Re: kmail not reading imap folders
I tried it with Thunderbird, and it works fine, so the problem seems to be with kmail (likely akonadi).I've used kmail and kontact for years and would like to get them working with this account. I have some deadlines at work which will keep me too busy to work on it for a while, though. -Chris On Wed, Apr 1, 2020 at 1:22 AM Gene Heskett wrote: > On Wednesday 01 April 2020 00:39:56 elvis wrote: > > > On 31/3/20 8:16 am, Christopher Judd wrote: > > > Hi, all, > > > > > > I have an email account (through pangia.biz <http://pangia.biz>). > > > When I try to set it up as an IMAP account using kmail, all of the > > > folders show, but the emails only show in a couple of them.

kmail not reading imap folders
Hi, all, I have an email account (through pangia.biz). When I try to set it up as an IMAP account using kmail, all of the folders show, but the emails only show in a couple of them. In particular, the emails in the inbox do not show up. After some google searching, I've tried restarting akonadi, and also tried turning on server-side subscriptions, but nothing seems to work. When I access using a web browser, everything works fine. Any ideas what else I can try to get it working? -Chris

Akonadi problem

Akonadi is not running. This is on an amd64 testing box. When I issue the

plasma not starting
Hi, I'm running testing amd64. After upgrading about a week ago, plasma will not start, I get the error message "Plasma is unable to start as it could not use OpenGL2", or something similar.

Re: KDE locks up periodically
On Thursday, May 22, 2014 05:45:26 PM Gary Dale wrote: I'm running Debian/Jessie on an AMD64 system. The problem I'm having is that every several minutes or so, KDE lock ups. It doesn't totally freeze but applications might get slow or even stop responding entirely for a minute or two. Dolphin is particularly bad. It seems to lock up the longest. However even a game like kreversi doesn't respond for a period. The mouse responds, as does keyboard input in konsole, but sometimes even Kicker (or whatever they're calling the launch bar these days) stops responding. Iceweasel and Icedove also stop responding when the system all but locks. I've checked Top and Iotop but nothing seems to be causing excessive disk or cpu activity. Even virtuoso, which has been implicated in some slowdowns, seems to be behaving itself. Killing it doesn't help. I've been working in Gnome for the last half hour without incident, so It's probably not a hardware or network issue. However, I prefer KDE and would like to get back to it. Any ideas? I don't have any idea what is causing this, but I have KDE setup with six virtual desktops. When an application freezes (Opera or Dolphin, usually), switching desktops and returning generally fixes it. It doesn't happen nearly as often as you describe, however, maybe a few times a day. -Chris Christopher Judd, Ph. D. Research Scientist III Wadsworth Center, NYS Dept. of Health P. O.

Most of them have excellent English language skills, but almost all still make grammatical and/or usage errors. And native speakers are much more likely to be au fait with current usage. With this part I agree. If you want the fine manual to read like the current slang or hip hop song, then a native speaker is far preferable to a learned immigrant. Or, if you want your scholarly work to read like proper and current usage, have an educated native speaker check it over.

But you can delete entire threads (ctrl-del), which clears it up pretty quickly. I do not like filtering out off topic mails, since as you wrote, some off topic threads can contain interesting stuff. So from me the appeal to keep an eye on the amount of off topic stuff to keep that balance intact. Agreed. -Chris | Christopher Judd, Ph.

Re: wine in testing
On Tuesday 27 September 2011 07:46:54 Ralf Mardorf wrote: Hi, why is there wine in stable but not in testing ? Is there some debian way to install wine on testing ? Thanks. Yes, install the version from the stable repository. FWIW, I have wine-unstable, which is more up-to-date, from sid installed on a testing system (amd-64). (aptitude -t unstable install wine-unstable). It seems to run just fine, although I hardly ever use it, mostly to purchase music from iTunes, which I then generally play with amarok. iTunes will also play music, as will jetaudio from Cowon. I use linux apps for almost all of my work needs, so I can't say how well it works for procudtivity apps. -Chris | Christopher Judd, Ph.

googleearth
Hi,
This morning I downloaded and installed google-earth-
stable_current_amd64.deb from the google site. When I run it, a blank screen
appears, which is pretty useless.
I have an nvidia graphics card with nvidia-kernel-173xx and nvidia-
glx-legacy-173xx installed. I also have nvidia-glx-legacy-ia32 installed,
which used to be required for googleearth. The output from strace is shown
below.
Does anyone have an idea as to how I can proceed to resolve this?

If the immigrant speaks an obscure language and the Court can't find an interpreter in a reasonable time, the defendant goes free because of the speedy trial clause of the 6th Amendment. Which would be the same even if we had an official language (which I'm not opposed to). As the Reconquista of Azatlan proceeds apace, I predict that there will be Spanish-language courts in the Southwest by the time my tween children have there children. Several countries have more than one official language. If the US goes that route (assuming that we get even one), people will adapt. -Chris | Christopher Judd, Ph.

Like the other suggestions, you can go with any other media playing software. For iPods, gtkpod works fine. For the iPhone and iPod Touch, however, you may want to check out iFuse (available in Debian). It can transfer all files, including media from and to these devices, but still doesn't work as expected for music and media files since Apple's iTunes signs such files with a secret key... so iFuse uploaded files are not seen as music files on these devices. I use Amarok myself for playing music, although I wasn't aware that it could transfer files to ipods, as I have a Cowon myself. Transferring files is one issue, but he also buys music from the itunes store (often using gift cards from relatives), and I'm not aware of other apps that will do that. Will Amarok play tunes stored in an itunes library? I thought that they were in some proprietary format. Thanks. -Chris | Christopher Judd, Ph.

