ERROR: MFS: couldn't find root path /media/CDROM

What is "MFS"? A program? Is it an editor that you have told
Synchronet can be found on the path /media/CDROM ? That seems like a
very strange place to find an editor.

In the past both nano and vim worked (with restricted options).

Well, is this new (un-named) editor configured the same as those
were?

You'd likely get much better help/answers if you learned to ask
better questions and gave some useful information/context about the
problem...

MFS has something to do with DOS based programs, which the two editors
that worked previoiusly are not. They are linux programs.

That tells me that the editors are not configured as "native programs" in
SCFG. Can you double check that? --

Correct. I had this working, and I think I blew away something; when I had that build fiasco. I've added them back as native apps. I've tried to follow the nano config in the wiki (which I think I used before).

But now I get "aborted" from synchronet I believe, when I try it.

Vim, just hangs (black screen when it tries to start it).

Tim (kk????) had helped in the past with changing sbbs.ini setting; found that email. I may have to go back further and see if I can find more details; of how I got it to work in the echo.

I didn't realize my fiasco had lost these settings. I have a better backup practice in place now, LOL! Learn from our mistakes.

I've added vim and nano as native programs.

I've added them as external programs with name/internal code using the same name as native programs.

Here are the settings for nano
Namenano
Internal CodeNANO
Command Linenano -R -S -c -i -r 75 %f
Multiple CUYes
I/O MethodSocket
Native E/SYes
BBS Drop FTDOOR32.SYS

I selected Nano as default external editor. When it tries to use it.
I get an "Aborted." followed by "Hit any Key"

I tried to use the settings from wiki.


I had both nano/vim working in July of this year; but lost some config
when I did a rebuild of source, and it overwrote files.

Got editors to work.

Confused external programs and Message
Editor definitions in scfg.

Seems I had defined an ARS of UNIX;
which I cannot find a definition for
on my system. So remove that.

Changed I/O from FOSSIL or UART to
Standard.

Is there an method to get a text
capture of SCFG screens; in text vs
screen capture (graphic file) ?

Yes, highlight the rectangle with the mouse (click and drag). The rectangle is copied to the clipboard, like this:

are you talking about just taking screenshots?
it depends on the client you are using.

why not use a screenshot program to do screenshots and save them as png
or whatever.

Sorry, I mispoke. The original question was about capturing text from SCFG:

Is there an method to get a text

The instructions I gave are good when using SCFG.
