Problem and solution for Yahoo Extension (Tbird 3.x Beta Linux)
I had a problem with the Yahoo extension (1.4.4) with Thunderbird Linux Beta (3.0b2 Fedora) associating one accounts settings to another of my Yahoo accounts in program. It would download the wrong other Yahoo account's Inbox instead of the right one. So I removed the account and removed the file folder (For some reason, Mozilla hasn't written in a routine to offer the option of deleting the folder and email archive after you remove it from their account.) within the .thunderbird linux (.thunderbird folder is used by Fedora, some linux's and other OS's place it in other places.) Then I recreated the account in Thunderbird 3.0b2 options and it still would download the same email from the other Yahoo account after doing it. So what I thought next going through all the file is I noticed that Mozilla changed the structure of its mail program from 2.x. It looks much like Firefox with cookies and many other parts of it. So it should be further noted for the WebMail Author in the future. So what I did next is deleted the cookies.sqlite and other cookies file. (Which can have this type of associative, relative linking or symbolic linking via snippets of cookies.) Then I re-ran Thunderbird and low and behold my problem was solved. It stopped downloading the wrong email from the wrong inbox from the Yahoo Webmail extension. So in case this might come up in the future, have them look into deleted the cookies folder in thunderbird 3.x file structure. Could someone suggest to me where I could post this solution for the Thunderbird Beta testers or problem solvers? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thunderbird Webmail Extension" group.

Re: [mythtv-users] Mythtv Distro Help
Alex I have the ATI remote working nicely under FC3, with my own keys remapped as well as eliminating the multiple key presses that you get with the AIW. I have a custom kernel module that does this, pretty easy to do if you are happy to build kenel modules. Let me know if you want to have a go. You will need to have kenel sources installed ( See the FC3 release notes on how to do this) then replace the Ati_remote.c file with my one edit the key bindings as you see fit in this file #make modules #make modules install and you are sorted. I'll put this up on the Mythinfo WIKI when I get some time.

Re: [mythtv-users] [OT] New ATI drivers just released for Linux(32bit & 64bit)
I can confirm that the new drivers installed well and are fully working on a Fedora Core 3 741 kernel. Installed very easily. Did not need to use the xfree config file it created. Just updated my xorg.conf to support video accelleration. Have not tried tvout or HD via the DVI. I have a plasma panel at 852x480 via a DV connected. Noticeable speed diff in things like the prog guide and on screen menus.

Re: [mythtv-users] Installing MythTV from ATrpms.
Clemens I assume you are following Jarods guide. But looks like you missed a few steps vs the guide. http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/ This has now rolled to Fedora Core 3. I followed this guide just this weekend on a bare metal build and had no probs (about 4 hours work) ( i'm using dvb so this may be a change to yours) but myth comes straight through from the ATRPM's. You might consider not loading from local RPM's and from the web just in case. You should also run everything from the console rather than the browser. Also make sure that you are root at the right places as per Jarrods guide Kind regards Mike Choy - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 5:25 PM Subject: [mythtv-users] Installing MythTV from ATrpms. > Ive been trying to get MythTV running now for about 3months, and > with little/no success. > > I CAN see video if I use ptune/mplayer, so I have to assume my > kernel and kernel drivers are ok, its just MythTV itself that > seems to be the problem. > > I have been compiling from CVS every few days, and the last version > that worked at all was from the week before Christmas.

Re: [mythtv-users] mythfrontend crashes
Dave Not sure if this helps, but I had similar problem which was related to using the kernel deinterlacer. By disabling the deinterlacer and using the custom filters entry for deinterlacing this solved all my problems. There was a bug which caused the deinterlacer to crash when it was not passed explicit prameters. Have a look at the Myth install guide on how to enter custom video filters.

