Doesn't seem to be anything missing there.
Also, run "rcrpmconfigcheck", which might list if some rpm has a config file that that didn't get installed or something (like your configuration file being replaced by a new one from the rpm).

Additionally, a display belongs to a # display class (which can be ignored in most cases; the control center # does not support this feature at all). # Sections with display-specific settings have the formal syntax # "[X-" host [":" number [ "_" class ]] "-" sub-section "]" # You can use the "*" wildcard for host, number, and class. You may omit # trailing components; they are assumed to be "*" then. # The host part may be a domain specification like ".inf.tu-dresden.de". # It may also be "+", which means non-empty, i.e. remote displays only. # From which section a setting is actually taken is determined by these # rules: # - an exact match takes precedence over a partial match (for the host part), # which in turn takes precedence over a wildcard ("+" taking precedence # over "*") # - precedence decreases from left to right for equally exact matches # Example: display name "myhost:0", class "dpy". # [X-myhost:0_dpy] precedes # [X-myhost:0_*] (same as [X-myhost:0]) precedes # [X-myhost:*_dpy] precedes # [X-myhost:*_*] (same as [X-myhost]) precedes # [X-+:0_dpy] precedes # [X-*:0_dpy] precedes # [X-*:0_*] (same as [X-*:0]) precedes # [X-*:*_*] (same as [X-*]) # These sections do NOT match this display: # [X-hishost], [X-myhost:0_dec], [X-*:1], [X-:*] # If a setting is not found in any matching section, the default is used. # # Every comment applies to the following section or key.

Yes. Sorry about that. I had problems finding documentation for setting up roles in Alpine. Alpine is much better than the old broken Pine but there is still a lack of some information about some aspects of Alpine configuration.
Also, I'm thinking that, either you got alpine from somewhere else, as it doesn't come with the stable opensuse, or you are using factory, which does have alpine 1.10 (alpine-1.10-9)
Alpine compiled from source. It's a long term habit I developed through using the old broken version of Pine with SuSE software. I prefer to compile from source anyway. The maildir patch in the 1.10 version seems to work well.
Are you using factory, ie, opensuse 11.0? That might explain your problems.
No, OpenSuSE 10.3 AMD64 with KDE 3.5. I'd like to use KDE4 but as the Debian developers and users point out it's not quite as finished as some people like to claim.
and check the output (the explanation is in "man rpm"). If an rpm has missing or bad files, reinstall that rpm.
Doesn't seem to be anything missing there.
Dunno then.
Hmmm... ah well.... , maybe I'll have to re-install OpenSuSE 10.3. If this was the 32-bit version I would take a chance on 11.0 RC1 but I've had so many problems trying to get this version of the Gigabyte board to accept any Linux software that I find it's best to stay with 64-bit and struggle along with that. At least the OpenSuSE 64-bit software works (mostly).

Unless you READ the source, checking it for bugs, what does this buy you other than lots of headaches and disk thrashing?
No headaches. No disk thrashing. Works fine for me :)

Well, I don't know about out of date. I've had so many problems with Pine used with Debian, Ubuntu/Kubuntu and SuSE/OpenSuSE and RedHat/Fedora over the years that I find that if I just stick with the source it works for me. Yes, Alpine is much better and not broken. But, at least I get the same result every time I install it.

Funny, I never had problems with suse's pine, and I have been using for years. They add some patches that others don't.

