ncurses?
Buster, Supermicro 5036T (aka sbox), Radeon HD 6450/7450/8450 according to lspci, RME Hammerfall sound card I asked for help with this a few days ago and attached a screenshot to show what my problem is. There've been no replies -- I guess graphics are caught by a spam filter somewhere. The problem is that, on sbox, alsamixer and aptitude are badly displayed -- alsamixer so bad that it's not usable. The vertical lines in alsamixer are broken into pieces and the pieces are offset a quarter of an inch or so. The horizontals aren't broken, but their positions are offset like the vertical pieces. Some of them. I can't use my sound card without alsamixer. Aptitude's problems are just a nuisance that I expect to see fixed RSN. I hope that's enough to explain what's going on. If not, please say so, and I'll put the screenshot on my website. lynx is fine. And there are no difficulties with GUI stuff. When I run one of these programs and 'ps aux' I see lynx or alsamixer or aptitude, but no ncurses. I'm not sure what, if anything, that means. But I expected to see ncurses. The problem on sbox is fairly new. I don't know which update broke it because I don't need the sound card very often. It worked since the early alsa days and I didn't change anything, I promise. Both problem programs are fine on the Dell laptop (also running Buster) in the next room. When I SSH to the laptop and run alsamixer over there, it's better on my screen, but not right. When I run alsamixer on sbox, SSH to the laptop, and SSH back to sbox, it's unintelligible again on the sbox screen. I can't find anything remotely like this on the web. At first I guessed something was wrong in Linux' Radeon driver. But I'm not so sure anymore because lynx has no problems. But lynx doesn't try to make pictures, and text is fine everywhere... At a loss. Ideas? -- Glenn English
ncurses
Hello I'm trying to compile a programm (iForth) that needs ncurses. apt-get install ncurses Package ncurses has no available version, but exists in the database. This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list E: Package ncurses has no installation candidate So what do I do? And: Could installing ncurses break anything in my potato system? Robert Epprecht

Re: ncurses?
Try running script if the system is already installed then run each of the problem commands then type exit. You'll get a file called typescript which is ansi text that probably will get through the spam filters if you include it in the body of your message and do not attach it. If the ansi can be cleaned out of typescript the reading will be cleaner and the file a little shorter.

ghe composed on 2019-07-02 17:45 (UTC-0600): https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2019/07/msg00110.html It's been eons since I heard of any kind of trouble with ncurses. :-) sbox I'm not familiar with. :-( I have a Dell gfxcard on a Buster test box that may be the same as yours except for the brand. Perhaps you'd see improvement by swapping the radeon DDX for the default DDX (modesetting) as I use here. I don't usually try to make sound work, or even connect speakers, on my test boxes, but alsamixer does open seemingly ready to take orders: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/Deb/alsamixer10m.png Simplest way for you to switch DDX should be to purge xserver-xorg-video-radeon. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

A C program like lynx may be linked against this library, and you would (usually) see that with ldd: wooledg:~$ ldd /usr/bin/lynx | grep ncurses libncursesw.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncursesw.so.6 (0x7f85b0929000) A library isn't a separate process, and you won't see it listed in the output of ps or top.

Actually stripping the "ansi" out of the "typescript" file makes it hard to see what's going on (I don't see OP's screenshot). Whether and how ncurses does line-drawing depends on the TERM variable and the locale variables -- and how well it works depends on the actual terminal (program...). Lynx doesn't do much with line-drawing, except in menus (such as in the Options screen). If you have a "typescript", sending that as an attachment for discussion on the bug-ncurses mailing list will get more response than to debian-user.
ncurses problem
Hi there,
I compiled following test program:
==
#include
#include
int main()
{
initscr();
int key;
while ((key = getch()) != 27) {
if (key == KEY_RESIZE) {
clear();
mvprintw(0, 0, "COLS = %d, LINES = %d", COLS, LINES);
for (int i = 0; i < COLS; i++)
mvaddch(1, i, '*');
refresh();
}
}
endwin();
return 0;
}
==
It's supposed to show current window dimension when resizing terminal
window. Unfortunately, dimensions are not updated and it shows initial
geometry. Interesting thing is that it works perfectly after "ssh
localhost" or "su -". I tested on both, sid and stretch. exactly the
same result.
Any ideas??
PS. I use xfce4 and lxdm.

hey list, i'm trying to write interface between ncurses and sockets for server side split screen. my problem is that the mud has only socket descriptor to send and receive all the data from each of the players, but ncurses require two FILE descriptors to work properly. i tried various [dirty] hacks to make it work, short of using temporary file for the output, and then sending the contents of the file to the players. i'm sure that there is someone else who hit the same problem at some point, and that there some ellegant solution for this. so i would greatly appreciate any help/example that you may have. :) Dingo. ).|.( '.'___'.'