Re: [mythtv-users] taking too long to be allowed to read
Chris Have you set up the channels in mythtvsetup or used zap2myth to load up the myth database? See below previous post Mike Choy Hi Clive Sorry that you seem to be having so much problems with your myth install. I'm not familiar with your card, as I am using a Nova-T with the new connexant chips on FC3 and this has been working for some weeks now. Here are some thoughts that might help. 1. The Winfast card that you have seems to be a Analogue Terrestrial card not a DVB freeview card I'm not sure if I have thisis right but you do say in your thread that you are trying to ge the Freeview UK channels. 2. If you are using a DVB Card and trying to tune into UK Freeview, You have not made it clear if you were successful with having your card tune outside of MythTV. This is absolutley critical cause Myth objects violently when it cant tune, cause it buggers up the database and then its all down hill from there. Assuming that you are talking about DVB, here is what I found, if not I have no experience with Analogue card so this will not be much use for you. So How do you tune DVB Card and load up Mythdatabase without manually entering the channel info one at a time like I did when I started. First I would ignore the Myth TV TV grab utilities, cause if you cant tune your card, you are wasting a lot of time in Myth. 1. I assume that you have all drivers installed for your card. In the Case of the newer connexant based Nova-T cards you sadly have to install a custom kernel and patch it with the driver patchs from bytesex.org. Let me know if you need help here. 2. You now need some tools, I created a directory for each in /usr/src so that I could build them. - DVB Apps - Zap2myth - tv_grab_dvb. Zap2myth is here http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~brejc8/dvb/ tv_grab_dvb is here http://www.darkskiez.co.uk/index.php?page=tv_grab_dvb dvb apps is available from linuxtv.org -you can get from CVS with the following commands #cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/linuxtv login #carriage return to login #cd /usr/src/dvb-apps #cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/linuxtv co dvb-apps #cd dvb-apps #make Once this has been built you will now see a directory called utils/scan use dvbscan example below (Assume that you are on the CrystalPalace transmitter, other transmitters are under the dvb-t directory) # cd /usr/src/dvb-apps/util/scan #./dvbscan dvb-t/uk-CrystalPalace | tee /home/mythtv/.tzap/channels.conf If all is well then you will have a channels.conf file populated with your freeview channel tuning info. You can now have a look a live tv using tzap to tune into an individual channel and pipe it into mplayer like so. # tzap -c /home/mythtv/.tzap/channels.conf -r 'ITV 2 # mplayer - < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0. ===Loading Mythtv with channel information=== 1. We build a clean channels.conf file that contains the tuned channels that we have recepton for using dvbscan above. 2.

[mythtv-users] Widescreen LG Plasma on DVI Modeline with Mythtv
Hi Team Just so that this is available for anyone else buying an LG RZ-42PX11 in the UK. These are available for under £1,500 now in the UK so I think a few people will be buying these. I have this working in widescreen on my mythbox at its native resolution of 852X480 via an Nvidia FX5200 via the DVI, and watching live TV through FreeView. The picture is excellent as it has to do very little scaling, which with a plasma is what is needed. Here is the xorg.conf file. # Xorg configuration created by system-config-display Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "single head configuration" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" # RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.

Re: [mythtv-users] prebuffering pause
Probably along the right line. I had a similar performance problem that was due to the system using software based sound rather that the hardware based sound. Check that your sound system is doing the right thing by playing some music (cd etc) and watching the CPU percentage. Mike Choy - Original Message - From: Paul Woodward To: Discussion about mythtv Sent: Friday, December 31, 2004 12:34 PM Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] prebuffering pause I don't know if this will help, but here goes... I have DVB-T running on a Abit IC7-G, P4 2.4C, 512Mhz Ram, 120Gb IDE HD - not a slow system by any means. When I added a SATA HD, the picture started to break up (continuous errors in the DVB TS stream). The CPU usage was at 10% so that wasn't the problem. After a lot of prodding, I fixed it by disabling the onboard sound (I have an M-Audio Rev 7.1) and the onboard firewire. I don't know the exact problem that it fixed, but it's been working fine ever since, now with 3 SATA drives. If anyone knows, I'd like to know.

