Screen and mocp

niller · 2008-03-10 19:06:39

Hi all,

I'm running screen, and when I try to run mocp I get this error:

FATAL_ERROR: Can't open theme file: No such file or directory

What is wrong here ??

I have this in my .screenrc, and screen 5 (with mocp) doesn't show ??

screen -t Shell0  0
screen -t ROOT    1 su -
screen -t Mutt  2 mutt
screen -t Vim  3 vim
screen -t MC  4 mc
screen -t Mocp  5 mocp
screen -t Shell6  6

# bind F12 to Screen's quit command
bindkey -k F2 quit

When I open i normal terminal there is no problems.

Any hints are appreciated !

are you using a moc theme? try running without it.

niller · 2008-03-10 20:11:41

I've tried with the example_theme (can't recall which is the default) and that doesn't work either

I've commented out the theme entry in .moc/config but I still can't open mocp in screen !!

Maybe it's a PATH thing I'm not sure.

Any hints are appreciated.

Com'on guys !!

Am I the only one who have experienced this ??

zodmaner · 2008-03-11 08:31:28

I have run moc in screen without any problem.

Could you post your moc config file so we can take a look at it?

# Main window layoutis can be configured. You can change the position and the

#
# The format is as folows:
# Each menu is described in format NAME:POSITION_X,POSITION_Y,WIDTH,HEIGHT
# NAME is directory or playlist
# Other parameters define position and size of the menu. They can be absolute
# numbers (like 10) or a percent value of the screen size (like 45%).
# WIDTH and HEIGHT can have value of FILL which means fill the screen from
# the menu's position to the border.
# Separate menu descriptions using a space.
# Menus may overlap.
# You must describe at least one menu (default is to fill the whole window).
# There must be at least one layout (Layout1) defined. Other can be empty ("").
#
# Examples:
#
# Just one layout, the directory will occupy the whole screen, the playlist
# will have 1/4 of the screen size and be positioned at lower right corner.
# Layout1 = "playlist:50%,50%,50%,50%"

# menu at the bottom. Playlist will occupy 10 lines and the directory menu
# the rest.

# %t - title
# %a - album
# %r - artist

# %m - time of the file (in seconds)
#
# Parameters above applys to the currently selected file. If you change them to
# capital letters, they are taken from the currently played file.
#
# Programms are run using execv(), not a shell, so you can't do things like
# redirecting the output to a file. The command string is split using blank
# characters as separators, the first element is the command to be executed
# and the rest are parameters, so if you use "echo Playing: %i" we run program
# echo (from $PATH) with 2 parameters: 'Playing:' string and the title. Even
# if the title contains spaces it's still one parameter and it's safe if it
# contains `rm -rf /`.
#
# Examples:
# ExecCommand1        = "cp %f /mnt/usb_drive"
# ExecCommand2        = "/home/joe/now_playing %i"

# Display the cursor in the line with the selected file. This can be usefu with
# a braille display.

# Set the terminal title when running under xterm.
#SetXtermTitle        = yes

# Display full paths instead of just file names in the playlist.
#PlaylistFullPaths    = yes

By the way, I had to remove the comment in the theme section in order to play it in a normal terminal (which is urxvt).
Otherwise I got exactly the same error !?

Thanks for answering

I see from your config file that you haven't had any theme selected. Copy one of the theme file from /usr/share/moc/themes to your ~/.moc/themes folder (create the folder if you don't have one already) and try again.

Oh, and don't forget to edit your config file to point to the theme. For example:

# Theme file. This can be absolute path or relative to
# /usr/share/moc/themes/ (depends on installation prefix) or ~/.moc/themes/
Theme            = ~/.moc/themes/green_theme

should do the trick.

Also, try comment out this section:

# The theme used when running on on xterm
XTermTheme        = darkdot_theme

Hope this help.

I still got the same error:

FATAL_ERROR: Can't open theme file: No such file or directory

And when I'm running mocp in urxvt, it's working fine, but still not in Screen

and if I comment out the XTermTheme line it wont work in urxvt !

I have this now in my .moc/config

# Theme file. This can be absolute path or relative to
# /usr/share/moc/themes/ (depends on installation prefix) or ~/.moc/themes/
Theme                   = ~/.moc/themes/darkdot_theme

# The theme used when running on on xterm
XTermTheme              = darkdot_theme

# MOC directory - where pid file, socket, and state files are stored.
# You can use ~ at the begining
 MOCDir         = ~/.moc

But still no can do !!!

I don't know what's wrong with your setup. But my moc is working under screen just fine. I have installed the moc-devel package from AUR.