ncurses link
In /usr/include there is a softlink called ncurses pointing to . I want to make a backup of the whole machine, so I connected to it via ftp as root, cd'ed to / and said: get ..tar But now tar gets stuck with that softlink pointing to itself: Its still transfering, but a tar -tf just shows more and more ncurses adding to /isr/include/ncurses. Why does tar not just pack that softlink, but tries to copy the file its pointing to? Why is that ncurses pointing to . anyway? Stef

I'll modify my previous question which had to do with "make menuconfig"
not working. I've downgraded all my ncurses to 1.9.9e1-1. All libc5 is

works. The compile crashes as follows:

I don't understand why this is the case since stdlib (and all the other

have this error. I reinstalled libc5-dev just to be sure but that didn't
help. Why would this happen? Could a development package I haven't thought

ncurses problems
Has anyone else out there had trouble with ncurses? I've now run across at least four separate failures, all related to using ncurses instead of termcap: 1) When building NEURON (big hairy biophysical simulation system), the build fails because some symbols are the same in NEURON and ncurses. Despite the fact that they have different types (in C++), the linker links to the wrong symbols, causing a segmentation fault. Switching to termcap makes the problem disappear. 2) In GENESIS 2.0 (another biophysical sim), the build goes ok, but the program bombs when you try to execute regular shell commands from the command line. Again, switching to termcap fixes things. 3) diald-top, a monitoring program for diald, bombs with a segmentation fault, and it looks suspiciously like it might be down in ncurses code when this happens. I haven't yet tried switching to termcap to see if that helps. 4) If you do a custom build of XFree86 (for the beta version), xterm bombs if you use ncurses instead of termcap. I have heard of a couple of other Debian users having similar ncurses problems, but I've never heard of anyone having trouble with ncurses in other distributions.

ncurses status???
Hi again, folks, and Happy New Year to all. I am now recompiling my kernel. I tried to use make menuconfig, but this failed with a message to the effect that ncurses was missing. I tried an apt-get for ncurses, but the message tells me that it is no longer available -- presumably obsolete now, or something to that effect. We were able to configure the kernel with xconfig. But what's with ncurses? I am missing some history, or not understanding how I am supposed to load ncurses now. Thanks in advance for any enlightenment that you can give.

So, just wild-ass guessing here, you might have put the necessaray "shopt -s checkwinsize" and "export LINES COLUMNS" into ~/.profile which is only read when you perform a shell login, and NOT when you perform an lxdm login. That's why something might "work" when you first do "ssh localhost" to get a shell login environment.

Actually it is exactly the other way around. If LINES and COLUMNS are set in the environment, then the ncurses library will _not_ update the screen size upon receiving SIGWINCH, and that causes the behavior Grzesiek observed. This is documented in ncurses(3). Cheers, Sven

Sure thing. > I actually asked about curses because when I did a make menuconfig, it told > me that > curses.h was not found, then it brought me back to the prompt. IIRC, make menuconfig compiles the curses interface before you get the curses menu for choosing your kernel options. Nothing but source code in the kernel source, no binaries. Hence needing the header files (curses.h) for make menuconfig. billy > > -Original Message- > > From: Billy Sneed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 10:03 AM > > To: Ronneil Camara > > Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org > > Subject: Re: ncurses HeLP > > > > > > libncurses5-dev on an unstable box. > > > > billy > > > > Ronneil Camara wrote: > > > Hi guys, > > > > > > How are you doing? > > > > > > Anyways, what package should I install so that I will have > > curses.h file? > > > > > > Thanks. > > > > > > Neil > > > > > > > > > -- > > > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It'll work but you might find it easier to: make menuconfig make-kpkg kernel-image Install the package kernel-package do to that. It creates a .deb file containing the kernel and modules etc. dpkg -i to install. It'll do the lilo stuff for you too, and you'll never forget any of the steps either.. Alan.
Ncurses on PCs
Hi, I am taking C++ and Data Structures courses at San Francisco State and most of my programs use ncurses. I understand that ncurses is a package of functions in the UNIX library for use in C and C++ programs. Is there any way I can download these functions and use them from my home computer ( I want ncurses to be run on PCs). Can I install Linux on my home computer and then compile and run C programs using ncurses. And how can I install Linux and Windows on the same machine (how difficult is it)? Thank you for your time.Cuong Tran

ncurses and python

I cannot find anything like it in unstable main contrib non-free. So there seems not to be a new curses for debian. Is that true ?

Greetings, To spice up a uni assignment I have the option to use the ncurses library.

