Hello all.
I use mc quite frequently, but suddenly it has started behaving badly. As i enter 'mc' from the shell i usaly get the same folder opened. (eg. rikjoh@sparhawk:~> mc rikjoh@sparhawk:~>)
But since a little while back i get: rikjoh@sparhawk:~> mc 2;rikjoh@sparhawk:~1;sparhawkrikjoh@sparhawk:~>
And the "grey keys" doesnt work any more.
The only new thing i have done is using NIS for logons. But why should that have anything to do with that? Everything else works as usual...

Maybe your /.mc directory got messed up. If you don't have any special settings in there to save, just delete /.mc and it will get created next time you run it.
It sounds odd, never heard of that problem before. Maybe one of the c libs, which mc depends on got changed or corrupted. Can you compile mc yourself? That would make sure your libs match up.

I saw the same thing on my Vaio with 8.2.

The problem lies in the environment variables set to define the shell prompts - mine looked like this
PS1='[\e]2;\u@\h:$(ppwd)\007\e]1;\h\007]\u@\h:\w> '
which displays fine in Bash, but confuses the hell out of mc ;-)
Edit /etc/bash.bashrc and search for "_t" or, better, override the default in your ~/.bashrc by adding a line like this ..
export PS1='\u@\h:\w> '

BINGO!!! That solved it!!!
Why is the pompt so "confused" in the /etc/bash.bashrc ???? Is there a specific reason to have it that complicated?

It's a funky prompt - it sets your xterm window title to user@host
And maybe some other stuff too, it's been years since I messed with it.
Try "man bash" and search for PS1 or Google for "bash prompt howto"
Cheers,

Here's a diff for /etc/bash.bashrc that should give you the best of both worlds:

mc behaves different depending on the therminal you use to login, and it can learn keyboard setups. I don't remember how these things are saved, though...
