Sendmail problem
I'm not a tester, but I thought I would note that sendmail-8.15.2-6.fc24.x86_64 does not appear to work for me under Fedora-24 beta. If anyone else is using it without problem, please ignore this report. I was running KMail with the sendmail option for sending email, and this failed with the error "Failed to transmit message". When I changed to using a remote email server, KMail worked fine, so I assume the problem was with sendmail. I'm afraid I didn't study the problem seriously. I simply observed that journalctl had the entry -- sendmail.service: PID file /run/sendmail.pid not readable (yet?) after start: No such file or directory and the following, repeated several times May 25 23:14:52 william.gayleard.com ksmserver[1395]: QXcbWindow: Unhandled client message: "_NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP" ---------- -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/test@lists.fedoraproject.org
systemd/sendmail problem - seeking help
I'm running Fedora-24(beta)/KDE, and sendmail/email (through KMail) is failing. When I try to send email I get the warning "Failed to transmit message", and journalctl has the entry "sendmail.service: PID file /run/sendmail.pid not readable (yet?) after start: No such file or directory". I've checked, and sendmail.pid is in place: == [tim@william ~]$ sudo cat /run/sendmail.pid 2829 /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q1h == Googling for this journalctl entry, I see people have been encountering the same problem for years. But I haven't seen any solution offered. Several of the comments suggest that it is a systemd problem. If anyone can offer advice, or even elucidation, I should be most grateful. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/test@lists.fedoraproject.org

As a matter of interest, why do you care about the nvidia driver, if nouveau works perfectly for you? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