Re: [mythtv-users] Newbie: FC3 - MythTV backend setup - stuck. 2. Alsosetup GUI issue. 3. Also UK settings?
Hi Clive Sorry that you seem to be having so much problems with your myth install.I'm not familiar with your card, as I am using a Nova-T with the new connexant chips on FC3 and this has been working forsome weeks now. Here are some thoughts that might help. 1. The Winfast card that you have seems to be a Analogue Terrestrial card not a DVB freeview card I'm not sure if I have thisis right but you do say in your thread that you are trying to ge the Freeview UK channels.2. If you are using a DVB Card and trying to tune into UK Freeview, You have not made it clear if you were successful with having your card tune outside of MythTV. This is absolutley critical cause Myth objects violently when it cant tune, cause it buggers up the database and then its all down hill from there. Assuming that you are talking about DVB, here is what I found, if not I have no experience with Analogue card so this willnot be much use for you. So How do you tune DVB Card and load up Mythdatabase without manually entering the channel info one at a time likeI did when I started. First I would ignore the Myth TV TV grab utilities, cause if you cant tune your card, you are wasting a lotof time in Myth. 1. I assume that you have all drivers installed for your card. In the Case of the newer connexant based Nova-T cards you sadly have to install a custom kernel and patch it with the driver patchs from bytesex.org. Let me know if you need help here. 2. You now need some tools, I created a directory for each in /usr/src so that I could build them. - DVB Apps - Zap2myth - tv_grab_dvb. Zap2myth is here http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~brejc8/dvb/tv_grab_dvb is here http://www.darkskiez.co.uk/index.php?page=tv_grab_dvbdvb apps is available from linuxtv.org -you can get from CVS with the following commands #cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/linuxtv login#carriage return to login#cd /usr/src/dvb-apps#cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/linuxtv co dvb-apps#cd dvb-apps#makeOnce this has been built you will now see a directory called utils/scan use dvbscan example below(Assume that you are on the CrystalPalace transmitter, other transmitters are under the dvb-t directory) # cd /usr/src/dvb-apps/util/scan#./dvbscan dvb-t/uk-CrystalPalace | tee /home/mythtv/.tzap/channels.conf If all is well then you will have a channels.conf file populated with your freeview channel tuning info. You can now have a look a live tv using tzap to tune into an individual channel and pipe it into mplayer like so. # tzap -c /home/mythtv/.tzap/channels.conf -r 'ITV 2# mplayer - < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0. ===Loading Mythtv with channel information=== 1.

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: Repeat problems with ati_remote in 2.6 kernel
Chris I made a change to the ati_remote.c file to give me a "one shot action" on most of the keys that need on one key per press. Its not perfect but is now very useable. I also made changes to the keys that are sent to myth so that I can have more coordination with Xine for dvd playing. The repeat on certain keys have bee left alone where it makes sense eg the vol up and down. See source here.

The difference between personal and business e-mails! Not all e-mails are created equal! E-mail has changed our lives both personally and professionally. It is an efficient, easy and even fun way to make plans with friends or bounce ideas off co-workers. While it is more informal and conversational in nature than paper-based communication, it is important to remember that not all e-mails should be created equally. You use a different tone when speaking to friends than when speaking to business associates right? Well that same courtesy and professionalism should apply to business e-mails as well. For example, an e-mail to a friend might read: "hey had a gr8 time yesterday :) we'll chat soon. later, me". While that same information when sent to a business associate might be written: "Dear Mr. Smith: Thank you for taking the time to meet with me yesterday. I look forward to speaking with you in the near future. Sincerely, Jane Doe Chief Financial Officer [EMAIL PROTECTED]". A distinct difference exists between the personal and business e-mails. Business e-mails should be short and concise. Most people are too busy to read lengthy e-mails searching for the point. It's also important to include your name, title and your own e-mail address so the recipient knows who you are and how to contact you. This information is called the signature and most e-mail programs allow you to set a default signature to appear at the end of each e-mail. You probably won't be hired or fired based on your e-mail etiquette (or e-etiquette). But keep in mind that your business e-mail communication is a reflection of you. Use your judgement and remember to think before you click send. 5 ways to protect yourself from catching a virus over the Internet. 1.USE PROPER SALUTATIONS AND SUBJECT HEADINGS. A simple, "Hi, Joe!" or "Joe:" is fine when addressing co-workers or outside clients you've met before. But use the more formal "Ms." or "Mr." salutations when e-mailing new clients or those higher on the corporate ladder. As for the subject box of an e-mail, think of it as the RE: (regarding) line of a memo. Don't leave it blank, just keep it short and to the point. 2. AVOID USING ALL CAPS. In the world of e-mail something typed in all capital letters denotes SHOUTING and most users consider it rude. Use caps ONLY when trying to emphasize a point. 3. CHECK AND RE-CHECK BEFORE SENDING AN E-MAIL. Make sure the addresses in the "To" box are spelled correctly and are in fact the people that you want to receive the information. It's a good idea to type the addresses only after you've completed the rest of the e-mail to avoid any potentially embarrassing situations. It is unprofessional to send e-mails filled with spelling, punctuation or grammar errors. Most e-mail programs contain built-in f

