Fedora :: Midnight Commander 4.7.5.2: Always Returns To Its Starting Directory?
Jun 29, 2011
I am using Midnight Commander, namely this package:mc-4.7.5.2-1.fc15.x86_64I have noticed it always returns me to the directory it was started in, no matter what is told in its manual.Are there simple means to override this behavior and quit it in the current directory (as expected when quit via F10)?
I have a problem accessing a ftp server with SSL/TLS active with Midnight Commander.By now I'm quite sure that Midnight Commander does not support SSL/TLS.Anybody know of a alternative to MC with SSL/TLS support or a work around so that I'm able to use MC?A non cli ftp-client is not an option because the machine I'm accessing from is in runlevel 3.
Since I began using F11, Midnight Commander takes a life to start. Previous versions of Fedora didn't give me any problem. I know many of you don't use it, but for those who needs MC, anyone is having the same trouble? F11 x86_64.
MC remembers which panel (left or right) had the focus when closing. The next time MC opens that panel receives the focus. Is there a way to disable that option where the focus is always the left panel?There is a Command option (shortcut Ctrl-u) to swap the panels. I prefer MC simply start with the focus on the left panel.
This problem has been bugging me since KDE4 starting shipping. In konsole, if you use the default black on white profile, and you start Midnight Commander, the color of the MC screen is the default blue color it has always been. However, if you change to the green on black profile, which is the one that I prefer, and you start MC, the blue changes to some unreadable light robin egg blue which is horrid.
I'm making a huge assumption here, but it looks like something is off with the green on black profile in Konsole. Try it yourself and you will see what I mean. This only started with KDE4, but it still persists through every version to current.
I prefer to use the built-in editor that came with mc, which can be accessed with 'mc -e', however, I find when using midnight commander, if I type 'F4', then I'm presented with nano, which isn't what I want.
In Midnight Commander, is it possible to exclude some directories/patterns/... when doing search? (M-?) I'm specifically interested in skipping the .hg subdirectory.
After upgrading to Lucid, MC looks ugly - like some colors are missed. Its very difficult to work in MC now - directories and files have same color for example. [fantomas@fantomas-laptop]:-boot.png. Also, applying different themes (skins) changes bottom bar (with menu: F1 F2 etc) button colors only, not affecting colors of panels. Install 4.7.3 build of MC from here: [URL]...
When running MC in xterm or gnome-terminal, it doesn't seem to allow the use of Ctrl-enter and Ctr-shift-enter to copy marked files to the command line.
Does anyone know of another way to cause this to happen or a way to enable it under xterm/gnome-term?
When I use the default graphical file manger in Ubuntu, holding down the shift key and pressing the up or down arrow keys will select multiple files. This doesn't happen in Tux Commander or Gnome Commander. I tried looking through the preferences of each application and googling on my question. No dice. Is there anything I can do to get this functionality?
I have downloaded the latest gnome commander source code from the gnome commander home page. Following the instructions in the readme I have extracted it from the tar ball and changed to the top level directory of the source code. I execute ./configure and get a bunch of "checking" results.

I find Makefile.am and Makefile.in present in the directory. I generally install from deb packages. Still, I don't think it should be this hard to compile a package given the seemingly simple directions provided.
I ftp into the server and see the files, but when i try to make a directory or upload a file it returns an error saying that permission is denied.I am wanting the users to be able to log on with their user account and then be able to have full control over their directories. What can i do to fix this problem?I have enabled port forwarding for ftp. What else is there i can do? If you need any extra information, let me know! I would like to get this fixed asap!Here is my vsftpd.conf file.
# Example config file /etc/vsftpd.conf # # The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file
I am running shell command through C program using system() routine.
I am executing "opcontrol --status" an executable using the this routine and I get the following error. access: unix error (2) No such file or directory
But when I give the complete path to the executable it runs perfectly.
The executable is installed in "/usr/local/bin/" And the path variable has this path.
Using CentOS 5.5. I have a handful of users that I need to have connect to my server via sftp and start in the same directory. for example, user1, user2, user3, etc.. will connect via sftp and upon connection will all be in the /some/dir/path/ftp-root directory.I know one way is to create these users all with the same 'home' directory, since by default a user starts in their home directory when connecting via sftp, but before just doing that, I wanted to find out if that is really the appropriate method to use? alternatives? Is there some setting on the sftp server end that could direct all users to one starting directory so that these users don't have to have the same 'home' dir? I'm using the sshd daemon that comes with CentOS 5.5 (with all current updates/patches)
I am looking for Windows Search equivalent looking for file name patterns (not file contents but file names)....
I am aware of "globbing" and wildcard recursive search functionality in ls but I am still not capable of finding files under directories.
for example: I want to find all files starting with a string lsnr* under root directory / and any sub-directories.....
ie I want to look for files like lsnr*.* anywhere under / and any sub-directories under / such as /dir1/dir2/dir4 and dir1/other/dir/someotherdir/sub-dir etc.
so if I have /dir1/lsnrcontrol and also have /dir1/dir/2/dir3/lsnr-tinit.dat then I want to list the files names etc.

I am very new to this and seem to have fallen at the first hurdle configuring ssh...
I believe I have got ssh running (on Fedora 15) as running:
results in a password prompt and successful login
Then to find my ipaddress i ran:
this returns deatils of two adapters... 'lo' and 'p2pl'. I assumed p2pl was the one (although was expecting something like eth0) and took the address to be 'inet addr: 192.168.1.5'.
However, using this from putty on my windows7 machine (locally) results in a fatal network timeout everytime.
My sound was working quite fine with Fedora 13 (Internal Audio) until I decided that I want to install the appropriate driver from the vendor's website.

How can I calculate minutes to the next 0:00 midnight is, in a shell script ? Example it may be 07:10 or 22:36 now and I want to find out how many minutes to the next 0:00 midnight is ?
