Milan, I'm aware of no mc problems in a screen session. Could you please add here some test case that surely hangs in a terminal with ssh connection? The description you presented won't help me much at least to find a reason for that hang. Please give me a hint how to reproduce it in points as suggested by bugzilla. This will help me to find the reason/fix for it. Closing because of invalid bugreport. Please reopen it with proper test case if you need it fixed. Seems to not be related to the screen app. I experienced the problem again
here. After the prevoius experience with the hang I recompiled 4.6.1-3.FC3 in
the RHEL4 environment so be able to check it on the latest version.
Strace output (it does nothing so I breaked strace after some time):
$ strace -p 19513
Process 19513 attached - interrupt to quit
connect(8, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/dev/gpmctl"}, 13 <unfinished ...>
Process 19513 detached
As at the original report, after the gpm restart, the mc continued. The machine
has PS/2 mouse, X on the terminal (no one logged on and a few other users
logged in via ssh [about 10 or 20], all others was able to run mc except me so
it sounds like mc has been blocked by some reason by gdm or so).
Thanks for the investigation, this problem is likely caused by gpm daemon running on your system as mc doesn't access /dev/gpmctl directly but via gpm calls at least. The solution is to reassign this bug to gpm or a workaround is to disable the gpm service at all. Note that the console mouse support in mc works perfectly even without the gpm daemon running. If the workaround here is not sufficient for you, please reassign to gpm. Jindrich |
