Hi List, ... I finally installed SUSE 10.1 on my old and trusty laptop. Everything works great except four little things: 1. The settings for the launch feedback delay have vanished. It works fine but I can't adjust it anymore because there simply is no way to adjust it anymore after I initially adjusted it once. 2. Is there a way to clone my complete KDE settings to a newly created user? Will copying the ~/.kde directory to the new user's home directory work? 3. I use Gaim for Google Talk. When I log into KDE, it always pops up its buddy list window. It works like a charm but is there a way to prevent it from popping up the buddy list window? 4. I installed Thunderbird and it works fine so far. I installed the English SUSE version because I don't like localized operating systems. Same goes for Thunderbird. My mother tongue is German so I tried to additionally install the German language pack for spell checking in Thunderbird because I also write German mails for obvious reasons. The installation went fine and it didn't spit out any error message. But the spell checking preferences do not show the German dictionary and it hence does not do German spell checking. What went wrong? I'm not new to Linux (been there since Slackware 0.99.15 and later went to SUSE 4.3 and from there onwards always with SUSE), KDE and especially SUSE but these things are just beyond me. My installation is 10.1 on an Acer Travelmate 621 LV with all current updates including zen, rug and that stuff. I even made the hotkeys work with acerhk and a little self written shell script and made the screen resolution go to 1400x1050 using the XiG X-server. But the above things remain a mystery to me. Oh, before I forget: Up to and including SUSE 10.0 YOU showed a variety of update sites. Now there's only the installation DVD and the location ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/update/10.1/. Since this can possibly be slow at times or unavailable, are there any mirror sites I can add to the list? Also, sorry, that's more than four questions. ;-) I'd very much appreciate help from you folks. Thanks very much in advance. :-) -- cul8er Paul paul.foerster@gmx.net

Hi Randall,

Nevertheless, I'd be happy if you could tell me what KMail has to offer that Thunderbird does not, other than that it mimics Outlook way better than Thunderbird. But since I hate Outlook, the choice is obvious for me. Also, I don't like it when applications start to integrate into each other too much like KMail does in Kontact. This creates a lot of security and stability issues which M$ has demonstrated to suffer from way too often. So, what is it that makes you love KMail and hate Thunderbird? Thunderbird does exactly what it's supposed to do, beside the little bugs it has. But KMail also has bugs, so that's not an issue to discuss. I guess the rest is kinda religious and thus academic, unless of course you can tell (and convince!) me what is so great about KMail compared to Thunderbird. Until then, I stick with Thunderbird and the spell checker bug. -- cul8er Paul paul.foerster@gmx.net

Thunderbird. But since I hate Outlook, the choice is obvious for me.
Ah, good. KMail in no way "mimics" Outlook or Outlook Express.
Also, I don't like it when applications start to integrate into each other too much like KMail does in Kontact. This creates a lot of security and stability issues which M$ has demonstrated to suffer from way too often. So, what is it that makes you love KMail and hate Thunderbird?
I don't use Kontact or any of the other KDE PIM suite. Integration is not a bad thing and does not in and of itself cause security or stability issues. When it makes sense for the applciations in questino, integration is a good thing. Microsoft has demonstrated only that if you don't design for security, you don't get security nor can you treat security as something that can be retrofitted. KMail has superior filtering and mailing list management, offers the choice of maildir or mbox format mail storage. It shares with most KDE applications a great degree of user interface customizability. It's message searching is much more sophisticated than Thunderbird's. You can readily choose fixed-width or propotional font, both when viewing and composing mail. When composing, you can choose in the message composition editor whether or not to line-wrap the outgoing message (and you see the result of the wrapping, when enabled). KMail can optionally use the Subject header as an auxiliary threading criteria when the In-Reply-To header is missing (as it is when you correspond with one or more users of Outlook or Outlook Express). You are not imposed upon with a spell check dialog, you simply see spelling errors in red while composing. You have the option of being reminded if you use certain words ("attach", "attached" or "attachment") but don't attach anything. I tend to think of this in the "busybody-ware" category, but in this case it has proved much more useful than annoying (this mesasge, for the obviosu reason, is one of the few false positive hits for this feature). There's much more refined control over how much of a message's headers you're shown. Not only are its built-in filtering capabilities extensive (including regular expression pattern matching, if you require it), it can subject messages to processing by external programs (typically scripts written in shell or Perl). It can rewrite, remove and add headers, which I have found handy in a manually applied filter to "un-hijack" a thread and to remove those obnoxious [list-name] tags injected by lame mailing lists into the subject fields of messages they distribute. Another manual filter I use is one that strips spam headers when they reflect a false positive. You elect on a mailbox-by-mailbox basis whether to interpret HTML automatically and separately whether to automatically retrieve external resources (usually images). KMail makes it easy to selectively (interactively, on a message-by-message basis) interpret HTML and, separately, load external resources when the mailbox in which they reside does not have those options on. The message composition editor handles quoting much better than Thunderbird's does. The automatic address completion is much smoother and less instrusive than Thunderbird's. The space-cleaning works better, too.
Thunderbird does exactly what it's supposed to do,
I suppose, if what it's supposed to do is rather minimal.

