| Quote (caulktel @ Nov. 04 2004,10:28) | Hi,
I made the above changes, it works great! However, even before I made these changes, I was only able to use Midnight Commander as root. If I open it up under the user account it says:
Hotlist Load
was unable to write ~/.mc/hotlist file, your old hotlist entries were not deleted.
So I deleted the .mc/hotlist file all together, and I still get the same error, but it works fine from root. Any Ideas? |
If you launched mc as root from the menu, what version of DSL are you using? This was a menu bug which was fixed in version 0.8.0 (or maybe 0.7.3?).
If you launch mc from console using "sudo mc" before running it as a regular user, your configs are created with root ownership and can not be viewed/modified as regular user.
You can avoid this trouble in three ways:
1) Don't launch mc from console with "sudo mc" until after mc has been run once as normal user.
2) Use the fluxbox menu to launch mc (DSL 0.8.0+).
3) From console, use "sudo su - -c mc" to start mc as root instead of just "sudo mc". This creates the root mc configs in /root instead of /home/dsl.
