I solved this with an environmental variable:

export G_FILENAME_ENCODING=UTF-8

Putting it in my ~/.profile makes it permanent.

That dash definitely triggers the bug and I cannot print the duckduckgo.com homepage to PDF unless I delete the dash (replacing it with a hyphen works fine).

So I guess my problem is worse than I...

Sorry, neo. It's not a hyphen/minus in duckduckgo.com, it seems to be a dash. Definitely not ASCII. After I dig myself out of the error dialogs, replacing the dash with a minus makes the filename...

Many reasons. The main one is that I often print webpages to PDF from my browser (chromium). When I try to print a webpage to PDF, if there are any non-ASCII characters in the webpage's name then I...

I'm on Tiny Core Linux Pure64 10.1. My locale is en_US.UTF-8 and I generally have no trouble with Unicode characters with one exception: When I try to use Unicode characters in GTK applications' file...

How to *completely* disable laptop touchpad, without disabling trackpoint?
I run Devuan ASCII on my T400 laptop. I only use the trackpoint ("nipple mouse"). To me, the touchpad is just a nuisance.

I've discovered (by monitoring output of sudo cat /dev/input/event5) that...

Thank you, Jim. That's a great tutorial.

In case this helps other newbies, I moved the getstring function to a separate file containing custom functions. Also, I changed getstring's logic to go...

Andrew, thank you so much for your beautiful explanation. I understand the issue and can confirm that this works exactly as expected:

C: inputting string of unknown length
I realize this general issue (inputting strings of variable length in C) has been addressed in myriad locations before, but I'm interested in knowing why my specific approach is not working. (BTW I'm...

Actually, for some reason it is not necessary to turn off buffering in the first command. Only in the second. In other words, these versions also work:

YES! That works. Is there a way to generalize this solution (e.g., at the level of the shell), so that things keep flowing down the pipe?

Both gawk and nawk complain: option `-W interactive` unrecognized, ignored.

But I think we're getting warmer. It does seem to have something to do with buffering.

No, that's not the issue: xinput test 6 definitely outputs to stdout. Proof is that xinput test 6 6>/dev/null produces output, but xinput test 6 1>/dev/null produces no output.

I had tried that, but apparently pdksh there is no history command: 'history' is just an alias for 'fc -l'

So you're saying the "real" ksh has 'history' command with these flags? Nice! I'm...

Thanks, bakunin. I'm new to the Korn shell, so had no idea about these nuances. I see that ksh93 is in the OpenBSD package repository, so I'll install it and see how it's different from pdksh.

Thank you, Jim, that is a useful alias but not what I'm looking for. I'll try to explain it differently:

I did try searching, but no luck. I guess nobody using ksh as their interactive shell is as lazy as I am.

[ksh] how to reload history file without entering a command
I'm basically looking for the ksh equivalent of bash's PROMPT_COMMAND="history -r", where simply redrawing the command prompt in a terminal will cause ksh to reload the history file.
