MC bugs

Post by toothandnail »

These may be upstream rather than Salix, however, they are a royal pain.

Attempting to use the MC vfs to examine the contents of an ISO image gets this error:

Code: Select all

Iconv not yet supported
Not sure if this is a MC build problem or a missing package. I suspect the latter, but I'm not sure what package should be added.

Second problem (more important to me, since I use it lots). I'm able to establish a Fish link to remote sites. The connection works normaly for most things. File transfers don't work correctly though.

Transferrng a file from remote to local works. Transfering a file from local to remote fails silently every time.

My mc browses the Salix ISO without problems.

You can try sshfs instead of fish.

Interesting. I'm getting that error on a fresh install with only a few extra packages added.

:) Trouble is, I have no idea what MC uses to browse ISO files.

Never tried it. I'll have to check. Thanks.

Probably there is a package mising, but I don't know which one. I had a libiconv package installed, but after removing it, it still works.

:) Probably. Though it mus be missing from the full install from the CD, since that is what I used.

I've not had much luck with sshfs so far either. I get this when I attempt to mount a remote file system:

Code: Select all

red3[~]$ sshfs root@mail.brillcomputers.co.uk:/root /mnt/icy
Enter passphrase for key '/home/red3/.ssh/id_rsa': 
fusermount: user has no write access to mountpoint /mnt/icy
I guess I'll have to do some more reading and see if I can find the magic formula...

The error message says everything ;) Either change the owner of /mnt/icy to your user red3 (chown -R red3:users /mnt/icy) or mount it somewhere in your home folder.

Was not working correctly utility isoinfo from the package cdrtools.
I deleted the cdrtools package and found a similar distribution of cdrkit Vector 7.0, mc problem with iso images disappeared.
