RE: A current post on CNET gives SM as one of the best 5 applications to
 install with your new Windows 7 computer.

 Way to go, team. 
 
Then the SM 2.01 had better be forthcoming so that the oversights and initial 
2.0 problems seen across the three or four main OS versions can be 
addressed...and that includes the SM 2 browser/engine implementation, the Email 
unit AND the Composer.
 
BEFORE the CNET news -- which is excellent overall, VERY positive -- has been 
by a great many more that will beat a path to SM 2.'s door.
 
CNET isn't the only newsworthy group looking at SM -- that I know, and we as a 
group, for an accurate fact.
 
SM 2 is a darn good idea, manifested in many ways that even its Firefox 3.5x 
and 3.6, AND its Thunderbird 3, brethren will like to see how those two 
products could be better interrelated and made more useful.
 
 
Two Doses of Realism...
 
As we can see, the basic SM 2 isn't bad at all, but getting realistic shows us 
that there's too many oversights, and previously-made-final SM 2 decisions that 
need to be tuned and rectified...
 
...and making users and those potential CNET and other users wait until SM 2.1 
or later simply should not have to wait, even if it means two or more advancing 
changes and improvements / fixes like SM 2.01a and 2.01b, etc.
 
Another dose of realism shows that the small (very) group of SM 2 specialists 
programmers DO need assistance from their current and sheer expanding user 
group, be we neophytes or seasoned engineering / tech types. Neither they nor 
we can do it all on ones own.

You mean that I can't even opt out the Chat? I understand the composer

other things) should be optional?


I want a suite, with browser and mail/news integrated. So I can't use 
Firefox. But because of that, why would am I forced to also download

What I do need apart from mail/news, I can find as addons/extensions.

That i don't want. It's nice to be able to run the prior version. You
can even run both simultaneously using the parameter -no-remote.

 and overriding the desktop icons, as in prior upgrades.

I don't have a desktop *g*.

But here i agree. There should be the old ones for SM 1.1.18 and also
new ones for SN 2.0. Or, the icons should now point to SM 2.

 It did not do so, thereby causing a conflict with incoming mails
 which arrived in version 2.0 on the first session right after 
 installation, then yo version 1.1.18 on the next and subsequent
 openings of SeaMonkey Mail, leaving me with mails to be transferred
 over.

If you alternate between SM 1.1.18 and SM 2, this behavior is expected
if you use POP3. Once one of them has fetched the mails, then well,
there are no mails left for the other one. ;)

You can prevent that by checking the box 'Leave messages on server' for
one of the SMs.

 I have not yet fully recovered from this unwarranted problem which
 an instruction/warning during the installation and/or during
 import phase of the installation 2.0 would have prevented, and so
 would have new icons on the desktop.

I don't understand fully. Will sometimes start SM1 when clicking on the
icans and sometimes SM2? Could it be, that there are remains of SM 1,
perhaps for autostart or quicklaunch?

But that's only a guess because i know nothing about a modern Windows.
But, if an instance of SM 1 is already running when you attempt to open
SM 2, then SM 1 will launch instead of SM 2.

 I have one other smaller, but significant problem. While I have not had 
 much time yet to investigate what has changed besides that some add-ons 
 no longer work and the look of the icons and smileys is different (the 
 new smileys are awful!),

Ha! That i feel also and therefore there are still the old icons on my
SM 2. Maybe the only SM 2 with the old icons all of the world. *g*

 I did notice right away that the mails status bar no longer shows
 that the program is downloading incoming mails. Can anyone tell me
 whether that feature will be brought back?

Haven't noticed that, perhaps because i'm using fetchmail.

 I have had a host of additional problems with SeaMonkey version 2.0 
 since this original post (which remains unanswered),

Well, i don't always read this NG. an i'm writing reluctantly because of
bad writing skills in English.

 Regretfully, I had no choice but to return to version 1.1.18 before

Using nightlies of current SM 2.1 is far more interesting. ;)

No, it isn't going to get fixed.

The big problem here is that you seem to have jumped into this without 
understanding just how big a jump this is. It's not ike the changr from 
say 1.0 to 1.1.  In essence SeaMonkey 2.0 is a new application entirely. 
That makes it a big transition from 1.1.18, for which you do seem to be 
prepared.


Its not going to be made any easier.  I see three choices for you.

