Hi Frank, looks ok here with MC on debian/stable. > Upon further investigation, the problem seems restricted to PDF > files. MC will open ZIP and DEB files. If I run MC in an xterm I see this:

Please check also permissions of any MC-related files in your /home/. In the past I once ran into a problem, when starting MC as root after a "su -". Then the MC-file in my /home became root permissions and could not br read as normal user again. Just an idea..... And you can also try, to purge MC and reinstall (aptitude purge mc && aptitude install mc). If done so, please recheck, if the issue is still there. Hope this helps. Best Hans
