Re: entering zip archives since 4.8.22?

Here: CentOS7 with Mate, if I [enter] a zip file in mc 4.8.22, it opens
the desktop's defaut binding for zip files: engrampa.
My ~/.config/mc/mc.ext file contains:
# zip
shell/i/.zip
Open=%cd %p/uzip://
View=%view{ascii} /usr/local/libexec/mc/ext.d/archive.sh view zip
# zip
type/i/^zip\ archive
Open=%cd %p/uzip://
View=%view{ascii} /usr/local/libexec/mc/ext.d/archive.sh view zip
The previous (and expected) behaviour was to browse the archive inside
mc as a subfolder. I didn't notice a change of behaviour for other
archive types.
Please try update your local mc.ext:
https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/4180
https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/4183
Patching my mc.ext didn't fix it (Iapplied the fix from #4180), and
that sounded suspicious to me.
Then I've built the latest sources from git master, removed my
~/.config/mc/mc.ext
and it still does not work (opens desktop's app for archives instead).
F3 doesn't work either:
identify: no decode delegate for this image format `ZIP' @
error/constitute.c/ReadImage/564.
Back to 2.8.25 and its mc.ext and everything works.

Re: mc start just shows black screen through putty
mc has many options you may try, e.g. -a, -b, -s... What you should definitely try is strace mc to find out where it is stuck. To my experience, this may be related to DNS, NFS ... For whatever reason mc tries to resolve something (maybe localhost) at start and may get stuck there for a long time. Compare the env from putty and shell too.. On Wed, 4 Mar 2020, Chris wrote: Hi, I'm a long-time enthusiastic user of mc, using it on a number of virtual and bare metal machines. For one particular new machine with a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04, I have now come across a strange issue: When I open a console on the machine, I can start mc. However, via putty, starting mc just brings up a black screen with the standard upper right corner (one character) in the upper right and the "Hint: Want your plain shell? Press C-o, and get back to MC with C-o again." text at the bottom. That putty window is totally unresponsive. I am using the same putty configuration that I am using with dozens of other machines (incl. Ubuntu 18.04) and that works just fine there. I have tried deleting ~/.config/mc, and I have also tried upgrading from the stock MC version provided by Ubuntu 18.04 to the newest release version. No change. I also tried using the Bitvise SSH client and the ssh client built into Windows 10 instead of putty, but am running into the same problem. mc does show, however, in termius on iOS. If anybody has a hint on what I might try to get MC running from remote on that particular machine, that would be great!

Re: use of graphics characters recently disabled in xterm
On Fri, 8 Sep 2017, Theodore Kilgore wrote: The only thing I can think of is that something in the options for xterm needs to be changed, but I have no clue about what that magic option might be. Or, it could possibly be some library which deals with graphics and is somehow broken on an AMD-based machine. I am pretty much guessing, of course, but to fix the problem would be nice. Anyone have an idea? Check your TERM (echo $TERM) variable in xterm. Most probably the slackware switched to xterm-256color or something. Also check the output of "locale" and check the Ctrl-right click menu in xterm for some font settings. Theodore Kilgore Adam Pribyl ___ mc mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc

Re: mc is over!? - post by Ilia Maslakov
Well, this is second time, I do see mc to struggle with maintenance. There were even years, it was moving from one site to another, gnome triing to consume it etc. This really is weird as it is one of most valuable tools for admins, even thou it is not installed by default on most systems nowadays. What is a surprise for me is, that this tool, which is already perfect in most directions, needs such a maintenance effort.. Adam Pribyl ___ mc mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
