Public bug reported: These error messages are appeared in Xubuntu 6.06 LTS, Kubuntu 6.06 LTS. It seems like there is no matter, what Ubuntu derivate you have - it appears everywhere, where Midnight Commander is installed. Midnight Commander in use - mc_4.6.1-1ubuntu2_i386.deb Kernel in use - 2.6.15-26-386 Tested file for view: ~/.bashrc
Error message #1 **************** If you would like to edit any text file by pressing F4, then Midnight Commander shows error message: Load syntax file Error in file /home/user/.mc/cedit/Syntax on line 121 If I press any key, then it goes further and will edit file as asked. But boring is always hit one more key on keyboard to edit file. And by the way, if I look at ~/.mc/cedit/ folder, then it's empty! I checked this as regular user and as root. Sometimes, e.g. ~/.mc/history, does not give error, when looking it with F3. Error message #2 ***************** If you just want to look inside text file by pressing F3 and again F3 (or F10) to exit from view, then it shows errors: .bashrc:26: warning: can't find special character `\033[01;32m]' .bashrc:26: warning: numeric expression expected (got a special character) .bashrc:26: a space character is not allowed in an escape name .bashrc:29: cannot use character `:' as a starting delimiter .bashrc:29: a space character is not allowed in an escape name .bashrc:34: warning: numeric expression expected (got a special character) .bashrc:34: a space character is not allowed in an escape name I will in comment add also pictures and my .bashrc. Unfortunately I cannot add these files now, when reporting bug, because I just don't see any opportunity to do it right now. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Midnight Commander shows error messages https://launchpad.net/bugs/53155 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
