Today I encountered a strange problem with Midnight Commander 4.6.2 in Ubuntu. I wanted to change the default Ubuntu setting to use the internal edit. I actually like the mc internal editor and I want to use it. The problem was that the setting was not saved when I chosed “Save setup” even if a message “Setup saved to ~/.mc/ini” appeared. There was no ~/.mc folder. After I did
mkdir ~/.mc
everything worked as expected.
This seems to be a bug in mc.

Here is a picture of the internal board of my newly aquired Emtec S800 PVR. It works on Linux but Emtec was not so kind to provide the sources of the PVR application (there are some sources of an alternative OEM – Ellion available on the net). I needed to open the box to put a resistor at the internal fan because it was too noisy.