At first glance both Slang and ncurses seems to me comparable: They both intend to help the programmer accomodate the terminal. 1) Is it correct ? 2) can someone give a short comparison of these 2 libraries ? Thank you.
c++ and ncurses
Hi,
I don't know if this is simply a problem with my setup, but I'm having
problem with the following test program (culled from a larger program).
The program worked fine under Red Hat 5.0:
#include
#include
int main()
{
chtype oldchar;
initscr();
oldchar = inch();
return(0);
}
The code compiles and links fine with the c++ compiler (I've tried both
the the old c++ compiler, and egcs. When the program is run however, I am
getting a segmentation fault. The fault is occurring on the oldchar =
inch(); line. If I remove the oldchar =, and just call the inch function,
the program doesn't crash. Also, if I compile this with the c compiler
instead, I don't have any problems (except that I am using c++ features in
the real program ;-) ). It looks to me like the return value of inch is
overwriting something it shouldn't.
Any ideas would be appreciated. If there is a more appropriate list for
this, let me know

ncurses segmentation fault
Package: ncurses3.4
Version: 1.9.9g-8.8
The following program, compiled with egcs 1.0.3, causes a segmentation
fault at the mvwinch statement:
#include
int main ()
{
WINDOW *win;
initscr();
refresh();
win = newwin(0, 0, 10, 10);
getch();
chtype r = mvwinch(win, 1, 1);
getch();
endwin();
return 0;
}
I'm using Debian 2.0.
Any ideas?

"upgrading" ncurses packages
I have finally flipped a breaker, and spent the day on up "upgrade" to glibc/libc6. This was forced by my own confusion, as well as that, apparently, of my machine, as to which libraries were to be linked into xtide2.0. After the "upgrade" the package compiled ok. Most of the package updates went ok, following the suggestions in the mini-HOWTO of Mr. Ellis, on the list. The only serious problem I encountered was with ncurses. I wasn't certain whether I had to update ncurses-base, but I tried, and both that package and ncurses-term refused to upgrade. Finally, I had to unpack the control files and have a look at the preinstall script: moving two directories out of the way seemed to solve the problem: /usr/lib/tabset and /usr/lib/terminfo. Another think irritated me: I haven't rebooted in a day or two, and have a healthy desktop built up, when the scripts of the glib6 package told me to reboot. Couldn't a warning or at least more information have been given in advance. I don't know how many times I have watched a package unpack, completly, onto the system, and then tell me that due to some conflict, it was unable to configure. I guess some of these can't be easily forseen, but it still leaves the files all over the system. In fact, in some cases of libraries, if I'm not wrong, they were still used by the system even though not "configured". Alan Davis -- "I consider that the golden rule requires Alan E.

This is true, and I've been considering reporting it as a bug. The rxvt terminfo entry in the old ncurses-base package was very similar to xterm-color's entry. It added mouse support and some stuff necessary to handle the Home/End keys. The new ncurses-base package does not have an xterm-color entry and its rxvt entry is very different from its xterm entry (which to me is somewhat strange, since rxvt is usually described as a smaller replacement for xterm). Versions of rxvt prior to 2.20-5 set the TERM environment variable to xterm-color. (Note that this would cause problems with the new ncurses-base package, which does not have an xterm-color terminfo entry.) Since Debian has an rxvt terminfo entry, this was reported as a bug. After some discussion, I agreed with the author of the report and modified rxvt in version 2.20-5 to set TERM=rxvt on color displays and TERM=xterm on monochrome displays (since there was no monochrome rxvt terminfo entry available). The rxvt terminfo entry should be fixed. I suggest that it should follow the rxvt entry in the old ncurses-base package and be made equivalent to xterm with additional mouse and Home/End support. While we're fixing the terminfo entries, I would also like to suggest that a rxvt-mono entry be created for monochrome displays. It should be equivalent to the new rxvt entry with the color support disabled. I would then modify rxvt to set TERM=rxvt-mono, instead of TERM=xterm which it does now, when running on monochrome displays.

lynx, ncurses, gpm
Has anyone else managed to get ncurses' gpm support to work with lynx? That is, proper mouse support for lynx navigation, not just gpm copy-and-paste. I know that the default libncurses5 package doesn't come with gpm support, but even after recompiling it --with-gpm, lynx won't behave as I'd expect (mouse support in an xterm is fine, though). There are two problems: 1) the handling of SIGTSTP. This has been explained at http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month041999/msg00732.html , and causes lynx to exit after ^Z and fg. I followed the advice given in that link, and changed 2 lines in the gpm source to set the SA_RESTART flag in gpm's sig handler, and this problem goes away. 2) mouse events aren't handled until the next time a key is pressed. I've had a look with gdb, and I can't really understand all the function calls going on, but the problem seems to be within ncurses' handling of wgetch() . I haven't a clue how to go about fixing the second, so I thought I'd ask here in case anyone else has encountered, or even fixed, the problem, and failing that, I'll try upstream.

