Yup... |

I had the same MC issue after upgrading to the 2006.1 levels. It's a very |
| 19 |
basic language issue. I'm not sure if it's gcc, glibc or perhaps an xorg |
| 20 |
module... |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Prior to this upgrade, I never gave language setting a second thought... but |
| 23 |
once mc began acting up, I started digging around with google and this is |
| 24 |
what I cobbled up. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
In "/etc/env.d/02locale " I have set: LC_ALL="en_US.ISO-8859-1" |
| 27 |
In "/etc/rc.conf" I set "UNICODE=no" |
| 28 |
In "/etc/conf.d/consolefont" I have set: CONSOLETRANSLATION=8859-1_to_UNI" |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
That last line makes no since to me, but it seems to be required for MC. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Last but least run env-update, source /etc/profile and check /etc/profile.env |
| 33 |
has LC_ALL set to "en_US.ISO-8859-1". It may take a reboot, but once I had |
| 34 |
made the change, midnight commander began drawing lines again. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
The only other problems I ever had with MC is, if I leave mc running for any |
| 37 |
length of time, it begins to take more and more cpu resource... Top will show |
| 38 |
like 80% useage. Once I kill off mc, everything is back to normal. Anyone |
| 39 |
have a tip for that one? |
