urxvt and pacman

I managed to put urxvt transparent in the background in openbox, just perfect. The problem is, when I install something with pacman, instead of the usual single line indicating the download status of the package, it prints a new line every 2 seconds, and it's starting to get annoying. Is there anyway to override this, is this even normal?

I've never heard of that before, but try checking your PS1 line in your .bashrc. Try changing it back to the default just to see if this phenomenon still occurs.

Re: urxvt and pacman

sorry, my bad.

I had set urxvt too small, so the download bar could not display correctly, I changed the size and it fixed it.

Thanks though.
