When logged into a console as normal user (michal, uid 501), running Midnight Commander barfs at me this message:
warning: [gpm.c(857)]: Failed gpm connect attempt by uid 501 for vc /dev/vc/0 last=/home/flepied/RPM/BUILD/gpm-1.20.0/src/liblow.c home/flepied/RPM/BUILD/gpm-1.20.0/src/liblow.c flepied/RPM/BUILD/gpm-1.20.0/src/liblow.c RPM/BUILD/gpm-1.20.0/src/liblow.c BUILD/gpm-1.20.0/src/liblow.c gpm-1.20.0/src/liblow.c src/liblow.c liblow.c info: [liblow.c(446)]: Warning: closing connection The message is as copied from the screen, so maybe a little garbled. The MC screen then becomes scrolled up, and mc is therefore not usable. Indeed, I have no right to access /dev/vc/0 (root|root). This is an upgrade to 9.0 from clean install of 8.2 (download edition). Midnight Commander works OK when logged in a console as root or for any user under X terminal. Michal Bukovjan
