MC 33 with Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS - intermittent file not found error on playback
sg27:
I am a rank beginner with Linux but a very long time user of MC on Windows. I installed Ubuntu on an old Dell Inspiron 15 and successfully installed MC 33 for Linux. MC worked fine until I tried to import my library from Windows in order to restore tags and playlists. As I used to do in Windows with new installations, I used find and replace inside the Rename, Move and Copy function to change the file location tag from the music directory on my windows installation to the music directory on the Ubuntu installation. Now, sometimes playback works fine and MC finds the file and other times it does not. I have not been able to discern the difference between the two contexts. Any ideas? When I hover over a song in the Audio view, the file path appears correct. It also appears correct in the Filename field of a song.
On an unrelated but really annoying note, whenever MC 33 opens a window after I have clicked on a menu item, the window is barely visible because it is so small. I can drag the corner of the window so that I can make bigger. Any way to fix this?

Where are the files located? Internal drive? NAS? If it's a separate drive or NAS, how is it mounted? Through fstab?

Known quirk about MC on Linux, no workaround other than resizing when it happens unfortunately.
zybex:
Please paste a sample file path for a file that doesn't work.
If you restored a Windows library backup, you should edit your platform.jmd file and change it to 'Linux' so that MC handles backslashes correctly. Not sure if you also need to replace \ to / on all files.

Steps to reproduce? Doesn't happen for me.
Awesome Donkey:
If you mean the small windows, the easiest way is to use a distro that uses Wayland (it does happen in X11 too apparently, but I imagine it's harder to reproduce). Dialogs like the about dialog, the dialog that pops up when doing a library backup, etc. are usually where I see it the most.