1) Remain with 1.1.18 which is a dead end, it will not be updated.

2)Make the jump to 2.0.

3) Transition to Firefox.

Since you seem interested in the browser only, the 3rd choice may well 
be the best option in your case.  Good luck!

You  remember several years ago there was big fuss over this. It was 
decided the extra two or three lines of code to keep grippies was deemed 
as a unnecessary waste of code space. Yet the were theme designers such 
as the fellow that designed SkyPilot Classic (Sailfish)that came out 
with a dozen or more themes for, SM, ThunderBird that had the Grippies 
included. Didn't seem to be  much of a burden for him.


Yet for the Mozilla Team designers it seemed to be. Chance are they 
didn't even try it to see what it was used for had they they would have 
taken the extra 10 minutes to leave it in.

Yes you do the screen you see when you open your computer after it boots

Even then, without a desktop system like KDE, Gnome or XFCE there is no

 if they go bare - naked (no GUI) they use the same old command line

The console is the default what i see after booting. Normally i would

I know about this because I worked as Electronics Tech for school system

You are using Raw Unix which looks and , you have to type commands

I can think of one possibility: Perhaps you or someone else changed your 
monitor resolution?

I currently use 1024 X 768 (stretched).

If I go to the finder's window menu bar and select the monitor image icon, 
then pick the next larger pixel size, 800 X 600 (stretched), I find nearly all 
the displays exceed the screen size. Changing to a numerically larger number

No, it isn't going to get fixed.

The big problem here is that you seem to have jumped into this without 
understanding just how big a jump this is. It's not ike the changr 
from say 1.0 to 1.1.  In essence SeaMonkey 2.0 is a new application 
entirely. That makes it a big transition from 1.1.18, for which you do 
seem to be prepared.


Its not going to be made any easier.  I see three choices for you.

1) Remain with 1.1.18 which is a dead end, it will not be updated.

2)Make the jump to 2.0.

3) Transition to Firefox.

Since you seem interested in the browser only, the 3rd choice may well 
be the best option in your case.  Good luck!



I hope for your system that you uninstalled it and not as you said 
deleted it leaving all setting in your registry and files spread out 
all over your hard drive.

It works, but it interferes with QuoteColors and when you use
_underline_ it doesn't work. The Author of Quote Colors found
the bugs by loading the Mac version of SkyPilot and it reacted
the same way.

I am using the Venerable Theme now Just to see if the underline
works.


Yeah!!! Underline works and Quote Colors. I'd like a different
color (Grey or even yellow) But I can live with it.



I'm running Venerable Modern (thanks Sailfish) and its real nice.
LCARStrek also works, and I like it too.

Sorry about Sky Pilot.

I had an email into him to fix the problem. But It appears _there is_

I don't whether he is too _busy_ with his day job, sick, or just got tired

I am fixing some mistakes that got by I'll just correct them there.

Yes you do the screen you see when you open your computer after it boots
up is called the desktop on Macintosh computers. Other computer users,
using Windows Machines may also call it the Desktop as well. Unix and
Linux don't have this unless they have some type of GUI installed.


Even then, without a desktop system like KDE, Gnome or XFCE there is no
desktop. Sure, there is a background, but it is impossible to e.g. put
icons on it. But i'm happy with my icewm.


if they go bare - naked (no GUI) they use the same old command line
system That Widows machines used back in DOS 3.1 days.


The console is the default what i see after booting. Normally i would
then start X with, surprisingly, startx. *g*


I know about this because I worked as Electronics Tech for school system
back during them days. And when you boot a Mac into single user mode.
You are using Raw Unix which looks and , you have to type commands
almost identically the same way.


I don't know anything about a Mac. I had set my old Win98SE to boot into
pure DOS from which i could call Windows with the command win.

Hartmut

Technically  Mac has a three layer OS.

You have the Mach Kernel that at the very Core.
Then you have UNIX on top as of OSX.4.11 it was FreeBSD.
The the Mac GUI sitting on top as per references Its like KDE is for UNIX.

When we boot a Mac the screen you see is called the desktop it allows 
for icons on it. Just like windows for PC. I had on OSX.3.9 X11 
installed and then used an article in Mac World to install KDE I didn't 
repeat on my current installs as the only thing I could get working was 
Konqueror. Which Safari is based on.