Action needed to keep your cypherpunks@iname.come-mail address!
Dear Random Q., You are receiving this letter because you have the following e-mail address powered by Mail.com: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Our records indicate that you have e-mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] forwarded to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In order to continue to serve your messaging needs, we at Mail.com have made some necessary operational changes. These changes require action on your part. Please follow the two steps below to update your account. 1. You need to log into your [EMAIL PROTECTED] account by May 31, 2000. Failure to do so will result in your account being disabled. You can log in at the following address: http://geocities.iname.com. 2. Check to see if you are sending mail through our servers. If your outgoing mail server is mail.iname.com you are affected. See section B for what action you can take. If you do not know the name of your outgoing mail server, here's a quick way to tell: A. If your sent mail reads "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]", no further action aside from the initial log-in is needed to update your account. B. If your sent mail reads "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]", you will need to select one of the following three options to update your account. If no action is taken, you will continue to receive forwarded mail from your [EMAIL PROTECTED] account, but will receive an error message (550: unable to authenticate server) when attempting to send e-mail through our servers.

Mail.com is now the proud owner of WORLD.com, Inc., a leading global incubator of premier Internet domain properties. WORLD.com is integrating Mail.com's category-defining cyber-realty into a network of major Web properties, serving the worldwide business-to-business and business-to-consumer marketplaces. The first properties being developed are Asia.com and India.com. Asia.com currently has over 160 employees focussed on business Internet services and local content. Through wireless partnerships with Motorola and others, it is well positioned to be a leader in the rapidly growing wireless Internet market in Asia. India.com has a strong management team focused on building the category leader in Indian content and e-commerce. WORLD.com is also developing additional key properties from Mail.com's portfolio of over 1,000 domains including Europe.com, USA.com, Japan.com, London.com, Paris.com, Rome.com, Doctor.com, Lawyer.com and Engineer.com. If you have a Mail.com email address at one these premier properties, look for further enhanced services and content as these properties are developed. For more information about Mail.com's exciting new venture, click on www.world.com ( http://wwwrd.0mm.com/mai399030 ) or click below for a Reuters review of the WORLD.com announcements as seen on CBS Marketwatch.com. http://wwwrd.0mm.com/mai399031 At this time, only Mail.com, the parent of WORLD, is a public company currently traded on NASDAQ under the symbol MAIL. We do expect that many of these properties will be public in the future, but they will continue to be majority-controlled subsidiaries of Mail.com. THUMBS UP FOR E-ZINES Recently, we asked many of you what you thought about online magazines, also called E-zines. The results of the survey were quite interesting. E-zines? The answer is "Yes." The overwhelming majority of our readers (94.0%) responded that, if available, they would subscribe to an E-zine. What flavor? Most of our readers, 63.9%, preferred Computer and Technology E-zines. News (40.7%), Music (40.0%), Travel (36.6%) and Health (37.4%) followed in popularity. The end of conventional magazines? Not really. While E-zines are definitely popular, the majority surveyed (75.4 %) said they would still continue to read print magazines in addition to online E-zines. YOU ASKED...AND WE LISTENED! Many of you asked us to add a spell checker to your e-mail service. Well, we listened! Now you can check for spelling mistakes before you ask your boss for a "raze" when you really want a "raise!" Look for the Spell Check button on the Write Message page. -- Dear Mail.com, Is there a way to get a confirmation that e-mails I send are received and opened? --D.B. Dear D.B, Yes, but it only works some of the time. Check the "Request a Return Receipt" box when sending an e-mail. If the recipient's e-mail program supports this feature, you will either get a receipt automatically e- mailed back to you, or the recipient will be given a choice about whether or not to send you a receipt. If the recipient's e-mail program does not support this feature, you will not get a confirmation. -- The Mail.com Answer Guy Have a question of general interest?

We received literally hundreds of letters from people of all ages, all walks of life, from all around the globe. These resolutions were both heartwarming and inspirational, and it gives us hope that this year will be the best year ever! Our only regret is that we do not have the room to reprint them all! MY NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION IS. . . Get an A in biology and to play better basketball. --A. C. Swim from Vancouver B.C. to Whistler B.C. --D. R. Eat more vegetables and fruit. -- M. B. Try and keep my room tidy. --B.T. To recycle old PC equipment for free use by volunteer groups in N. Ireland. --L.C. To lose weight. --Y.T. To save $1000. --B.E.

