That has happened to me in various installations at various times, and not in Plasma lately, so I don't remember what the solutions have been, but possibly in one of these two: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1203617 https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1212342 IIRC, there may have been a thread about it in one of the opensuse.org mailing lists not too long back, June maybe. If not, then in mc-devel@lists.midnight-commander.org I'm not sure this is related, but not long ago I added alias mc='source /usr/share/mc/mc-wrapper.sh' to /etc/bash.bashrc.local. BTW, I don't use the broken old official Leap MC version. Instead, I use 4.8.30 from this repo: [homeEcsosMC] baseurl=https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ecsos/15.5/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ecsos/15.5/repodata/repomd.... name=homeEcsosMC type=rpm-md Its owner is responsible for the newest changelog entry in the official release version 4.8.27. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

It is all UTF-8. It is the same locale I used in XFCE, but now KDE is not working right.
And it worked right yesterday. There was a crash (the desktop froze) tonight.
That has happened to me in various installations at various times, and not in Plasma lately, so I don't remember what the solutions have been, but possibly in one of these two: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1203617
Bug 1203617 - In plasma5 midnight commander doesn't exit to current directory anymore Appears this as recommendation for TW: echo "alias mc='source /usr/share/mc/mc-wrapper.sh'" >> ~/.bashrc but there is further working on it for the solution. Otherwise, doesn't seem to be related to my problem.
Duplicate of the previous bugzilla above.
IIRC, there may have been a thread about it in one of the opensuse.org mailing lists not too long back, June maybe. If not, then in mc-devel@lists.midnight-commander.org
I'm not sure this is related, but not long ago I added
alias mc='source /usr/share/mc/mc-wrapper.sh'
to /etc/bash.bashrc.local.
I just started mc by calling that script, the problem persists. This has been the second thing I tried from your post.
BTW, I don't use the broken old official Leap MC version. Instead, I use 4.8.30 from this repo:
[homeEcsosMC] baseurl=https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ecsos/15.5/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ecsos/15.5/repodata/repomd.... name=homeEcsosMC type=rpm-md
Its owner is responsible for the newest changelog entry in the official release version 4.8.27.
Ah! Thanks for that, just installed it. But doesn't solve the problem (I tried this first). cer@Laicolasse:~> mc --version GNU Midnight Commander 4.8.30 Built with GLib 2.70.5 Built with S-Lang 2.3.1a with terminfo database Built with libssh2 1.11.0 With builtin Editor With subshell support as default With support for background operations With mouse support on xterm and Linux console With support for X11 events With internationalization support With multiple codepages support With ext2fs attributes support Virtual File Systems: cpiofs, tarfs, sfs, extfs, ftpfs, sftpfs Data types: char: 8; int: 32; long: 64; void *: 64; size_t: 64; off_t: 64; cer@Laicolasse:~> -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

It is these two in .i18n, either of them produce error: LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 LC_TIME=en_DK.utf8 Weird. On XFCE there was no problem. If I leave the line commented out in .i18n file, it works.

Bash, of course.
