nplatis Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Hi all, I am using Mandrake 10.1 Community updated to Official. In previous versions of Mandrake I was able to view the files inside RPMs with mc, by simply hitting Enter when an RPM was selected; the file was opened like a directory and I could view, copy, etc the files within. With this version of Mandrake, this is not possible. I can only View the file with F3, which shows me its contents, but I cannot work with the files. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Crashdamage Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Check the permissions on the rpm and contents. You probably need to be root to modify them. Doubtful there's anything wrong with your Mandrake install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thac Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 there is nothing wrong with the file rights. I have made a patched version of mc that fixes this its available at http://rpm.nyvalls.se/10.1/RPMS/ /Torbjörn Turpeinen (Thac) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crashdamage Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Weird. Almost amazing. I've never had this problem. It must be because I didn't install the mc.rpm included with 10.1. I installed a 'generic' mc-4.6.rpm I got somewhere and have used for years 'cause it works with transparency. I've never had a problem with it.
