why can't mc open /dev/gpmctl?
Hi,
found something like this in my logs for every start of mc:
Sep 1 12:13:48 pkfp20 mc: /dev/gpmctl: No such file or directory
I wonder why. Maybe a bug in mc? In fact, /dev/gpmctl exists:
srwxrwxrwx1 root root0 Sep 1 12:16 gpmctl=
The '=' is an indication of the file type (socket?).
Furthermore, the strace lines look good (or not?):
...
socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0) = 10
connect(10, {sin_family=AF_UNIX, path=/dev/gpmctl}, 13) = 0
write(10, \376\377\1\0\0\0\0\0nI\0\0\1\0\0\0, 16) = 16
...
Any idea what's wrong here?
Thanks,
Ulf

In fact, /dev/gpmctl exists: I got these too, with both mc and links. I guess it's a libgpm0-bug. Installing (and running) gpm fixed it for me (gpm can't listen() on it's AF_UNIX socket when it's not installed/running :).

I thought that /dev/gpmctl would not exist if gpm doesn't run. But it is there, although mc insists it isn't. Strange. Ulf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
