[gentoo-user] latest eix versions messes with my screen status bar

[gentoo-user] latest eix versions messes with my screen status bar

[Paul Hartman]

Hi,

Following a recent eix version update, after running eix-sync it
leaves the session name on my screen status bar like:

$eix-sync: Finished

does anyone know anything about that?

Is there perhaps something I can add to my shell prompt to make it
reset the status bar title after a program exits?

I would _love_ to know the answer to this, as I've been wanting to
stick something like that in my $PS1 for months, now. (General use and
convenience, not because of eix).

I haven't seen that here myself. I'm having troubles with eix-remote,
but not eix-sync. both the command line and the title on konsole look
fine to me.

Note that I run almost 100% stable but then get testing versions of
portage, eix and about a dozen other programs. If you're running full
~amd64 then it might be a problem elsewhere

Hope this helps,
Mark

See https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=407473 .

$ echo -n "\033kzsh\033\\" 
will set "zsh" in the status bar. 

There is no way to reset the status bar title automatically, because
there is no way to determine its content before changing it.

Thanks, that bug is exactly what I'm talking about.

Unfortunately. the echo command or similar that I've found just echo
the text back to my terminal and don't change the title in the status
bar. I am using bash, not zsh, so maybe the syntax is different or
more likely I've got something set up wrong. :)

The following command should work in both shells:

$ printf "\033kbash\033\\"

That worked. Thank you again!
