[opensuse] question on tunderbird/seamonkey mail imap offline mirroring
by Istvan Gabor 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Hello: My IMAP mailbox at my ISP is close to full. I would like to delete most of its content form the IMAP server but keep messages locally. I use seamonkey mail (almost equal to thunderbird if I know correctly) with configured IMAP mailboxes. There is an option for download/synchronize messages for offline use which makes a local copy of the messages. My question is if I use this method, and delete messages on the server afterwards not from seamonkey mail (eg in webmail), will be the local messages deleted after a new connection started from seamonkey mail? In other words is the synchronization bi-directional or uni-directional? If bi-directional, what would be the most effective way to clear the server while keeping local messages with possibly maintaining the original directory tree?

When I opened a ticket in admin(a)opensuse.org (as this is regarding all mailing-lists not only this one, the confirmation mail and the post once you edit it you receive it instantly. But trying to register a new different email from freemail (entirely different name) does not work, the confirmation letter never arrives. So all but admin(a)opensuse.org bounces at freenet. Given the size of that mailer, it would be good to know why. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

As it appears I can still post. I did post to admin@opensuse but still I was curious if anybody else had such a blackout these days. Please reply list and directly otherwise I will receive anything.

[opensuse] How to generate grubx64.efi
by Hans de Faber 01 Feb '16

01 Feb '16

Hello everybody, On my desktopcomputer i have a standalone boot partition a real orphan,no kernel and no operating system looks for it. It is a stable and customized, al my opensuse flavours boots are adressed via this partition no problems at all. But i added win10 and that doesn't work. I have to generate a new grubx64.efi ! Which program or procedure in leap42.1 does the job ? Is there any documentation on generating a uefi environment ?

[opensuse] Failed login prompts on VTs
by Anton Aylward 31 Jan '16

31 Jan '16

The last kernel update seems to have killed of the ability to login at the virtual terminals (that is, all the switches to terminals using Ctl-Alt-Fn no longer produce login prompts). The graphical login still works. Systemd-logind is running but hasn't spawned any login prompts for the tty[1-6] This is Linux Mainbox 4.4.0-2.g368c53d-default #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jan 12 13:39:53 UTC 2016 (368c53d) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux on a 13.1 machine Systemd is Version: 208-35.1 The contents of /etc/syste/d/logind.conf are all default (that is everything is commented out). This is the one thing that makes me wonder. Normally commented out values in config files mean "use the compiled in default". (As documented in http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/logind.conf.html.) Has that changed? I'm aware of 'loginctl' but its use seems obscure. The man page is of no help. I suspect a "loginctl attach seat device" would be useful but I'm far from certain how to specify a new 'seat'. I'm not even sure this is relevant since all I read about it seems to concern a second graphical 'seat'. Yes I have a /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty(a)tty1.service Should there be more? I thought all the getty stuff for the virtual terminals was automatically generated by some process that generates the units, somewhere, somehow. So where have they gone? I find not clues that mean anything to me in the logs. Any suggestions are welcome. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I use since ever that freemail account. It has no particular spamfilter on it. And all my mailing lists run over it. I did not change any setting so: a) somebody did put @opensuse on a blacklist (very improbable as long as the server has not been taken over and sent spam all around. And even if, there mails are regularly addressed as mailing-lists. The only thing could be that the did filter all mailing-lists. But I can savely deny. I am written in at GnuPG list. I receive these mail flawlessly. Also the mail from another mailing list comes in without issues. It seems therefore that or @opensuse is filtered actively or that there has been a problem on the server of @opensuse and my registration got damaged?

And why another provider. If the webinterface shows that I do not have mail, neither POP neither IMAP can be cause of it since I checked via webmail. What I can do, I can ask the provider if they can check if they mistakenly did put them on some filter list. It would help to speak to a responsible to check if he is receiving bounce messages. I can also write in with an email of the very same provider. If that works there is a problem with the original subscription account. I am receiving your mail e.g. on that very account and on my PC without any problem. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] kde-open5 Problem
by SDM 31 Jan '16

31 Jan '16

I use Thunderbird and don't have kmail installed on this TW box, so on Plasma5, f I click on a mailto link in FF, a kmailservice5 launcher button comes up on the panel in the task manager with a spinning animation, and bouncing gear icon which follows the mouse pointer continues forever. kde-open5 and xdg-open appear over and over again as running processes: the threads start, are killed, then start again all in a matter of seconds. This has happened to me before as far back as 13.2. KDE doesn't like it if the default program to open a mailto link in FF is set to a program that doesn't exist as it gets stuck in an infinite loop. Is there a way to stop the kmailservice5 spinning circle and bouncing gear icon without logging out of Plasma 5? I'm going to change the mailto option in the FF options preferences in the meantime. sdm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
