Hi there, I am getting a warning message for the mc s part of the system tools, "Warning: cannot open /usr/lib/mc/extfs.d directory". The display is corrupted, I cannot use a mouse pointer.

I am currently on 8.90.007 on a Pi2

Can you explain exactly what you were trying to do? Including screenshots if possible.

Bully_ASP · December 16, 2018 at 7:28 PM

I am starting mc through ssh, command mc. if I am trying to open a directory with the mouse, mc returns values as e.g.5m or 7m.

The same I am experiencing also

I did not yet try. I could do so and find out. I'll let you know, certainly not anymore today.

Good morning, just moved to 009, the issue remains.

Confirmed: Can you create a "Ticket" Here Tnx

8.2.5 works fine.

Bully_ASP · December 17, 2018 at 6:51 PM

Many thanks for your support. I have just created the ticket, id# 46. Please check if my scribble works for you.

I looked into it and I am able to reproduce, I fixed that it won't throw this error, no idea if it works better or not.

I have just an Generic build ready - anyone can confirm it with generic ?

Bully_ASP · December 19, 2018 at 4:47 PM

Not 100% sure what Generic build means, however I would try. what do I need to do?

**Iridium** · December 19, 2018 at 6:13 PM Official Post

Generic is X86 - Most Intel and AMD.

Bully_ASP · December 19, 2018 at 6:28 PM

Then I cannot help, I am only on Pi2

Is this a common problem in LE9? Let's start a poll:

Terminal program used?
Is there screen distortion with mc?
Does mouse navigation in mc work?
Output of echo $TERM?
LE9 platform and version?

Putty users: please only report if you see no screen distortion or mouse navigation is working.

Code

LibreELEC (official): 8.95.001 (Generic.x86_64)
LibreELEC:~ # echo $TERM
xterm

mouse is not working, not sure they was working anytime in the past (I am using Kitty / putty fork)

Bully_ASP · December 27, 2018 at 7:49 PM

I can't tell at the moment, I changed to 8.95; unfortunately my Putty/ssh does not properly connect, I think libreelec refuses.

The mouse was definivly working in previos versions, i used it quite a lot.

JimmySmith · January 9, 2019 at 5:43 PM

I can confirm this is fixed (mouse works too) with system-tools: version 110