LAST WEEK'S POLL RESULTS 18 % of members said they wanted another year of Millennium Madness. 82 % of members said they had enough of Millennium Madness. -- WRITER'S BLOCK Are you a literary male or female chauvinist? If so, try and make your writing gender neutral. Don't write man and wife. Instead use husband and wife. A salesman can be a salesperson and firemen can be firefighters. Mailmen can be mail carriers. A businessman can be a business executive. And a policeman a police officer. And don't forget to change the best man for the job to the best person for the job. Except, of course, if the job is for a men's room attendant. -- E-TIQUETTE Ever get or send junk joke mail? You know, those sometimes funny and sometimes not so funny jokes that start who knows where, but somehow get forwarded to your mailbox-usually by a well-intentioned friend. It's okay to pass along something you think a friend might enjoy, but just make sure they really do enjoy it. People who like receiving jokes in the mail will usually let you know it by responding with a "thank you" in a return e- mail. Those that don't probably won't respond at all. So be sensitive. Don't joke around with your friend's feelings. ------ THE MAIL BAG Here's where Mail.com users tell us what they like best about Mail.com My favorite feature is the easy access to all of your folders using the side menu bar.

DOES THE MILLENIUM REALLY START JANUARY 1ST, 2000? Actually, no. While 2000 is generally considered the Millennium year, the new Millennium, according to the United States Naval Observatory (the nation's official time keeper), doesn't technically start until January 1, 2001. And you thought Millennium madness was almost over! NOW WHAT DID I SAY LAST MILLENIUM? Ever forget what you said in an e-mail?

Because the new Millenium doesn't technically start until January 1, 2001, Millennium madness won't technically end for another year. Are you looking forward to more Millennium Madness or have you had enough? If you want Millenium Madness for another year, e-mail us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you've had enough Millenium Madness, e-mail us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] WRITER'S BLOCK Start the Millennium off right by punctuating your dates properly when used in text. You have two options. If you use the sequence month-day- year, then the year is set off by commas. Example: On January 1, 2000, the Millennium year begins. An equally correct approach is to use the sequence day-month-year without the commas. Example: On 1 January 2000 the Millennium year begins. E-TIQUETTE BTW (by the way), LOL (laughing out loud) and RSN (real soon now) are all common Internet abbreviations, sometimes called Internet jargon. It's okay to pepper your e-mail with them when writing to seasoned users of newsgroups and chat rooms. However, they should used sparingly when e-mailing those less internet savvy. IMHO. (In my humble opinion.) THE MAIL BAG Here's where Mail.com user's tell us what they like best about Mail.com "The e-mail addresses are so appropriate, so simple and so easy to remember when giving them verbally, or to someone without a pen or computer."

Instead of signing in, simply click on "Click here to sign up" when you get to our home page. Then follow the simple onscreen directions. And remember, your second mailbox is free, just like your first! WRITER'S BLOCK Write positive. Use the word "not" sparingly. Don't write, "He's not very often late." Instead, write, "He usually comes on time." ETIQUETTE Be careful with sarcasm and humor. Often, what you mean as a joke can be taken as a criticism. To make sure what you say is taken in fun, add Smileys (also known as emotions) to the end of your e-mail. Here are a few that will do the trick: Smile :) Laugh :D Wink;) MAILBAG "What I like best about Mail.com is how I can set my Mail.com account to forward e-mails to my (POP-based) university account when I'm here, but change it to keep the mail online so I can access them via the Net when I'm travelling."

And lots of e-mail means your Mail.com mailbox can fill up fast. Mail.com helps by emptying your trash on a periodic basis. But you can empty it yourself anytime you want to free up more space. Here's how. Simply click on "Trash" in the navigation bar on the left side of your screen. If you want to empty all your trash, select "Select All." Otherwise, you just check the mail you want to get rid of. Next, select "Delete." The trash is emptied. WRITER'S BLOCK Write stingy. Don't use a twenty dollar phrase, when a ten-cent word will do. Don't write "occupational endeavor" when you just mean "job." E-TIQUETTE Be specific in the subject line of your e-mail. For example, if you want to reschedule Tuesday's meeting, don't simply write "Information" in the subject line. A better choice would be "Tuesday's meeting rescheduled." THE MAIL BAG "What I like best at Mail.com is being able to have a choice not only in the first part of my e-mail name, but getting to choose the part that comes after the @ also. As a teacher, I chose @teacher.com so my students would remember my address when they e-mail their assignments to me. And I recommend that they use Mail.com also."
