Hi folks,
I've got some strange problem with mc, I already hat a long time ago, but disappeared magically and now is back: mc keyboard input is broken - seems like it has Alt-Gr is pressed continously ... completely unusable. It happened only on one machine, which is accessed only via ssh. Doesn't matter from which machine I tried. The other machines do not have such problems, even when connecting through sevel ssh's from one to another. Also ssh'in from an xterm (on another machine) worked without problems. So I strace'd mc on several machines to compare mc's actions between working and non working. I found out that on working machines it gets in clean keystrokes via fd 3. On the broken one, the keystrokes come at fd 4, but fd 3 brings in a lot of bytes I could't interpretate. lsof showed by this fd 3 as an socket connected to the (remote) X-server. Unsetting $DISPLAY helped. Obviously we've got a problem, when mc sees an X display (and connects to it), but doesn't run in an xterm. What exactly is this X connection for ? cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: rsync://sources.metux.de/metux-patches --------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