Perhaps: .pinerc: # Path of (local or remote) INBOX, e.g. ={mail.somewhere.edu}inbox # Normal Unix default is the local INBOX (usually /usr/spool/mail/$USER). inbox-path= ... # Location relative to your HOME directory of the directory where your INBOX # for the maildir format is located. Default value is "Maildir". If your # inbox is located at "~/Maildir" you do not need to change this value. # A common value is also ".maildir" maildir-location= But I don't remember how to choose the mail folder. I have /home/user/mbox and the /home/user/Mail directory. Alpine took what Pine used without problems. What I usually do the first time is send myself an email using plain "mail", then read it using "mail". Then, I open Pine for the first time and it picks the same folder without problems. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Yes. Sorry about that. I had problems finding documentation for setting up roles in Alpine. Alpine is much better than the old broken Pine but there is still a lack of some information about some aspects of Alpine configuration.
Now it is correct. I simply imported the pine configuration. I copied ".pinerc" to ".alpinerc", and I start it using "alpine -p .alpinerc", because for some time I was using both (I participated in the beta testing of alpine). I didn't have the problem you describe, but yes, information is not complete.
Also, I'm thinking that, either you got alpine from somewhere else, as it doesn't come with the stable opensuse, or you are using factory, which does have alpine 1.10 (alpine-1.10-9)
Alpine compiled from source. It's a long term habit I developed through using the old broken version of Pine with SuSE software. I prefer to compile from source anyway. The maildir patch in the 1.10 version seems to work well.
Yes, my version is selfcompiled too. I use the allpatches version from E. Chappa, considering that the suse version of Pine is also the one with the (probably) same patches. There is one that allows sorting by thread, with those with recent additions at the bottom (keyboard K-A).
Are you using factory, ie, opensuse 11.0? That might explain your problems.
No, OpenSuSE 10.3 AMD64 with KDE 3.5. I'd like to use KDE4 but as the Debian developers and users point out it's not quite as finished as some people like to claim.
No, it is not really finished. It is much better in the factory version, though.
and check the output (the explanation is in "man rpm"). If an rpm has missing or bad files, reinstall that rpm.
Doesn't seem to be anything missing there.
Dunno then.
Hmmm... ah well.... , maybe I'll have to re-install OpenSuSE 10.3. If this was the 32-bit version I would take a chance on 11.0 RC1 but I've had so many problems trying to get this version of the Gigabyte board to accept any Linux software that I find it's best to stay with 64-bit and struggle along with that. At least the OpenSuSE 64-bit software works (mostly).
Pity, I never like the idea of having to reinstall, but if you don't know what happened... My crystal ball is at a loss. Do you have enabled "questionable" repositories?

Good question, it must be a state secret .-p Try this instead: zypper -v lr it might work. it is the engine behind. Did you try "yast" inside an xterm or text console? It works in ncurses mode.

No devices full. I thought it was apparmor. But, wasn't sure how to stop it working on the OpenSuSE distro.

rcapparmor stop if you type "rc[tab][tab]" you see the entire list of services. A service with no parameters gives help. The usual is stop, start, restart.

Pity. A obscure failure mode of reiser has a similar symptom of not allowing writes, and it is because it needs a "good" fsck. [from the other post]
You didn't change the security settings to "paranoid", perhaps?
No, not unless it changed itself.
It is defined in file "/etc/sysconfig/security", variable: PERMISSION_SECURITY="easy local" The "paranoid" settings gets you mad because nothing works until you allow it explicitly. Even the "secure" mode is problematic. I'm grasping at straws, you see... You could run rpm under control of strace or ltrace, to find out what it doesn't have permission to do. If you don't know how I'll explain in more detail. Ah! We forgot to look at the system logs. Start with /var/log/warn, continue with /var/log/messages.

Well... the only tool left I can think of is strace/ltrace: ltrace -S -n 2 -o rpm.ltrace rpm -i ....

Perhaps /usr/lib64/libidn.so.11 is missing or bad? It is from the rpm "libidn-1.0-11", although I use the 32 bit version. My crystall ball says that you might have got installed a mixture of 32 and 64 bit libraries. I think it must have drunk too much, but who knows :-? You might try running this: rpm -q -a --queryformat "%{INSTALLTIME}\t%{INSTALLTIME:day} \ %{BUILDTIME:day} %-30{NAME}\t%15{VERSION}-%-7{RELEASE}\t%{arch} \ %25{PACKAGER}\n" | sort | cut --fields="2-" | less -S It will list everything you have installed sorted by date; this way you will see what was installed last, ant the %{arch} field will tell you the architecture; although I have never tried on a 64 bit system, so I don't know what you will see. you can use "rpm --querytags | less" to get the list of tokens and add anyone you need to the above command.
