Severity: normal
File: /usr/X11R6/bin/uxterm
No idea why uxterm dies half a second after started in about 2/3rds on
invocations on Linux 2.6.12 on Thinkpad r50e. However, on Linux
2.6.14-2-k7 it starts every time.
$ xterm -class UXTerm -title uxterm -u8: same problem.
Anyways, on Thinkpad one must do
uxterm ^P RET uxterm ^P RET uxterm ^P RET several times until one
finally gets one that doesn't die at birth.
Yes, LANG=zh_TW.utf8, LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.utf8, which pulls in luit.
strace shows:
< --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---
< wait4(-1, NULL, 0, NULL) = 6019
< rt_sigaction(SIGCHLD, {0x8074f00, [CHLD], SA_RESTART}, {0x8074f00,
[], SA_RESTART|SA_NOCLDSTOP}, 8) = 0
< kill(-6019, SIGHUP) = -1 ESRCH (No such process)
< access("/var/run/utmpx", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
$ nice uxterm and even nice -n 0 uxterm do help somewhat I found.
By the way, the first two of the below must not be used, even if they
instead don't cause the above crash on birth.
$ c=zh_TW.Utf8 ;LC_CTYPE=$c LANG=$c LC_ALL=$c xterm -u8

$ c=zh_TW.UTF8 ;LC_CTYPE=$c LANG=$c LC_ALL=$c xterm -u8

$ c=zh_TW.utf8 ;LC_CTYPE=$c LANG=$c LC_ALL=$c xterm -u8
#uses luit .... and indeed the only way to see unicode
Then "how dare" /usr/X11R6/bin/uxterm do
value=`echo ${value} |sed -e 's/[EMAIL PROTECTED]//'`.UTF-8
when isn't lowercase .utf-8 right? locale -a seems to says so.
Anyway, the
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
won't often be seen as the new window covers up the old.
