Hi all. First step into ratpoison, I'm running into some issues that I thought must be me not understanding the docs, but now it looks like the instance I'm using may not be working correctly.
Short version: I think my instance isn't giving the output we expect on the Program Bar. - OS: Gentoo x86_64, up to date; - ratpoison version 1.4.9, built today, package details below. Learning from "General Use": http://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/doc/General-Use.html ...if I bring up a fresh instance and type "C-t c", I get a full screen with a fresh shell. Typing "C-t c" again shows a new shell, and so on. Once there's some text in a shell, I can flip through them using "C-t [numeral]", starting with "0" and working up. So far so good. But, "C-t w" doesn't give any output. "C-t :" does give the ":" prompt where we expect it, but typing "windows" there behaves the same way "C-t w" does. Other commands I've tried to learn seem to work fine, including input I type, but output from the Program Bar doesn't appear. Well, almost: While learning to use ":vsplit" and ":hsplit" so that the upper right corner was no longer filled by a shell, I've noticed that I am getting some output there: a tiny vertical line shows up at the right edge, hangs there a few seconds like I'd expect the output to do, then goes away. OS is Gentoo, up to date. Version: % equery l ratpoison | cat x11-wm/ratpoison-1.4.9 It's Gentoo, so the build may have settings we care about. Summary of options as I've got them currently; "+" set to on, "-" off: % equery u ratpoison | cat +debug -emacs +history -sloppy +xft +xrandr The "debug" setting means what you expect. There's an example at: http://ix.io/A2v Happy to make more examples if that'd help. Give me details. Maybe relevant: all of this is being done on a VPN. Some details there: Server: * net-misc/tigervnc Latest version available: 1.8.0 Latest version installed: 1.8.0 Size of files: 7308 KiB Homepage: http://www.tigervnc.org Description: Remote desktop viewer display system License: GPL-2 Client runs on the same host that houses the server, and is accessed through ssh.
