dheg Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Nothing happens when I type mc on the putty terminal, I just get a new line. Obviously I did something wrong, but I have no idea what it is. ???
dheg Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 alredy did, twice, still nothing happens and this is weird, I don't receive an error message or anything, just a new line in the prompt

WeeboTech Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 try typing /usr/bin/mc also try ldd /usr/bin/mc The second one will print some information about the binary and shared libraries. Maybe it's running but there is a problem with a missing shared library. What version of unRAID are you running?

What can I do to get the command to work again without typing /usr/bin?
WeeboTech Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 try this logout login again then type /bin/bash pwd echo $PATH whereis mc set -x -v hash mc hash show us the output.

I followed the instructions and when I typed mc it opened midnight commander. Can I assume it will work on next reboot? output is: root@Tower:~# /bin/bash root@Tower:~# echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:./:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin root@Tower:~# whereis mc mc: /usr/bin/mc /etc/mc /usr/bin/X11/mc /usr/libexec/mc /usr/share/mc root@Tower:~# set -x -v root@Tower:~# hash hash + hash hits command 1 /usr/bin/whereis root@Tower:~# mc mc + mc root@Tower:~# exit exit root@Tower:~# hash hash + hash hits command 1 /usr/bin/whereis 1 /usr/bin/mc
WeeboTech Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 I followed the instructions and when I typed mc it opened midnight commander. Can I assume it will work on next reboot? It should, we did not change anything permanently. If it stops running again, do the same commands. It may lead to some synonym or shell script named as mc.

For all we know there could be an out of memory condition and the process got killed. Check your syslog.

If I type '/usr/bin/mc'. It does work. I then typed again: /bin/bash pwd echo $PATH whereis mc set -x -v hash And I get again the 'mc' command to work. I also checked the syslog and can't see any reference to mc being killed. How can I make the changes permanent? syslog-2011-12-11.zip
WeeboTech Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 next time don't run the /bin/bash command. but do repost the output of the rest of the commands. I'm curious of the pwd output. (something that was different then before). also add in the whoami command.

WeeboTech Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 you need to run the hash before and after. for some reason the wrapper is running and perhaps there is an argument after that's causing mc to exit. In your path you have :./: which could be part of the issue.

WeeboTech Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 login and do an ls -l Is there an mc command in the /root directory?
dgaschk Posted December 12, 2011 Posted December 12, 2011 Backup your config directory and reinstall unRAID. If MC works on the basic version replace your config directory and try mc again.

dheg Posted December 12, 2011 Author Posted December 12, 2011 Backup your config directory and reinstall unRAID. If MC works on the basic version replace your config directory and try mc again. Is this the only solution? It took me a while to get unRAID to the state is today, and for a newbie, I think is quite tweaked: I modified the myMain Disk configuration web page to add more info such as manufacturer web site or RMA number I added many custom links in the 'Useful links' tab Install many apps: SQL for XBMC, SNAP, Crashplan, Sab, CP, SB, and finally got them all to work Modify the myMain plugin main page with custom tabs and links The 'go' file is a bit tweaked also ... and some more I don't remember now... to be honest, I'd rather live without Midnight Commander than going throuhg all that process again, especially considering it's likely I have to go through it once unRAID 5 is out.
WeeboTech Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 I'm baffled, but in any case here is another try. I have this command called lw (ls -l like where is) save this command in /root/lw do chmod a+rx /root/lw then do /root/lw mc and see what it turns up. #!/bin/sh IFS=": " for file in $@ do for dir in $PATH do [ -f $dir/$file ] && ls -l $dir/$file done done Example output: root@atlas ~ #/root/lw mc -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 930056 Feb 9 2010 /usr/bin/mc also show us the output for the alias command type in alias
dheg Posted December 17, 2011 Author Posted December 17, 2011 Sorry I didn't reply earlier Weebo, I really appreciate your time helping me, it's just been an hectic week at work I'm baffled, but in any case here is another try. I have this command called lw (ls -l like where is) save this command in /root/lw do chmod a+rx /root/lw I get this: root@Tower:~# chmod a+rx /root/lw chmod: cannot access `/root/lw': No such file or directory root@Tower:~# also show us the output for the alias command type in alias root@Tower:~# alias alias clear='echo -e '\''\0033\0143'\''' alias d='dir' alias dir='/bin/ls $LS_OPTIONS --format=vertical' alias ls='/bin/ls $LS_OPTIONS' alias mc='. /usr/share/mc/bin/mc-wrapper.sh' alias v='vdir' alias vdir='/bin/ls $LS_OPTIONS --format=long' Is the alias mc line right? thanks again for your help!

It is a relative path, not an explicit one. It will ONLY work if you are invoking it in a specific directory where the relative path is correct. I think it expects that you are in the "/" directory since it references a path of "./usr/share/........." You need an explicit path, not a relative one. (and it needs to point to the correct explicit full path to mc-wrapper.sh)