Re: Trouble with USB printer - solved
Hi, Florian et al., I just found your reply (below) on the mailing list archive; for some reason it was not delivered here. It gave me a good enough clue to fix the problem. The output of ls -l /etc/cups/ppd/ was -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23077 2008-09-09 09:07 Laserjet1600.ppd -rw-r--r-- 1 root lp 68634 2007-06-14 20:26 Phaser6300N.ppd When I chowned the Laserjet ppd root.lp and restarted cups the printer worked again. Thanks! -Chris Did you restart CUPS after the upgrade? Did you try to reinstall the driver for that printer? CUPS copies the relevant PPD file to /etc/cups/ppd/ when a printer is installed; this copy is not automatically upgraded when you get a newer version of that PPD with a newer version of CUPS. Usually it is enough to start your CUPS configuration frontend of choice, select the printer and then choose the same driver again from the menu of options (the model/driver name can change slightly with a CUPS upgrade). After you have done this, check the dates in /etc/cups/ppd/ to make sure the file has really been updated and restart CUPS. If it still does not work after that then you should probably file a bug report. | Christopher Judd, Ph.

Not saying that justifies it's use, just that it explains it... -Dorn Not exactly. In addition to its high density (~3 times that of lead), uranium is autopyrophorric. What that means is that when the shell hits a hard object, it ignites and burns. Good for killing people in tanks, but not for the environment. When a DU shell burns, the uranium oxides formed rapidly undergo gas to particle conversion. About 65 % of the particles formed are less than 5 microns in diameter. Particles in this size range can be transported for thousands of kilometers, and are respirable, depositing in the lung tissue. In addition, they can be resuspended from the ground by wind. The extent to which this occurs depends on the soil type, and is greatest in dry, sandy soils, which unfortunately are the places where most DU has been used. -Chris | Christopher Judd, Ph.

opera and java
Hi, all, I was wondering how to use opera with java. When starting opera with the -debugjava option, I get the following message: opera: [java] There seems to be a preloaded version of Xt. There is a workaround for this problem in the opera startup script. If that workaround fails, opera will most likely crash every time it tries to use Java. The workaround seems to have failed. Java will be disabled. Technical explanation: There is a problem with the order of loading Xt and Java. If Xt is loaded before libawt (part of Java), Java will crash when it tries to access the screen. The workaround is based on using LD_PRELOAD to load libawt.so first. opera: [java] Disabling java due to potential problems. If you know what you are doing, you can set the environment variable OPERA_FORCE_JAVA_ENABLED to '1' to override this. The actual problems should be described above. Is there any way to make opera work properly with java in Debian (sarge)? -Chris | Christopher Judd, Ph.

What do you base this on? In my experience, it's a very small minority who have children for purely selfish reasons. I have found that those who do not want children *and follow through with it* are not selfish at all. They're refreshingly honest. I don't think that selfishness and having or not having children are at all correlated. -Chris | Christopher Judd, Ph.

Upgrading to 2.6
Hello, I've been running a 2.4.18 kernel for quite some time and I decided to try upgrading (running testing). I downloaded the 2.6.4 source from unstable. I built the kernel package with make-kpkg, but when I try to install the .deb I get the following error: gibbs:/usr/src# dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.4_cdj.1.0_i386.deb (Reading database ... 77918 files and directories currently installed.)

xmcd problem
Hi, all, At some point after doing an apt-get dist-upgrade, xmcd stopped working on my system. I get the following messages when I run it in debug mode (whether as root or an ordinary user): ...

[OT] Grace problem
Hi, all, I am using grace 5.1.12, installed from the .deb package. When I import a time series from a csv file, it is imported with insufficient precision for plotting, i.e. the fractional part of the day is truncated to one decimal place. Does anyone know if this a known bug in grace, or can it be fixed via some preference item or compiling from source? -Chris | Christopher Judd, Ph.

Re: Netscape Plugins
OK I am useing Debian and Storm Linux with the standard packages. This is something that I have never gotten to work. I do have the plugger system installed and working right. But I have tried to install Flash and realplayer to no luck. My netscape 'about plugins' screen shows them installed and active but if I go to a site that uses that it tells me that I do not have it loaded. What am I doing wrong? I install them acording to the instructions and since my netscape sees them it whould work I would think. I figure that I am doing something wrong becasue I have never goten these two plugins to work in any Linux version with any version of Netscape. Any ideas? Thanks for any help. Did you delete .netscape/plugin-list after installing the plugins? The next time netscape is started it should recognize the new plugins. -Chris -- | Christopher Judd, Ph.

Re: fvwm window shadows don't move...
Hello: ... On problem, though, is as follows: I'm using fvwm2 as a window manager under XFree86. When I click and hold the left mouse button on a window handle or title bar, and move the mouse the window stays in place, and only the crosshair moves, which makes it hard to determine where the window will actually land. I copied my old fvwm2rc and XF86Config files from my old slackware system, and on that setup, when I moved a window, the border of the window would move around with the crosshair, so I could get a better feel for where the window would land. I use fvwm2 on a (still bo) system at work. If the Xserver (s3virge) is running in 8 bpp the border moves with the cursor; in 16 bpp it doesn't. I haven't had the time to investigate it further. Is this a limitation of the server, or a configuration problem? -Chris -- || | Dr. Christopher D. Judd | | NYS Dept. of Health [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Wadsworth Center - ESP | | P.O.
