Because I use Rox-filer to put icons on the desktop, I call
MC from a small script file in $home which loads an xterm, with some
parameters to put up a bigger MC on the screen.

This is the script at the moment

xterm -g 140x40+140+20 -fn 10x20 -e mc -x

I am running Debian Sid fully updated.




How fully? My mc (in Gnome Terminal) looks OK, but I haven't upgraded
today or yesterday, as apt wants to remove 84 packages. There looks to
be some kind of logjam involving KDE and/or Qt.



  Updated as of this morning...I don't run KDE or any QT stuff so I 
didn't experience that.

no mouse in midnight commander

2020-02-01 Thread Frank McCormick



I noticed this morning that my mouse no longer works in MC. When I use 
it, it leaves keycodes on mc's command line at

the bottom of the screen.

Because I use Rox-filer to put icons on the desktop, I call
MC from a small script file in $home which loads an xterm, with some 
parameters to put up a bigger MC on the screen.


This is the script at the moment

xterm -g 140x40+140+20 -fn 10x20 -e mc -x

I am running Debian Sid fully updated.
