mc hangs
by Jancs - Feb 10th 2008 09:12:01
Hi!
i have a problem with hanging mc: if mc is run over ssh in screen session
under x.org (x.org - on the server side), after some operations mc hangs
and what is the most disappointing - the only possibility to start mc anew
is to reboot the system.
all this goes on on slackware 11, 12 and default package.

bugreport: menu box displacement
by igor2 - Jan 15th 2007 21:39:32
Hi,
menubar_draw_drop misplaces the box because the menubar's strting x
and y coordinates are added twice. This bug doesn't produce visible
result
as long as menu starts at screen coordinates 0;0.
Tibor Palinkas
P.S. I know this is not the proper place to report bugs; however, the
project
page doesn't offer any mean of anonymous bugreporting and I am not
willing
to register to another service just to report a single bug.

midnight commander has mysterius forces
by René van Bevern - May 14th 2004 04:09:51
i have tried many file managers, but i always got back to the midnight
commander. it attracts me, must be some mysterious force. :) But probably
it is just because i have been using the DOS Norton Commander since i have
been 5 or 6 years old ;)
midnight commander is by far the best one ...

Editor displaying ^M
by Marc - Mar 13th 2003 04:06:27
I've upgraded from mc-4.5.42 (rpm, binary) to mc-4.6 (compiled on my
system).
Now in the editor, for text files with LF/CR as a line separator it
displays a "^M" (CR) on black background at the end of each line.
The previous version didn't, and it used to respect the standard of the
opened file (LF/CR or LF).
Do I have a problem with one setting ?
Note that it's not specific to one syntax highlight in particular.
Maybe a compilation option ? With "--with-screen=" ?

This is the BEST program I've ever seen for Linux..
As an old DOS user I've allways missed Norton Commander!!
Good work!!
And thank you!

dir size overflow
by scrtchy - Feb 8th 2002 00:50:07
I ripped a dozen CD's into .wav files, so they take
up about 6GB. When I look at directory size
[Command/show directory sIzes] with MC 4.5.51, it
shows "965248M" for the containing folder!!! This
965,248M seems peculiar, because all parent
folders show this exact figure. Is this an arithmetic
overflow?? 32-bit is not enough, eh?

Re: dir size overflow

4.6.0-pre1 is the first version with large file support enabled by default.
You just cannot go beyond 4Gb on a 32-bit machine without kludges like
large file support.

mc problem: F4 to edit on ANY file as normal user gives error and no syntax formatting:
by hardedged - Jan 21st 2002 01:07:25
Using latest version as of Jan. 2002, when you hit F4 to edit ANY file
while running mc as a normal user, it gives the error:
"Load syntax file
File access error
dismiss"
(dialog box)
Further more it does NOT produce the snazzy unix-licious colour-formatted
text display,
WHAT-SO-EVER!
This does NOT happen as root - only as a normal user¿¡?!
This sucks... going to try cvs / will post if does any good.
Someone know how to fix? Please* email me!
Thanks alot.

Re: mc problem: F4 to edit on ANY file as normal user gives error and no syntax formatting:
by Pavel Roskin - Aug 22nd 2002 00:36:04
Editor files were moved from ~/.cedit/ to ~/.mc/cedit/ soon after the
4.5.55 release.
Most likely your ~/.mc is not writeable. Better error messages are needed,
but the translatable strings are frozen until 4.6.0. Until then, gdb and
strace are your friends. Sorry for inconvenience.

mc-4.5.5[23] hangs on startup (console)
by ZlatkO - Apr 16th 2001 09:17:26
Self-compiled from source on several machines; kernel 2.2.19,
ncurses-5.2, slang-1.4.4, glibc versions from 2.1.2 to 2.2.2.
Sometimes it helps to add "-u" (no subshell) and/or "-d" (no mouse),
but usually it just hangs there showing a blank screen as well.
This only happens when starting mc from the console, starting it from
an xterm works fine as usual. 4.5.51 works fine both from the console and
from an xterm. Any ideas?

Short update: same problem with 4.5.54. Back to 4.5.51 again, I guess. :-(

Does your cons.saver file has setuid bit enabled?

> Does your cons.saver file has setuid bit enabled?
Thanks a lot for this hint! Seems like this was indeed the culprit, now
it works fine. :-)
Looks like someone quietly changed the "make install" routine to not
'chmod u+s cons.saver' automatically after 4.5.51. Hint to the developers:
a mention in the ChangeLog/README would have been nice - sure, I found the
appropriate comment in src/cons.saver.c, but only after I knew what
I had to look for.
Anyway, Life Is Good[tm] again - keep up the good works! 8-]

Re: mc-4.5.5[23] hangs on startup (console)
by Pavel Roskin - Aug 28th 2001 00:17:34
Sorry, MC has more than one ChangeLog (and more than one README). This will
change some day.
Anyway, MC-4.5.55 shouldn't hang if cons.saver fails.
Please send bugs and ideas to the mailing list.

Re: mc-4.5.5[23] hangs on startup (console)
by Pavel Roskin - Aug 22nd 2002 00:40:05
A serious bug that can cause hang in the subshell has been fixed days
before 4.6.0-pre1 release. Please give it a try. The fix is incomplete
(strictly speaking, only integration of the subshell can be a complete
fix), but it can help you.

I know, I'm following the mc-devel mailing list (remember my netrc
fix^Wkludge a few months ago? ;-). This hang was completely unrelated to
the one that's been fixed recently, though, all that was required was
setting cons.saver SUID root.
Newer versions and snapshots didn't need this workaround for the hang
anymore anyway - I still applied it, though, because otherwise mc would act
as if the console was a "dumb terminal" (ie. it didn't save the subshell's
output when switching back and forth with Ctrl-O). Again, this was only a
problem in console mode, it always worked fine in an xterm.
Anyway, thanks for the heads-up - much appreciated! 8-)

Bugs!
by Iapetus - Dec 6th 2000 10:54:56
Does anyone know if there are any bug fixes for mc comming. There are 2000+
(many I'm sure are repeats) bugs in gnomes bug tracker for mc. That is
2000+ more than any other gnome program. It doesn't look like anything has
been done in 3+ months. I installed the newest 4.5.50 version and it
crashes all time. What is the status of midnight commander? I know it's "no
longer under development" but is there a bug fix version forthcoming? I'm
going back to an older more stable version... I just don't know which one
yet!

listing bug
by MG55 - Jul 4th 2000 07:58:29
there's a bug in sort-by-name listing in 4.5.50: if I select "case
sensitive" it doesn't put .* files before others, and it's NOT case
sensitive. If I disable the option, .* files come back to the first
positions, but obviously there's no Case sensitive sorting.

Re: listing bug

It's a bug in your locale. strcoll() must be case
sensitive but it's not.
There is no workaround for this bug as of mc-4.5.52.
A workaround for you is to set LC_COLLATE=C in
your environment.

mcserv
by naChoZ - Mar 7th 2000 09:42:41
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that mcserv is excruciatingly
slow. I started using mc lately just because it's very fast at shuffling
files around for me, including from machine to machine. So I tried mcserv
and when I shove a file to my main box, I barely get 140KB/s. Doing
straight ftp, I get a little better than 10 times that speed.

Re: mcserv
by Pavel Roskin - Apr 4th 2001 14:02:01
mcserv has never been optimized for speed.
Now that we have "fish" (filesystem over secure
shell) and an improved FTP support, mcserv will
most likely be disabled by default in the next
version as a slow and obsolete feature using a
non-standard protocol.
