#13 Disable blinking text

George L. Yermulnik — Sun, 08 Dec 2019 13:42:20 -0000

Oh, my. This was not about mlterm. It's about this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1648170
Apologies for the noise — I recently switched to newer version of the distro I use and at first glance I thought it was mlterm that sort of misbehaved but eventually mlterm is fine =) Thanks for the help finding the culprit =)

#13 Disable blinking text

For example, doesn't --bl=red disable blinking ?

What happens if you execute as follows ?
$ echo -e "\x1b[5maaaa\x1b[m"
aaaa <= blinking
$ mlcc bl_color red
$ echo -e "\x1b[5maaaa\x1b[m"
aaaa <= Not blinking

Could you please give an example of value for bl_color — I tried differrent values but it didn't disable blinking =(

--bl option (or $ mlcc bl_color xxx) which sets alternate color to blinking characters disables blinking.

But it disabled blinking but didn't set alternate color. Following commit fixes it.

Is it possible to add an option to disable blinking text?

#12 After compiling mlterm on openSUSE Leap 42.2, it doesn't run

Araki Ken — Fri, 31 Mar 2017 15:20:17 -0000

Hi,

Does LD_LIBRARY_PATH environmental variable contain /usr/local/lib64?
What happens if you execute following commands.

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib64
$ /usr/local/bin/mlterm

Regards,

After compiling mlterm on openSUSE Leap 42.2, it doesn't run

I tried the following in openSUSE Leap 42.2 x86_64:
0. Make sure packages fribidi and fribidi-devel are installed
1. Download the .tar.gz for mlterm 3.8.0
The rest was done in bash running in konsole:
2. tar -zxvf mlterm-3.8.0.tar.gz
3. cd mlterm 3.8.0
4. ./configure --enable-fribidi
5. make
6. make install
At this point, mlterm has been added to the $PATH (in /usr/local/bin/)
7. mlterm
mlterm: error while loading shared libraries: libmlterm_coreotl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

However, libmlterm_coreotl.so is present in both ./vtemu/.libs and /usr/local/lib64 (with permissions -rwxr-xr-x, dates differing by 2 seconds, both today, and the same byte length).

What did I do wrong? Or is it impossible to compile mlterm for a 64bit Linux architecture?

The command "file /usr/local/lib64/libmlterm_coreotl.so" answers:
/usr/local/lib64/libmlterm_coreotl.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=6d722b6eb74f520c88b69da3c4f232726845480b, not stripped

Best regards,
Tony.

Please try to set TERM environmental variable to "xterm-256color"
TERM=xterm-256color

#10 wrong position show file with non-english name

Araki Ken — Fri, 07 Oct 2016 15:30:54 -0000

Try to add a following option to ~/.mlterm/main.
bidi_mode = left

mlterm shows characters from the right edge of a line
if the first character of a line is right-to-left character.
"bidi_mode=left" option forces mlterm to show characters from the left edge.
