Description of problem: Fedora20, freshly net-install'ed, then did "yum install mc". Issuing mc either from gnome terminal, or from a vt doesn't initialize: it just stays there until I do a Ctrl-C to it. Tried searching fedora forum threads and also redhat bugzilla about it to no avail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -q mc gpm-libs mc-4.8.11-1.fc20.x86_64 gpm-libs-1.20.7-3.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Issue 'mc' from a console 2. 3. Actual results: mc doesn't startup Expected results: mc to startup with its two-pane interface Additional info:
I have same problem, but if I stay 25 seconds, mc start. I think it's also a bug, because when I was with F19 mc start quickly.
chepioq from the fedora forums noticed that mc actually takes _a lot_ of time to startup: I also verified that it almost took one minute to startup. The behavior stays the same if I upgrade to 4.8.12-2 from rawhide, or downgrade to 4.6.2 from fc10/updates, therefore I guess the problem is elsewhere that mc itself.
I find a solution on fedora-forum. I add a line in my /etc/hosts file with my IP adress and my hostname, and now mc start quickly (1 second). If that help you.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