Hi Randall,
Thunderbird does exactly what it's supposed to do, I suppose, if what it's supposed to do is rather minimal.
... well, first, thanks for giving the long list of features. I admit I didn't try KMail out for a few years. Back then it hat the very basic problem that it tended to lose all stored mails now and then. I assume this problem has been addressed quite some time ago already but that was definitely the reason not to use it back then. Also yes, I have a rather limited need on what to do with a mail tool. Sending and receiving mails is what I need. I started with Netscape as my browser in the early years. Then, after Mozilla showed up, I switched to the Mozilla suite, ie. browser, mail and news in one program. Then, after Mozilla split into Firefox and Thunderbird, I only used Firefox, bought a Mac and used Apple Mail there. I still have my Mac, love it and use it as my main computer. Installing 10.1 finally on my old trusty Acer laptop brought me back to Firefox and (because I already knew it) Thunderbird. I like this program. As I said, it does what it's supposed to do for me. I have very basic requirements and Thunderbird meets them and offers a lot of features I never use. I could in fact happily do with pine. But in times of graphical user interfaces I also allow myself the luxury of a GUI mail tool, so there. ;-) I'm impressed how Kmail seems to have grown during recent years but I don't need all these features. Thanks very uch for the eloquent description anyway. :-) -- cul8er Paul paul.foerster@gmx.net

That's why I don't use KMail at work. I have KDE on my desktop there, but it's old (on a RHEL3 system) and KMail has progressed a great deal in the past few years.

As I said, I didn't check it out for a long time now as Mozilla Mail and Thunderbird always did what I needed them to do. But thanks very much for this information. The next time I will do a new full install I definitely give it a try. I admit I'm too lazy to migrate my address books and email to it now. But again, thanks very much for the information. :-) -- cul8er Paul paul.foerster@gmx.net

Don't know. Maybe you have gaim in the KDE autostart folder and it also s launched in another way. That causes behaviour like this.

Maybe it can work automatically. My experience is that mozilla and thunderbird look at the 'myspell' files in the 'components' directory. I cannot find an rpm for Thunderbird that will do this automatically with suse (there should be international files). Youan do it the all manual way: - You will have to install he proper myspell files (for the german language). - This will put the .aff and .dic files in /usr/share/myspell - Make a symbolic link from this files to (for thunderbird) /usr/lib/thunderbird/components/myspell (don'tknow why it is here. For mozilla it was always in /opt/mozilla/lib/components/myspell) - If you change the '_' in the symbolic link names to '-' (as in de-DE.aff) the name shows nicer when choosing a language. - Restart thunderbird - et voila btw: i like mozilla/thunderbird too.

