Description Zoltan Balaton 2013-02-08 22:24:53 CET

I've noticed that urxvt is not tried by xvt but there may be some others. You could do a search at least for packages containing "term" or "vt". There are a few, at least there also seems to be mrxtv missing and probably a few others. This makes some functions in other packages fail to work when there is a terminal emulator installed but none that is supported by xvt. (Noticed while debugging #8963)

I don't understand how this package can affect that

Comment 2 Zoltan Balaton 2013-02-09 12:17:50 CET

$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/xvt
desktop-common-data-2-10.mga2

When another package needs an X terminal emulator it can use xvt command to start one but if none of the tried ones are available then it fails. For example when I only have rxvt-unicode installed and not xterm, aterm, etc. Does it answer your question or was it something else you wanted to ask?

oki, thanks for the explanation.

(same as bug 4619 in fact)

I'm on it.

This is more a feature request (or extend existing functonality) then a bug, so I will add more entries in the xvt script just for the coming Mageia 3.

Hello, excuse me. I'm retired and unassigning the bugs.

Maintainer is absent for a long time, and it is not sure when he'll return.

However, this bug is from far before Mageia 4 release, so choosing to close it as OLD

Please do reopen if it is still valid in fully updated Mageia 4 or 5 beta 3 or later
