 Posted: Sun Aug 28, 2005 6:11 pm Post subject: Input a long line in bash cannot auto wrap |
 |
|
enna,if i input a long line in bash,it shows in one line ,and put "<" ">" beside them.
such as:
bash-3.00.16 #: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" USE="dvb tga dga xvmc fbcon divx4linux -gif -gtk -oss aac mx dvd" emerge mplayer "
the column is 80 and it shows like this:
bash-3.00.16 #: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" USE="dvb tga dga xvmc fbcon >
I had to use Right key to go to see.
so i want to know how to make bash auto wrap the long input line to a newline if need.
how to set this?

| Quote: | horizontal-scroll-mode (Off)
When set to On, makes readline use a single line for display, scrolling the input horizontally on a single screen line when it becomes longer than the screen width rather than wrapping to a new line. |
Took this from the manpage of bash. maybe this is what you're looking for?

hmm,i comment the export TERM=xterm in my .bashrc. it seems useless.
Well,what suprised me was ,the TERM under console was xterm,
and when I use startx to start xorg with fvwm,
the TERM shows in aterm was kterm
I even donnot know how comes the kterm,
with kterm,I had to live without colors,only left black and white.
so i set export TERM=xterm in my .bashrc.
text scroll in one line in both this two situation.
but the problem seems too puzzle ,i have no idea to solove it.

kterm is not in /etc/DIR_COLORS or dircolors, so no colors.
aterm is based on rxvt, so TERM should be rxvt?
I do no think the problem is with bash, but with TERM.
What happens when TERM is set to xterm and you start an xterm?
What about
| Code: | | find /etc/terminfo -name "kterm" |

| Code: | | find /etc/terminfo -name "kterm" |
shows nothing.
enna,while TERM sets to "xterm",
all the terminal such as xterm,aterm,mrxvt have the same circs:
text scroll in one line.
if set TERM to "rxvt" ,the same as above..

You have kterm installed? Does he wrap lines?
Can you find where TERM is being set to kterm? Perhaps somewhere in /etc.
Was ncurses emerged as minimal? |

hmm,I havenot install kterm yet.
eix kterm
| Code: | * x11-terms/kterm
Available versions: 6.2.0-r2 6.2.0-r3
Installed: no
Homepage: http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~hc3j-tkg/kterm/
Description: Japanese Kanji X Terminal |
I use
grep "kterm" /etc -R
only get this:
/etc/apache/lib/portage/output.py: legal_terms = ["xterm","Eterm","aterm","rxvt","screen","kterm","rxvt-unicode"]
| Code: | root:~# emerge ncurses -pv
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

I can come close to replicating the behavior by setting TERM=dumb.
With that the comand is all on one line, but the line scrolls off to the left, instead of to the right, as for you.
I do not understand why aterm would want to use kterm settings. Have you ever done anything with kanji?
Have you always have this behavior?
Have you tried re-emerging aterm? |

I have a similar problem on my other box. It's a fresh install and not only this behaviour, but the input prompt actually returns to the begining of the line when $COLS is reached. Then it just overwrites what you typed earlier. That's how it looks, it's actually still working on the end of the line.
This happens in vts too.   |

That explains TERM=kterm:
| Quote: | (aterm version 0.4.2 from 06 September 01
background image,XPM,menubar,line space,Kanji+XIM,Thai,transparency,fading,NeXT
scrollbar,XGetDefaults) |
aterm was emerged with USE=cjk.
Here may be the problem:
| Quote: | Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] sys-libs/ncurses-5.4-r6 -bootstrap -build* -debug -doc +gpm* -minimal -nocxx -unicode 0 kB |
It says ncurses was last emerged with build:
| Quote: | | - - build : !!internal use only!! DO NOT SET THIS FLAG YOURSELF!, used for creating build images and the first half of bootstrapping. |
and without unicode.
Suggest you enable unicode support and re-emerge ncurses. |

lynxnyl:
By do you mean $COLUMNS?
The behavior can be caused where columns for the device is less than $COLUMNS.
If that is the case
should sync them. |

Maybe it does, but it doesn't fix my problem. 
I used genkernel on that machine, maybe it has some bad options set - will see once I recompile it. |
