Sakura, Xterm and Yaourt

I use Sakura for my terminalling, but when I download and install a program from yaourt, when the process has finished, it changes the title of Sakura to say xterm, but its really Sakura, as it has all of the functionality and stuff.

My question is: Have I not done something right, or is it a harmless bug?

Thanks in advance for you help :)

Re: Sakura, Xterm and Yaourt

I would venture to guess that TERM=xterm.  Try to echo $TERM and see what you get.  As Cerebral said, this is harmless I'm sure.

Re: Sakura, Xterm and Yaourt

gnome-terminal has a nice feature for not displaying dynamically set term titles

But urxvt will rock your momma!

Re: Sakura, Xterm and Yaourt

There's an option in /etc/yaourtrc that resets the terminal title after yaourt runs. You can set it to "off" in there, and it stops that behavior.

I'm not sure why that feature would be desirable, but it's there.

Re: Sakura, Xterm and Yaourt

Edit /usr/bin/yaourt:

die(){
    # reset term title
    if [ $TERMINALTITLE -eq 0 -o -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then
        exit $1
    fi
# begin change - no more xterm
#    echo -n -e "\033]0;$TERM\007"
    echo -n -e "\033]0;User Terminal\007"
# end change

Of course, you can make User Terminal whatever you like.  I like to have my terminal title and taskbar (prompt too) show me when I am root and when I am not.

Re: Sakura, Xterm and Yaourt

Same here. It's boring.

UpdateTerminalTitle
         If set to "no", don't show the current yaourt's  action  in  terminal
       title.
         By default, yaourt show messages like "Installing xxx from AUR".
         It's recommended to add something like this in your .bashrc

           example:   PROMPT_COMMAND='echo   -ne  "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}:
       ${PWD}\007"'

Here i add this to my .bashrc:

PROMPT_COMMAND='echo   -ne  "\033]0;Terminal: ${USER}@${HOSTNAME}\007"'

I'm a more happy person now.

Re: Sakura, Xterm and Yaourt

I changed to this:

PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;Sakura\007"'

And i have always the correct name of the aplication. ;D

Re: Sakura, Xterm and Yaourt

you should add the following line to ~/.bashrc

alias sakura='sakura -t "who cares about a stupid terminal name"'
