Software :: Midnight Commander Using Nano, Not Built-in Editor?
Jun 26, 2010
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.
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.
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.
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)?
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.
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.
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?
On a notebook mainboard, that has no display, a vga display is connected, I want to set mainboard display to turned off and vga display turned on and primary. Keeping the settings after restarting.
In lxde there is 'display settings'. If I set 'turn off laptop lcd and use external monitor only vga', it does not keep the setting, not even until the computer is turned off. It defaults to the setting with both displays turned on.
I got this link [URL] ....
I cannot find the location of the file.
Using nano editor on a file, can I set the vga display to get the only and primary display also after restarting the mainboard? What file and location?
Should I edit text to xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768 --rate 60 xrandr --output VGA1 --primary
What do I write to turn off lvds display? Will the settings apply such that the debian login screen will show on the vga display when starting the mainboard?
How do I disable sudo password for nano editor in my box ? I've already tried this following line in /etc/sudoers. But I haven't logged off or rebooted the box maybe this is why it did not work.
user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/nano
so for example when I try to edit file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf I run nano /etc/nginx/nfingx.conf
or this won't work because nginx.conf file belongs to root ?
I am trying to copy paste from a file in Nano to a text editor outside of nano on my machine (I am running windows using Nano through Putty) and I cannot figure out how to do it. I can select with mouse support enabled everything that I want to in Nano and I can cut it, but when I try to copy into my other text editor, it does not work.
i have been trying to find the nano or pine text editor for suse 10 64bit architecture but unable to find it and use it. i am not interested in vi editor. i have been using nano for fedora/RHEL for a long time. in finding rpm of nano/pico for suse 64bit architecture.
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?
On windows I really only used Notepad++ as my text editor, it had two features that I loved.What I need to accomplish is what I would do with Notepad++ column editor.I could have like 100 lines, and place the cursor at a column, and goto edit>column editor, and I could insert an incrementing number. (I could also pad the incrementing number with 0s, this was GREAT for making batch files among other things.)So each line at that column had a number higher than the previous line.The other feature that I used sometimes was a search/replace with regex patterns.Does anyone know of an editor that has those features for linux? I am mostly after the column editor insert feature but if you know of one with both features that would rock.

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 ?
I have a daemon script which wakes up every 5 minutes and checks the health of started processes. It works fine during the day but throws a syntax error just after midnight.Here is the log:
(02/22-23:49) Check all started processes (02/22-23:54) Check all started processes (02/22-23:59) Check all started processes

I hope you will be able to help me, because a day ago asked the same question to russian linux users and did not give me an answer at all. I am using xubuntu on my laptop and am completely sick and tired og thunar file manager. Found what I want - it is Gnome Commander. But really cannot find out how to make it default, especialy I would like to open it by clicking the button Folders (Places) near the Main menu button (hope I described it correct).
