mc looks like crud in command line no ascii art and
Sorry I was trying to copy a CL view of what it looks like and it subbmited the report. The operation is fine but in following directories and doing things like "F3" a bunch of artifacts, alp[ha numeric, are strung all over a the screen and it becomes quit confusing. This has actually been the case since January or Febuary. I have rebuilt it useing -X and it still looks like crap :( emerge info Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.3.5-20050130, glibc-2.3.5-r1, 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.5 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe " CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe " DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig buildpkg distlocks sandbox sfperms strict userpriv" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo ftp://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j5 " PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/include/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X alsa apache2 async avi berkdb bitmap-fonts chroot cpdflib crypt cups dba dillo divx4linux doc eds emboss encode esd fam fbdev foomaticdb fpx freetype gd gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imagemagick imlib ipv6 javascript jpeg kde libwww live lynxkeymap lzw lzw-tiff mad mikmod mmx mmx2 motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mpeg4 ncurses network nptl nptlonly ogg oggvorbis opengl openssh oss pam pdflib perl php player png ppds python qt quicktime readline real rtc ruby sdl slang spell sse ssl tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1 type1-fonts unicode vim vorbis xml2 xmms xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
Does Bug 98804 describe your problem? Otherwise, you can use media-gfx/fbgrab to make a screenshot from console.
Ok this is the same prob as his. But its an ncurces problem. I just did a kernel config on CL and it has the same problem. I'll try the fraame grab.
Please, also post your locale settings and consolefont settings. It works fine here (mc-4.6.0-r14, ncurses-5.4-r6).
Reopened when ready.
This was actually a ncurses problem when unicode was selected in /etc/rc.conf. media-gfx/fbgrab woulnt work at my screen bit depth. It needed 24 or 32 and myconsul was 16 bit ;) In short close this sucker
