If I comment field gateway in interfaces file and keep the cable network unpluged, then MC open normally. If I plug the cable and uncomment field gateway, the MC open normally too. }}} Comment 1 by Oswald Buddenhagen at Tue 07 Mar 2006 09:31:47 PM UTC: {{{ i think that's some call to gethostbyname(). if the route is known to be broken, it fails immediately. if the cable is pulled, it has to time out. }}} Comment 2 by Pavel Tsekov at Thu 09 Mar 2006 02:16:01 PM UTC: {{{ I couldn't reproduce on FC3 with latest cvs version. Would you mind providing a strace of MC hanging ? You could do so by issuing the following command: strace -o /tmp/mc.strace /usr/bin/mc Replace /usr/bin/mc with the full path to the mc binary. }}} Comment 3 by Pavel Tsekov at Thu 23 Mar 2006 12:46:35 PM UTC: {{{ Ping ? }}} Comment 4 by Pinter Sandor at Sun 07 Jan 2007 10:59:30 AM UTC: {{{ The mc hangs on startup at line 284 in the attached file from me. Please look more info about this at the comment of that file. Maybe the two situation are from the same problem. Actually I don't know what changed in my system, because I see this problem 2 days ago only. I think I just updated the system with apt-get. Sandor }}} Comment 5 by Pinter Sandor at Sun 07 Jan 2007 11:01:01 AM UTC: {{{ It seems it tries to connect to the router at port 53 several times, which makes the hang. After that when the mc is stared, everything is ok. Sandor }}} Comment 6 by Pavel Tsekov at Sun 07 Jan 2007 11:14:57 AM UTC: {{{ The problem is due to the outdated samba library included with MC. You can find out more here: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/mc/2006-September/msg00047.html We actually don't need info any more since we know what's the cause of the hang - changing the status to None. }}} Comment 7 by Pinter Sandor at Sun 07 Jan 2007 11:31:35 AM UTC: {{{ ohhh.... commenting out the eth0 interface from the smb.conf helps... thank you very much! Sandor }}} Comment 8 by Leonard den Ottolander at Sun 07 Jan 2007 01:48:56 PM UTC: {{{ Should we close this as a duplicate of bug 5142 then? }}} " defect new major future releases mc-vfs 1 no branch
