Re: [Evolution] Discourse and the situation for Mailman lists hosted by Gnome.org

Thanks to everyone who has been trying to do something about this.  Its sad
the more ML's move to web forums, i've been on a few like that and its
never been the same, they lose a lot of good people.

Thanks for everyone's replies, its helped determine where the problem might
be.  Since i'm using LXDE and no one else notices this problem, that seems

Re: small request

[solarflow99]

Perhaps having something like "save directory paths", "other-dir" or
similar as Paul mentioned could be added with the default to just be ON.
This could always be overridden by unchecking it and saving settings.  But
no one will ever complain about having this back because no one complained
until it was lost when mc 4.8 came out :)
Would this really be too hard?

We're talking about default fresh install settings. I don't like mc saving
settings unless I tell it, also. But to make things easy for new users,
what should the default setting be?

I vote for auto-save. It makes mc "seem" smart.

Re: panel behaviour on rhel7

[solarflow99]

I found the solution to this.

With the newer versions of mc, there is a single option NOT enabled by
default that caused the problem.  This is true in any linux distro as well
since I tested with debian on a PI and it had the same problem.   If it can
be enabled by default, that would be just perfect, is there any chance of
this?

Options -> Panel Options -> Auto save panels setup

This looks like a new option with mc 4.8 thats why it always worked before
that.  Is there any way we can have this changed back the way it was, so we
don't have to save the setup on every host I ever use?


Thanks,

Re: panel behaviour on rhel7

[solarflow99]

yes, I see where that is now, thanks.  The problem seems that the
panels.ini file isn't being written to upon exit.  The only difference I
can see is with older versions of Fedora saves the file (as the root user
in my case) to: /root/.mc  However in newer ones it goes to:
/root/.config/mc the rest is all the same.  I have to manually "save setup"
is the only way to have it write to that file.

versions:
EL-6: mc-4.7.0.2-3.el6.x86_64
F-21: mc-4.8.7-8.el7.x86_64

I verified the ini has auto_save_setup=1


I don't have another distro to test on, if I did I suppose that could rule
out if its a bug or just something about the OS.

panel behaviour on rhel7

[solarflow99]

Has anyone else noticed with RHEL 7 and later versions of fedora, the
directory you were last in is lost in the split panel, the next time you
start mc?

Excellent, glad to know mc hasn't been abandoned.  I most certainly
appreciate this tool and use it everyday.

Re: mc problem in recent versions of fedora/rhel

[solarflow99]

Thanks to Martin on the list, here is the solution:

It was actually the presence of $LANG that causes the problem.
When I unset the variable the problem is gone, this goes for both the
local and remote systems.  Fedora21 doesn't have LANG set, and if I
set it, it still doesn't show correctly.  It must be removed on the
other hosts, so nothing will have LANG set at all.  The remote hosts
i've tested this with is rhel6 and 7.  I should also mention LANG was
set to: en_US.UTF-8 on the remote
systems.  So this variable seems to cause a problem for mc.

 Since installing Fedora 21, using xterm I noticed the line and block

 works fine on localhost though.  I files a bug about it in redhat
 bugzilla, but no one there bothered to look at it.  Has anyone else
 noticed this?
