[Bug 421261] Re: xterm background colour used to be black, now white
Figured this one out... Ubuntu's /etc/gdm/Xsession doesn't set SYSRESOURCES (and USRRESOURCES) before sourcing /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30x11-common_xresources, so /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common is never read. ** Package changed: xterm (Ubuntu) = gdm (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421261 Title: xterm background colour used to be black, now white -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

On my system, Debian squeeze, the resource files for xterm are: /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color xterm loads its resources from /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm, but if you add the line XTerm*customization: -color To your ~/.Xdefaults file, then xterm loads will load its resources from file /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color instead. /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color includes everything from /etc/X11/app- defaults/XTerm plus sets the colors to give you white text on black background (or whatever is defined in XTerm-color) You can even put: *customization: -color in your ~/.Xdefaults and then all apps, not just xterm, will use the ???-color resource files. -- xterm background colour used to be black, now white https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421261 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 421261] Re: xterm background colour used to be black, now white
Hi, is anyone working on this? It's really annoying 8-). I ran uxterm under strace and it appears to only look for UXTerm and _NOT_ UXTerm-color resources. Since x11-common is responsible for making it use -color, I looked for uxterm opening that file in the strace, but it appears to ignore that file. If I manually xrdb -override that file, it works as expected. In conclusion, the root bug seems to be that uxterm does not (or no longer) consults /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common Could this be a regression in Xt? Can this be fixed, maybe? Or is this an unintended side-effect of http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570447 ?

The information that seems to be missing is, a) what was the previous version of xterm used?

I've tried installing xterm packages from jaunty, intrepid and hardy. They all come up white. My guess is it's not part of the problem.

The only (upstream) thing that comes to mind is to make the include-structure of the uxterm app-defaults files consistent with xterm. Doing that will make this user's windows both have a white background. I'm doing that for patch #256. I did notice that on my Debian/stable (sarge), that the customization:color is not set in /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common (but my $HOME/.Xdefaults had long had the setting).

Hmm, not sure how to go about fixing this. I can confirm the behavior. We're not doing anything in the xterm packaging to make it white rather than black in Ubuntu. Maybe something elsewhere in the system is causing it to show up white but I can't tell what that would be.

X's default background for xterm is white; Debian sets it to black. Redhat and some others leave it as white. (I generally prefer black, since color contrasts work better against black). I prefer black too. I guess the issue here is, what colour does Ubuntu want it to be for an xterm and a uxterm? I would have thought that /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color having these lines: ! Set the default text foreground and background colors. *VT100*foreground: gray90 *VT100*background: black suggests that black is what's intended. If that's the case we have a bug. I'm a little unsure now though, maybe they just want xterm's to be white by default and the above doesn't apply for some reason. -- xterm background colour used to be black, now white https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421261 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

That is working as intended on my Debian/testing using fvwm2. Usually the reason for it failing to work would be some conflicting resource, e.g,. having reverseVideo set, or having some color definitions set. -- Thomas E.

But that's one of the places I'd look, since #241 comes up with the wrong color. The other would be the output of appres XTerm appres UXTerm which would list _most_ of the resource settings seen by xterm and uxterm respectively. (If it doesn't show up there, it's harder to isolate - that's when I give up on the packaged binary and compile xterm with debugging traces, so I can see what resources it has ;-). -- Thomas E.

UXTerm is an interesting one to check. I switched over to it and it gets the black background as expected. I'm not starting to wonder if that's what I might have been using before. Maybe xterm has always been white. I'll attach the output of the two appres commands.
