 Merv and Al, I have also not been receiving digests from about the
 same time as Merv. I am trying to reply to this thread from the
 archives so my apologies if I'm doing it the wrong way. My account
 says that Yahoo web mail has been bouncing the digest emails even
 though my inbox is almost empty (2% memory usage). I thought that it
 was something to do with MS taking over Yahoo so I registered another
 email account with my ISP but have still not received any digests. I
 have noticed other posts from people wondering why the postings are
 quiet so perhaps there are more people than us two with the same
 problem. You do not know that there is anything wrong as you do not
 get any error messages from you web mail account.

No problem here with a normal mail system, an average of 5 posts a day
over the last 20 days.  So it sounds as if web-mail or digests have some
problem.

Same here. - Vol 52, Issue 30 was last digest received.
Appears not to be a problem unless subscribed to digest.

[ubuntu-uk] Logging into a blank white screen

2009-09-11 Thread John Levin
Hi all,

Something is borked on my Lenovo 3000 N500 laptop :(

When I boot up, I get the log-in screen as per normal, but after logging 
in I'm faced with a blank white screen, wether with the normal gnome 
desktop or the failsafe. I can get into a shell no probs.

Amongst the errors in .xsession-errors is:
** (nautilus:8497): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Not supported

I'm presuming that this has been triggered by a recent update, but 
cannot recall any that would affect the display. Booting into a 
crunchbang live cd works fine

Running an up to date jaunty with Intel graphics.

Suggestions?

TIA

John

Update: installed lxde and can get into that fine. Seems to be a bug 
with gnome. Anybody seeing anything similar?

And one more update: I can log into gnome as a different user. So it's 
something corrupt in my profile. Can't think of what it could be - any 
suggestions?

TIA

Hmmm, you say you can get to terminal right?

If you can login to a terminal (either console or other terminal) under 
your normal user account, try renaming .gnome2 and .gnome2_private (they 
are usually hidden directories):

mv .gnome2 .gnome2-old
mv .gnome2_private .gnome2_private-old

Then log out and try logging in again and see if it makes any 
difference.  With any luck Gnome should re-create the folders and fix 
the problem.

If all else fails just rename the folders back.

Hope this helps.

Rob

Didn't work but by renaming my .config folder everything is (more or 
less) back as it should be. Thanks for your help!

[ubuntu-uk] gopenvpn

2009-09-11 Thread Kaushal Shriyan
Hi

I am using gopenvpn gui (http://gopenvpn.sourceforge.net/) to connect
to multiple vpn servers. It works
fine. There is a issue. The issue is that the internal name servers
doesnot get populated in /etc/resolv.conf file. I am using Ubuntu 9.04
Desktop.

so i am not able to browse some internal sites
is there a way to populate the internal nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf

With Network Manager, the internal Name servers are populated in
/etc/resolv.conf but i cannot simultaneously connect to multiple vpn
servers.
There is a Bug for it
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/91389

Please guide/suugest

Thanks and Regards

Kaushal
