[opensuse] Evolution
by Dave Howorth 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

I recently upgraded a machine that uses Evolution as its mail client from 11.2 to 11.3 (i.e. is now Evo 2.30.1.2). I'd be grateful for any advice about a few points: (1) I've noticed a regression. When you click on a folder, the mail that is currently highlighted is never marked as read until you click onto a different mail and back again. 11.2 didn't behave like that. (2) Also, when I started it, it said something about errors briefly in the status bar but help doesn't tell appear to tell me anything about how to troubleshoot. (3) What determines the font in the message display (3-panel window). It doesn't appear to match my gnome font settings as used by other apps (4) Does anybody know of a good migration guide from evolution to thunderbird? I basically only use the mail component Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Zypper question
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

I am running zypper dup and are happy with the results. I have one problem though. Due to a sometimes very unreliable adsl connection I have some problems. After I have okayed the choices for the update I have to sit before the monitor until the update is ready because regularly I get the information that a certain program can not be retrieved. Read through the zypper information and found nothing which would help me with automatically retry to connect to the respective server to get the data. Found --non-interactive update which promised to ask no questions with the update (same as dup?) but this command just answers to the default which is with zypper dup a for abort. If if would be r for retry I could expect to have my update done irrespectively of the bad connection of my ISP. Would be nice to have a third choice after receiving the amount of updates. For the moment it is only y/n?.Example: 9 packages to upgrade. Overall download size: 15.1 MiB. After the operation, additional 20.0 KiB will be used. Continue? [y/n/?] (y): Something like NIU (non-interactive update) could be a solution. Something to propose in OpenFate if it is not already available in zypper.

Hello, Notepad++ is a brilliant text editor for Windows, is there a version of this program with the same features for Linux? Thanks in advance, Gilles Siche -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] evolution and dovecot
by Carlos E. R. 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I can't convice evolution to read my local email out of dovecot. Thunderbird, Alpine, can read it fine. Evolution just says: Error while scanning folders in "IMAP server localhost". I have no clue what the problem might be. I configure it in "receiving email" with server type "imap", server "localhost", username "cer". I tried security as none, as tls, or as ssl. None works. If I try "check for supported types", all get disabled, except "password". And this does not work. [...] Got it working, using the server name instead of localhost... go figure :-/ Well, my initial question is solved. But I wonder why "localhost" does not work. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Hi all, How can I turn off all forms of numbering and bullets? I really really really hate it when I try to make a numbered list and the !"§$ program takes over my numbering. Thanks!

[opensuse] 11.2 -> 11.3 zypper dup
by Dave Howorth 12 Feb '11

12 Feb '11

I'm thinking about upgrading amachine from 11.2 to 11.3 using zypper dup. It'll be the first time I've attempted an upgrade this way. I've found http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade which seems pretty good. There's one question I have which it doesn't answer directly, which is how to upgrade the restricted multimedia stuff. The wiki page suggests that one would enable both the packman and libdvdcss repositories before running zypper ref & zypper dup (since it suggests enabling third-party repositories) but does that work or is there a better way? Any other hints also gratefully received. Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org
