Did you try updating to a more recent nano/ubuntu version?

okainov commented 5 years ago

Yes, rebuilding nano and updating to 2.9.3 helped. But this doesn't change the fact that issue is here :)

SuperSandro2000 commented 5 years ago

Well... I don't think this project can be compatible with all nano versions especially if the syntax changed in a not so recent version. You are free to contribute a PR to fix it.

A fresh install of CentOS 7.6 comes with a certain version of Nano. Your script is pointless if it doesn't work with that. These are widely used OSes. Anyway, thanks.

SuperSandro2000 commented 4 years ago

@pkiula I am pretty sure he uses Ubuntu.

Then update it your old nano or contribute a fix to make the rc files work on old and new nanos. I think if you write such comments it is rather pointless and does not contribute to this project in any way.

BTW I already have seen a lot of Linux machines and not a single one of them used CentOS. Mache it isn't as widely used as you think.
