[Bug 1298160] Re: Midnight Commander fails to open

2014-04-16 Thread Tony Houghton 
I want you to create a script file which acts as a wrapper for the
original /usr/bin/roxterm, so run a text editor and enter these lines:

#!/bin/sh
echo "$@" >> ~/roxterm-log
exec /usr/bin/roxterm.bak "$@"

(Note I've changed the > to >>. The difference is that >> will add to
the log file every time you run roxterm, > makes a new log file every
time.)

Save the file in your home directory and call it roxterm.script. The
name doesn't really matter, just as long as you use the proper name in
the next command. Then in a terminal (I suppose you'll have to use
gnome-terminal or xterm for now) enter:

sudo cp roxterm.script /usr/bin/roxterm
sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/roxterm

Now hopefully roxterm will run again and each time it's called the
command line should be logged to roxterm-log in your home directory.

All I did was input the following lines in to Terminal

#!/bin/sh
echo "$@" > ~/roxterm-log
exec /usr/bin/roxterm.bak "$@"

I don't understand about making some executable!
You will need to be explicit with command line directions. I'm a Linux newbee.
roxterm-log is in my home directory - but it contains nothing.
The Menu shows Terminal however Roxterm  is no longer available!

I can load MC from XTerm via System Tools

Did you make the script (new /usr/bin/roxterm) executable? The log will
be in your home directory called roxterm-log.

The only roxterm files in /usr/bin/ are: roxterm  and roxterm-config.  if a log 
was generated where would it be?
Had a look at roxterm-config with nano  - nothing in it.
Had a look at roxterm.bak with nano   - and it is full of giberish, well 
giberish to me, certainly not plain text.

Carried out command line as suggested above:

Result: Can't open MC from Accessories - but without an error message
and can't open MC from desktop icon but with the error message: Failed
to execute child process "-e" (No such file or directory)

Next step?

2014-04-14 Thread Tony Houghton 
Are you sure it wasn't still running the old roxterm? If there were any
old terminals still open running roxterm again would have reused the
same instance instead of running a new one.

I can't reproduce this in Debian with GNOME 3. Can you do something to
confirm the command line being sent to roxterm? Eg:

sudo mv /usr/bin/roxterm /usr/bin/roxterm.bak

and create a new /usr/bin/roxterm something like:

#!/bin/sh
echo "$@" > ~/roxterm-log
exec /usr/bin/roxterm.bak "$@"

Add PPA as suggested and installed latest version of Roxterm (
2.8.1-1ppa1) via Synaptic Package Manager - and then tried launching MC
from Accessories and got thesame error message:

The new terminal's command failed to run: Failed to execute child
process "-e" (No such file or directory)

That sounds familiar. I think I fixed a command-line parsing bug some
while back. Please try the latest version from my PPA at
.
