stephan-t ... did that update happen to include dev-lang/perl? If so, did you run 'perl-cleaner --all' subsequently?

stephan-t ... this doesn't give me any kind of idea of what your problem is, so rather than provide videos, or contextless errors, explain the problem.

@khayyam

I cannot use regular commands in terminal and cannot open my favorite applications like command-like interfaces: ranger,ncmpcpp,htop,mc etc. or doesn't type correctly, because i hit backspace leap characters like hitting many space.

stephan-t ... ok, urxvt isn't functioning ... but you can access a console and see the errors urxvt is writing to tty1, and get a shell in tty2 and so be able to see why that might be the case and fix it (ie running 'perlcleaner --all' ... if that is indeed the issue ... hard to tell from the above), or provide information for me to go on (like 'emerge --info', the packages updated, etc).

If rxvt doesn't work, use xterm.

If you haven't xterm, use control+alt+f1 and user pure VT.

If that doesn't work, your system is completely broken and you should be using a livecd to chroot and fix whatever needs fixing there.

In any case, a couple of things you can try is re-emerging terminfo (useful if you broke stuff in /etc/terminfo) and try to use something plain such as "rxvt-unicode" or "xterm" as your $TERM (or some other that's listed when you do "ls -ls /etc/terminfo/*").

I see you are using TERM=urxvt-256color or something like that. I've never seen that, and it certainly is not under my /etc/terminfo, so double check that.

Can you confirm that this was the line immediately above those:

Yeah, that can be solved by reading the output :lol: his problem has nothing to do with that, though. His problem is that he has an incorrect $TERM that can't be found. That's my guess, anyway.

You're probably right; mine uses TERM=rxvt-unicode-256color and I've had no problems with it.

The status not changed urxvt totally crap. I tried the stable end development version, instead of perl or urxvt-perl packages.

Probably try the another terminal emulator this time.
