Hi! This is not really a question since I managed to solve the issue (while writing the post of course ;) - I just hope it might help someone else too.
I was having huge problems with mc for the last half of year or so. When I would be uploading or downloading something from FTP or just merely browsing through directories the whole mc would freeze and all I could do was to kill it. It has been happening all the time (after a few minutes of work usually) with all FTP connections. I have searched the internet for a possible cause but couldn't find it... And I just thought that sooner or later a release would come that would solve my problems. Well, now it froze one too many times and I started writing a mail to this mailing list when it occured to me - why not try the popular M$ Windows trick? So I reinstalled mc (# dpkg --remove mc; apt-get install mc) and it didn't work. Then I moved my ~/.mc/ to another directory and completely reinstalled mc (# dpkg --purge mc; apt-get install mc) - AND IT WORKS!!!! :) :) I am just mad at myself for not using such a simple trick half a year ago... I almost lost my nerves with filezilla (not a bad ftp program, just sooooo inconvenient to use compared to midnight commander). Anyway, that's it... if someone is interested in my ~/.mc/* (except for hotlist of course ;) for bug hunting please send me a mail since I won't be on this list anymore... Just thought I'd share. Hope it helps someone. Best, Anze _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