And how can I install Linux and Windows on the >same machine? ncurses is actually a library of functions for providing limited graphical support (not limited actually...) to a POSIX environment and is a free alternative to the UNIX curses library. The Single UNIX specification is a good reading for curses, and you can use it with ncurses. Most Linux distros come with ncurses installed, and the development headers in a separate package (in debian, that would equate to libncurses5- dev) to be installed. It is usually installed so one can invoke some ncurses-dependent programs (such as Debian's dselect and the make menuconfig routine when you reconfigure a kernel prior to compiling it). Yes, you can compile your own programs and link ncurses-specific routines to the appropriate header file, as long as you have libncurses-dev installed. Yes, you can install Linux and the other OS on the same machine. There's lots of documentations, FAQ and HOWTO's for this task out there in the 'net and inside your /usr/doc files, or your Linux distro's installer CD-ROM. Paolo Falcone __ www.edsamail.com

Quoting Mike Stone ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > Looks like an ncurses bug. Works fine with the libncurses4-dev > package from slink. You're right, I compiled it with libncurses4 and my program starts, but unfortunately all the colors have gone. :-( Instead of colors, everything is bold now. I updated libc6 to 2.0.7u-2 and installed libcurses4 4.2-2. Did I miss something? (Actually I don't want to upgrade my system to slink in order to avoid that ncurses bug and make I program run that runs fine under Debian 1.3.1.) Ingo
BS in rxvt+ncurses
Hi, I've already asked this, and I'm sure someone must be having the same problem... No matter how I set the backspace in X11, it won't work under rxvt + some ncurses program, for example, pine. At some point the entry in /etc/terminfo/r/rxvt was changed, and the backspace stopped working. The change isn't documented in the Debian changelog, it just says "Munged rxvt entry a bit more", and also makes reference to an update to the terminfo database... xterm does work, and infocmp says: comparing rxvt to xterm. comparing booleans. comparing numbers. colors: -1:8. pairs: -1:64. comparing strings. hpa: NULL, '\E[%i%p1%dG'. kend: '\E[4~', '\E[F'. khome: '\E[1~', '\E[H'. kmous: NULL, '\E[M'. vpa: NULL, '\E[%i%p1%dd'. I don't see anything relevant here. There are far more differences between the entry that worked and the one that doesn't. I have: ii ncurses-base1.9.9g-6 ii rxvt2.20-8 The only thing I see that may be relevant is that xterm does use libncurses and rxvt doesn't. I don't think rxvt is broken... it worked before... the problem is, I don't know before what. Also, I don't want to blindy move the old entry over the new one, because I see there are other differences between them and some of them are indeed good.

ncurses driving me nuts
Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for help with ncurses programming (pls redirect me if this doesn't belong here), but the behaviour of ncurses is driving me up the wall here... For some silly reason, wmove() and mvwaddstr() doesn't seem to be functioning properly. The first one or two wmove() -- waddstr() sequences seem to work fine, but after that, the x-coordinate seem to get completely ignored and set to zero for all subsequent calls to wmove() or mvwaddstr(). What am I doing wrong??? I'm trying to print a list of strings and want each to appear at a particular x-coordinate within a subwindow. What's the right way to do this??? Currently, it prints the first one or two lines at the right location, but subsequent calls to wmove() or mvwaddstr() seems to totally ignore the x-coordinate and simply place the cursor at the start of the line.

Problems installing ncurses-base
Any hints what the following error message mean? I am trying to install ncurses-base. dpkg: error processing ncurses-base_1.9.9g-8.10.deb (--install): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: ncurses-base_1.9.9g-8.10.deb How can I correct the problem or even understand the problem. /--/ Daniel J.

ncurses prob with slink
I recently reinstalled Debian 2.0 (long story) and wanted to put slink back on as well. Now, in November, I had cleaned my system out and did a full reinstall of Debian 2.0, re-dselected slink ... and watched as miles and miles of ncurses errors flooded my screen. I eventually realized that I was getting packages from the unstable and not the frozen directory; I didn't notice that slink had moved Once I fized that, eveything installed fine. So, this time I updated everything from the frozen directory ... and again the ncurses errors. I thought that perhaps some things had been moved to the stable directory, so after reinstalling (nothing worked on my system after the update) I dselected from the stable directory. Sure enough, there were some updates - including ones for all the ncurses libraries. "Ah hah", I thought. I updated those - things went fine - and then updated from frozen. And again got clobbered by ncurses errors. And again nothing worked - I had to do a hard reboot to shut down linux. So 1) Is the frozen directory currently hosed or did I overlook something again? And 2) Any idea when slink will be released as a stable release? Thanks - Sean
