Re: Midnight Commander - Where is the subshell?
Herbert and all friends of the MC, because the MC is my main tool for nearly everything, I think I should share my newest observation.

Just good to know that I have a unique problem here, not a common FreeBSD-port bug..

Should make no difference from 7.2 to 8.0 (just guessing). I thought so, too. I have 4.6.1_6 on OS 7-STABLE with the annoying read (subshell_pty...): No such file or directory (2) problem. And the strange thing: I've seen a similar message with 4.7.0 on OS 8.0-RC1! Maybe I can generate the error again. I seem to remember that it was a bit different, but included the first words... At least, they fixed some annoying behaviour of the subshell, e. g. 1. Select some files, either by + or INS. 2. Enter a command, existing one or not, press Enter. 3. Result: Your selection is gone, and the cursor is at the first entry of the current directory. This happened only for the first command you entered after starting MC; all subsequent commands are processed as intended, and as it worked in the older versions without problems. The 4.7 version doesn't show this habit anymore, thankfully. A good improvement, it was annoying. Only thing I found: There are no graphics anymore; they are present e. g. in sysinstall (borders), but not in MC. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
