Midnight Commander is the first package I install on a new system if it isn't installed already. I recommend it to everyone interested in trying Linux.

All the early Windows freaks played around with their file explorers and I was three times faster to change the config.sys... In 90 I used an east german clone of BSD III with an app named "rnc" and when I changed to Sinix (a SysVR4 Unix derivate) in 91 I even programmed a "lightweight" nc from scratch for my admin purposes (a bloody simple thing). I was surprised (and ashamed for my own elaborate) when I changed to Linux 99 and saw mc! Since then I use mcedit as my standard programming editor.

For instance, copying files on the server's side usually blocks. Opening FTP dir, pressing F5 on a file on the ftp side and giving a destination name without path (so it has to copy on the ftp server itself) always leads to an blocked mc (there is no "copy"-command in ftp). Also I noted ftp servers, which do block the connection after some idle time and if you try to use this connection, they want you to reconnect and to put in your password once more.

In http connections can use a session ID, after timeout disconnect and reconnect you always get a new one. If the same thing is possible and used in ftp, maybe in newer implementations, you will get a problem too.

There are two things called "menu" and one can get to them by holding down a control key and clicking either the left or the right mouse button while the pointer is in the window. The right button click displays a window called "VT fonts" and it contains relevant information. Unfortunately, I do not know if it is possible to mouse-copy its contents because it goes away immediately as soon as one lets go of that button. This VT Font menu depicts the current settings by a check mark in front of whichever setting is highlighted. One can scroll down that menu and change a setting by hand, by leaving the highlighting on top of that particular setting and then closing the menu. Also, the settings in this menu are specific to the xterm which has been opened. They remain as they previously were if one opens another xterm next to the one in which the settings have already been set by hand. And in the same manner those settings cannot be saved for another X session. A further description of possibly relevant settings in this window follows. There is a line called "line-drawing characters" which is *not* turned on. It is unclear to me what this does (see the xterm man page for an explanation, which is not totally clear). What it might be doing is turning on the line-drawing characters from X itself, to replace the ones which are provided by the font, or alternatively what it might be doing is enabling the line-drawing characters which are already provided by the font. As I said, the explanation in the man page is not very clear and these two meanings are obviously opposite to each other. In any event, to toggle this setting on and off all by itself, when other settings are not changed, seems to have no effect. There are also lines in that menu for UTF-8 Encoding, UTF-8 Fonts, and UTF-8 Titles. These are also apparently not turned on (no check marks in front). Setting UTF-Encoding *and* UTF-8 Fonts *and* Line-Drawing Characters all to be on seems to solve the problem. But by default all three of them are turned off. Why are all three of these settings turned off by default? I have no idea. In particular, this is even more amazing because it seems to be in conflict with the locale settings displayed above. So, in order to get back to the bottom of this problem it seems to me that what needs to be done is to set up a way to turn all three of these settings on. However, I do not know what I am supposed to do in order to carry that out. Change some configuration file, I suppose, or else do a local override. But I suspect that the settings are already set correctly in some file somewhere and that somehow the settings in that file are being ignored.

Do you know, how mc detects the shell? It's in both cases (root and user) classical login with bash, never manipulated there anything... cu jth -- www.teddylinx.de ___ mc mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
No subshell ifnot root, delayed start with no internet connection
Hi, I'm new here and as many others do, I will start with a question ;-) Maybe it's a stupid, well known thing, but if I'm using a newer version of mc (e.g. 4.8.13) and I'm not root, I have no subshell, C-o works, but immediately vanishes if I press a key. Same thing with mc -U. If I'm root, subshell works, setting /usr/bin/mc setuid works too, but is not wanted... Is there a user group I have to be in or some other user rights limitation I have to change? Older versions (4.7...) don't show this behavior. I use Opensuse linuxes, but seems to me, it isn't related to this. Another thing is that mc start is delayed, if no internet connection exists, seems it's looking for something, maybe updates... no clue, why and don't know since which version this is the behavior. Thx for any answer cu joerg -- www.teddylinx.de ___ mc mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
ftpfs: @ in username
Hi, the german provider t-online has new names for ftp upload: the server is named: accountname.homepage.t-online.de the username is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] using ftpfs in mc would give cd ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]@accountname.homepage.t-online.de which gives an error (server doesn't exist). Is there a way to hide the first @? and '' don't work ;-( thx for any help cu -- Joerg Thuemmler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vordruck Leitverlag GmbH Berlin, ZNL Freiberg Halsbruecker Str. 31b, 09599 Freiberg, Germany Tel. +49 (0) 3731 303-121 Fax -114 ___ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