Have you ever wanted to mark a group of post read, see subjects you not

I think the delay is in proportion to how many posts are in the

I have since confirmed this by unsubscribing to all my groups and then
resubscribing. However this time I told it only grab the last 500
headers (instead of all 6 in one case) and now SeaMonkey opens the
server and checks for new messages in just a couple of seconds. So
version 2.0 is doing a lousy job at finding new messages for newsgroups
with a large message base whereas previous versions did not have this
problem.


If I read you right, you /chose/ to download only the most recent 500 
headers, and not the full set. It seems unreasonable to complain that 
SeaMonkey didn't do something you told it not to do.


Or are you saying that it no longer offers the option of downloading the 
full set?


If you want the full set, I would think you could close SM, delete the 
corresponding MSF file, and restart and it would offer the option of 
downloading the full set, unless that option has been removed.


On my computer (still using version 1), the index file for this 
newsgroup is located at

C:\Documents and Settings\My Username\Application Data\
Mozilla\Profiles\Profilename\.slt\News\
news.mozilla.org\mozilla.support.seamonkey.msf

I would think index files for other newsgroups would be easy to find

Does this Add-On Manager only occur in 2.0? I don't see it in 1.1.18.

Thanks, keith


Indeed, it is the single most important addition to SM 2.0.  NOw it is 
simple to install, remove, and manage extensions and themes, a constant 
battle in the older versions.  For me that makes it worth updgarding all 
by itself.

No, you need to read up in the thread, starting with the first post. The 
problem is the speed at which SM 2.0 opens a news server and bolds the 
groups with new messages.  It's dog slow (like up to 1 minute for 13 
groups) if the groups have tens of thousands of (already read) posts in 
them. It was not slow in 1.1.18 and previous versions.


OK, that's a relief.

And if one minute for 13 groups with tens of thousands of headers each 
is dog slow for you, it's a major upgrade for me. What do you have, a 
T1 line or something? FiOS?

I am assumong that it not behaves as Firefox does.  You can edit 
existing entries, but you cannot add them.  Rather, the first time an 
unknown file type is encountered, you make a selection which is added to 
the list.


Do I understand that you have tried to edit an existing entry, but the 
setting doesn't stick?  If so, try setting the file type in question to 
always ask, then navigate to such a file type and set it that way.

My home page is my bookmark file. Setting is for browser to open on 
home page. This has worked for years with multiple versions including 
SM2 until today.


I changed to the following: show website icons  aggressively look for 
website icons and always load website icons for bookmarks. After doing 
this and restarting, the browser opened with a blank page. If I 
clicked on home page it showed the bookmark file. I went back and 
changed every preference back the way It was originally and browser 
still opens with a blank page. Any suggestions?

If you're receiving all the list e-mails, instead of just digests,
simply replying should work fine without creating new threads.  (You
weren't actually creating new threads, but your replies were threaded
under the digest posts, which most people don't have copies of.)

 If there is not then why the heck is it even provided?  Members of
 this list obviously don't want to have to struggle with a new thread
 with every reply.

Digests are mostly useful for people who want to keep up with what's
going on in a list without actually participating.  People who want to
subscribe to the digests only but still reply to them should do what
you did, changing the Subject, but also mention in the body that
they're replying to digests so the regulars don't get bent out of shape.

I had issues with large newsgroups proviously (after switching to 2.x -
many early test versions), but lately things seem to have settled down.
Regarding large newsgroups, I use gmane.org for lists  following are
some samples of the amount of headers I have:

gmane.comp.openoffice.releases - 6252 (goes back to 2005)
gmane.comp.openoffice.questions - 17946 (haven't bother to load all)
gmane.linux.ubuntu.user - 200054 (goes back to 2004)
etc., etc., etc, for well over 30 newsgroups on news.gmane.org

Since changing to news.update_unread_on_expand;false I'm fairly happy
with the 2.0 performance when compared to 1.1.18 (I run them in parallel
- so it's easy to compare). Keep in mind that sometimes the news server
itself may be the issue. Run both 1.1.18 and 2.0 in parallel to check.

Perhaps the issue is that your newsgroup files are attempting to
download _all_ headers from each group rather than the most recent
500/1000 whatever. Maybe check on your 1.1.18  see how many headers it
has for a particular group  compare?

