[announce] VFU ... - Page 2 - maemo.org

This sounds a lot like pre-CSSU Midnight Commander (another console-based file manager) issues people are having. Is CTRL+M working as Enter? CSSU 'fixes' MC bug, but in other apps (Crawl) it is actually causing Enter to not work. Might be similar reason.

Yes, that worked.

I found the corresponding bug report [1] and installed the patched libvte4 package [2] from comment #23. That fixed vfu for me.
Thanks a lot!
On the other hand I never had problems in mc or vim or less as suggested in the bug report. That's strange.

@colin.stephane:
Do you have CSSU installed?

Nice find. Can confirm it fixes vfu and mc (not 100% sure as in mc it happens erraticaly, so might've been lucky), though Crawl is now not working, looks like this fix is in the CSSU. Do you know how to revert? Wonder if greychar fix is hidden somewhere in the bugs.maemo pages too.

If you only want to revert libvte4 this should do the trick since the unpatched version is still in the official repository:

Code:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get install --reinstall libvte4

Thanks. It is sad that now we have two types of packages coming out - CSSU compatible and pre-CSSU...

When closing vfu from tasklauncher/hildon environment the vfu Process doesn't get terminated. You need to close it carefully with esc-> Q quit (to work path).

I closed it with the X button on the right top and 2 hours later my battery was almost empty and saw in top that vfu went cactus. Manually killall vfu afterwards is a nasty workaround IMO.

Great filemanager
