Replying to iNode:

(~/.mc/history was removed before start mc)

It'a bug of mcconfig module -- it doesn't handle the empty ~/.mc/history file correctly.

The 394_history_file branch is created. Parent branch: master.

History file attached.

Glib Version: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2

comment:12 follow-up: ↓ 13 Changed 15 years ago by iNode

Yes, empty file now handle properly.

It seems to be permission problems in this case: ~/.mc/history file owner isn't actual current user, and mc can't hadnle it correctly. To reproduce that use case just run sudo mc and try
to select group of files, config owner will be changed to root.

content of file actually doesn't matter

Yes. By default, the always_set_home flag is not set and root under sudo has not root's $HOME. IMHO it is wrong. Correct your sudo configuration.

comment:14 Changed 15 years ago by iNode

Ok, that's correct.

But we should show warnings when config format or permissions is invalid.