What happens if you launch TablEdit and open the file directly from 
there? (just do CTRL-O and paste the URL into the dialog). If it opens 
fine, SM has a problem and I would look at its font settings (e.g., Edit 
| Appearance | Fonts | Allow documents to use other fonts); if not, then 
it's a system-wide problem and not SM's fault.


But I'm just a power user, not an expert, so take this with a grain of salt.

Re: SM2 not showing home page on opening

 My home page is my bookmark file. Setting is for browser to open on

 SM2 until today.
 
 I changed to the following: show website icons  aggressively look for 
 website icons and always load website icons for bookmarks. After doing 
 this and restarting, the browser opened with a blank page. If I 
 clicked on home page it showed the bookmark file. I went back and 
 changed every preference back the way It was originally and browser 
 still opens with a blank page. Any suggestions?

Also using WinXP.

On the menu bar, I went to [Edit  Preferences].  On the Preferences
window, I selected Browser.  On the Browser pane, under Display on, I
selected the Home page radio button for all three items in the
pull-down selection list.  Under Home Page on the saem Browser pane, I
used the Choose File button to navigate to my bookmark.html file.

However, if you browse in more than one profile, you might not get your
home page when you startup except for the profile you were in when you
terminated.  See bug #525242 at

Well, as a comparison, I have 12 groups on this account, the new posts

It really hasn't seemed any different comparing 2.0 with 1.1.18 here.


If you do a View|Threads|All, how many posts are there?



In this group? 1206.  The others range from 100 or so to 1500.

I don't need to change view settings to see that, it shows in the status 
bar.


FWIW, my status bar for this group reads:
Unread: 14   Total: 9525




Hmmm, I show 43,739. I guess it depends on how many headers were downloaded
when the group was initially subscribed? I always download all headers (as
I have a connection that makes this easy).

Re: SM 2.0. Archives and newsgroups

It looks like that whatever settings are chosen for Newsgroup, a copy of
a sent post is stored as Archives in a folder chosen by the user. Is
this correct, or am I misunderstand the meaning of Archives?


The new Archive feature is a purely manual one. If you choose Archive
from the Message menu or context menu of one or more selected mails (or
use the shortcut, Shift+A), SeaMonkey puts a copy of those in the
Archives folder that is set in Account Settings.

HTH

Thanks, I had not realized there was a new Archives command in the Menu.

Re: SM 2.0 Ubuntu 8.04 .deb package (64-bit) , also for Debian 5

2009-11-08 Thread Lou

Lou 提到:

Since Ubuntu won't release SM 2.0 for 8.04 (Hardy Heron), I decided to
compile it myself and made a .deb package. Anyone interested in trying
it can get it here (click on seamonkey_2.0-1_amd64.deb to download)
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=9db35479c75a777d08f8df73f2072ed6e04e75f6e8ebb871


It installs to /usr/local/lib/seamonkey-2.0 and the executable goes to
/usr/local/bin/seamonkey. On a standard Ubuntu installation, that
should be on your path and should run from a terminal with no
problems, but you may have to edit the menu entry (KDE, Gnome,) to
point to the right place.


Thanks! It's also working on Debian 5 (I'm testing this .deb with Debian
5.0.3 , stable distribution, amd64, GNOME)

At first I installed SM2 as root account (without caution...), but looks
like everything was fine. I can run seamonkey as normal user account.

but I can not run SM2 from /usr/local/bin/seamonkey (so I removed it
later. --sorry I forgot the error message.) Instead of it,
another path /usr/local/lib/seamonkey-2.0/seamonkey is OK.

This package is helpful, so I don't have to ready an environment for
building SM2.

Relaxing.


I'm glad it is working for you.

James, for future reference, when posting here with a problem, ALWAYS
use reply, so that your messages stay in one threading, so people can
chase up whats been suggested before so they don't repeat what others
have said.

Then, to stop each post getting too long, you can snip (i.e. cut and
delete) out the old stuff (as Lee did a few posts back), just leaving
enough for people to follow whats going on.

Good to see you've fixed your problem.

Daniel


For the record, James was using the mailing list interface, and 
receiving a digest of posts periodically.  Using the Reply key was going 
to send a reply to the entire digest, and would not have threaded 
anyhow.  We got him set up on the news server and all is well.


Lee


O.K!! My mistake.
