[opensuse] A troubling behavior of Thunderbird
by Stan Goodman 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

Earlier today I retrieved mail and found about ten incoming messages. I began to answer one of these, which took about a half hour (long thoughtful reply), and then noticed that there was only one remaining message in the inbox -- one that had arrived during the half hour, the others having vanished. While I stared at the screen aghast, the one remaining also evaporated before my eyes -- while my hands were nowhere near mouse or keyboard, so not on my initiative. Since I did not set such a behavior (in the inbox, of all places) that may be the default behavior. A week or so ago, I thought something of the sort had happened, but dismissed the idea as a failure of my own memory, since nobody in his right mind would program such a default. Now I've seen it. TBird is now shut down, until I can find the setting that does it, or permanently, whichever happens first. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kmail migration
by constant＠indo.net.id 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

With the update to 4.7 I was surprised to get a kmail migration. Migration was successful but since then I cannot use kmail anymore.The error message is: KMail encountered a fatal error and will terminate now. The error was: You do not have read/write permission to your inbox folder. This is a nogo ;). No idea where kmail got this info. Looking into the kmail data and inbox does not give an indication about what went amiss. ___________________________________________________________ indomail - Your everyday mail - http://indomail.indo.net.id -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Fwd: Re: [opensuse] Cannot write to Windows partition(s)
by Basil Chupin 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

I am FWD-ing this response because following my installation of KDE4.7 yesterday, Thunderbird (5.0), oSs version, for one but not the only app., is behaving as if it is on some hallucinating 'substance' :'( : any mouse left-clicks (LCs) act as if they are double-clicks and can close down either Fffirefox or TB when I click on the "X" top RH corner, and all keys repeat at random when I type (see the "oSs version" above which I deliberately left unaltered). Oh...I just noticed the "Fffirefox" :-( . I responded to Felix in this forum bbut my response I noticed when to him directly and not to this list - which is why I am FWD-ing this message. Sssorry about this.

I can now write to the partitions. Your explanation gave me the opportunity to (finally :-) ) come to grips with this permission stuff a lot better than I did before. I noted that you are using 4 digits in your masks but fstab is using only 3. In coming to grips with this permissions 'hassle' I read that the 4-digit approach should be used because it leaves the 4th digit undefined and therefore in its default state. Does this mean, if you know that is, that either 1) openSUSE is not following the more prudent method of coding or 2) openSUSE does not recognise/use the 4-digit approach? Thanks again for your help.

[opensuse] SASL authentication on Konversation
by Ricardo Chung 28 Jul '11

28 Jul '11

I am looking some tutorial or info to configure SASL authentication on Konversation irc. Recently I was trying to connect channels #opensuse-xxx irc freenode via 3.5G Modem. This do not let me to connect because it needs a SASL authentication to connect to irc freenode this way. So it looks like I am connecting via some proxy before it goes to freenode servers. I have a registered Nick on Freenode. So I thought this was enough to be authenticated anytime to the freenode servers. The only info I found is related to Tor Proxy. I don't want to be banned from #opensuse-xxxx chanels because this proxy used. Besides, I would like to know if there is a way to hide my IP address without hassle. Some privacy is not a bad idea. So using opensuse cloak (/opensuse/member/name/) is a plus but cannot find the way to make it despite I spent hours googling for it. So any help or guide is really appreciated. -- Ricardo Chung | openSUSE Linux Ambassador openSUSE Member Panama Li-f-e | KDE 4.6.00r6 | GNOME2 | GNOME3 | Nouveau-Mesa3D experimental -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] php problem?
by James Hatridge 27 Jul '11

Hi all, I downloaded some software that uses PHP, HTML, and CSS to do a web page. I installed it and it said all was ok. But when I run it there is no formating at all, everything is in a single column on the left. Any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks!