Don't know. Maybe you have gaim in the KDE autostart folder and it also s launched in another way. That causes behaviour like this.
... no, I don't have it in the Autostart folder. I found some settings for advanced window configuration: KDE -> Settings -> Desktop -> Windows -> Specific Settings There one can define the window behavior for specific applications. I tried that and it works when Gaim is started from command line, but not with it's autostart function. I'll try disabling that, putting Gaim into the Autostart folder and use that feature then. Maybe this works.

Sharing thunderbird is actually very simple. The basic thing you need to have is a profile where you can read/write to. A fat32 partition is the common denominator. And it should be mounted. For thunderbird: - Create/have a profile for windows with all email-adresses defined. - Create/have a profile in linux with all email adresses defined (If you have one of those you can also copy_chown it for other users) - In Linux go to thunderbirds Account Settings (for each address) -> Server settings Change the local directory to point from ~/.thunderbird to the proper folder in windows. So for me to: /windows/D/mozilla/peter/thunderbird/Mail/pop.xs4all.nl - I normally create a sepaate folder per email address, so i also have to change the local folder for the Account Settings-> 'Local Folders' So for me to: /windows/D/mozilla/peter/thunderbird/Mail/Local Folders - The i create a symbolic link for two files in linux to windows. i.e. for: * abook.mab (to share my address book) * training.dat (to share my spam training) I got the basic idea a long time ago from this website http://www.mozhilfe.de/mozfaq_profil_winlinux.php

... it's a commercial X server for special graphics chips. I have an Acer Travelmate 621 LV laptop which is a few years old but works like on day one. It has a 1400x1050 15" display and an i830 graphics chip. I can go to 1280x1024 with all Linux servers (Xf86, Xorg) but that leaves a finger thick black frame around the screen. That's not what I bought it for. As with all laptops, the highest possible video mode is not supported by the BIOS, ie. there's no VESA mode for it. I bought the Platinum edition for $130. They also have a Bronce and Gold edition. I think the Bronce edition starts at $80 or so, I'm not sure. I bought it a few years back and it has been working like a champ on every SUSE there was since 8.1 or so. It's installed in 10 minutes and the unregistered version works for some 20 or 25 minutes or so and then terminates. After that you can start it again for that period and so on. During that time it has no limits. Note that it's for a number of graphic chips, especially on laptops that are either not well supported or the laptop manufacturers refuse to publish the specs and so on (no Nvidia, tho!). If you're interested, then take a look at their website: http://www.xig.com Investing the $130 for the Platinum edition definitely has payed off for me. It has survived SUSE Linux versions 8.0 or 8.1 (I don't recall exactly which of the two) to the current 10.1. -- cul8er Paul paul.foerster@gmx.net

ext3? might be ext2 only [with stable release - if possible] But, FAT is a safe & harmless choice, natively supported in both OS. I use XP * Suse10.1 with Thunderbird 1.5 release in XP and Suse. I have to use a dual boot Laptop, so I am using in this style for last 2 years without any email problem - till now. FAT is safe, for XP - it is a safe and stable option, but one has to ensure safe shutdown and good power management - which is not a big problem now a days. Thanks and regards, Saugata.

Hi Saugata, I am changing here the subject a bit, but I am also running Thunderbird on a dual boot laptop. I was wondering whether you have a sound notification running on both boots when you get a new email? I am having trouble getting that to go under Suse. I have set the sound to system sound, but somehow don't get any sound from KDE? Not sure whether I have to add some sound settings in KDE? Thanks for any help. Guenter

Turns out that I'm not getting the notification sound as well (in 10.1). Was getting it in 9.3, though. If arts was suspended, then the answer lies elsewhere. Don't know offhand what it might be. Regards, Aveek Bhattacharya

might be a stupid idea!! ......... check the volume - keep it high .. might be able to hear the short beep sound .. :-) I am using 10.1 with 1.5 thunderbird, never thought of sound notification!! - as you have mentioned ... found .. it works for me.
