invisible mailboxes in evolution

2004-09-18 Thread Paul W.
I'm using Debian Testing, and it's been working for about the last eight
months w/o too much issue.  I have a sudden problem now though, that
being that I can open Evolution and see the summary, calendar, and task
pages, but nothing with an email in it  (drafts/sent/trash/inbox/etc.). 
Clicking on one of those folders presents me with an empty window pane,
with just the std search bar at the top present for that display.

I've checked everything I can think of, including verifying I had no
hidden messages.

I thought perhaps I'd muffed my $home/evolution directory, so backed the
current one up, and restored from a month's old backup.  Same exact
problem, though the display no longer recognized that I had any unread
emails.

Debian Testing, Evolution 1.4.6, Gnome 2.6

I'd appreciate any tips or help.

Thanks, Paul

I have the exact symptoms, though I don't see the dhclient error on
boot, I do see it if I try to load it manually.

Did you upgrade anything yesterday?  I lost mine (I think) after an
apt-get upgrade.  I have an nforce2 chipset which has built in ethernet
and sound, and as both are gone for me - assumed it was the chipset.

I had the same issue after upgrading gdm yesterday.  The file, instead
of being inside of /etc/gdm/Sessions is now supposed to be in one of a
few places (I think), I put mine in /etc/dm/Sesssions.  The contents of
the file:

apt-get upgrade == no eth0/sound for nforce2

2004-04-14 Thread Paul W.
I installed debian testing in mid febuary, and everything was working
fine.  The onboard ethernet and sound for my nforce2 board (shuttle xpc)
were detected, and worked.

Yesterday though I ran 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get upgrade', and after
booting the computer later that evening, was left without sound or network.

I do recall that gdm, cdrecord, and gftp were some of the packages
upgraded, though wouldn't think they'd have any bearing on the above.  I
tried to find a way to determine what else was changed, but am stumped -
maybe someone else knows.  This machine is a dualboot, and these devices
still work inside of windows (which i'm posting from).

Comparing an older bootlog to the current one, it seems that the
forcedeth and audio driver loadings aren't even attempted.  Line for
line they are identical, except where the ethernet or audio should be
loaded, there is nothing - not even an error.

Everything else appears to be normal.  USB is working, as is the
graphics card (compiled nvidia, add-in card, not built in).

I'm running kernel 2.4.24

I'd appreciate any help or pointers,

Thanks, Paul

ALSA walkthrough anyone?

2003-02-15 Thread Paul W
OK, I've managed to completely confuse myself with ALSA trying to get my 
82801DB ICH4 sound working.  I've compiled a 2.4.20 kernel (the Debian way I 
think) and installed a few versions of ALSA in a few different places but 
sound doesn't work and neither does my ethernet card (although it does in my 
safe 2.4.18 kernel).  I can't supply too much more info without knowing where 
to look and what is relevant.
As a start, below is  /var/log/dmesg for the 2.4.20, any pointers in 
plainspeak would be greatly appreciated.

Kernel fallback

2003-01-20 Thread Paul W
Back again so soon?

Hello all,
I've been trying (and still am) to compile a 2.4.20 kernel with alsa modules 
to enable my soundcard, as per the good advice given me earlier.  So far I've 
tried the Debian way and the old fashioned way and I'm nearly there but not 
quite - I now have a 2.4.20 kernel that doesn't work right as the default and 
a 2.4.18 kernel in good order (apart from sound) that I can boot into from 
lilo.  My question is - If I now try to install another kernel will my 
current 2nd choice (2.4.18) disappear, and if so how do I stop it from doing 
so as it's my only fully operational choice at present?

Does this question make any sense??

Thanks 

Paul

Kernel help - ICH4 (82801DB) onboard sound

2003-01-12 Thread Paul W
Thanks to all who helped earlier.

I've now found that I may be able to get sound using a kernel 2.5.11 or above 
(http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/linux/audio.htm), is there a specific 
version that anyone could recommend?
Also I've only ever used kernel sources supplied with the distribution 
before, is there a deb package I need and a debian specific procedure or 
should I just RTFM and post again when I've buggered it up?

Thanks 

Paul

Unsupported Soundcard - Help!

2003-01-10 Thread Paul W
Hello all

Trying this one yet again - I suppose I may just have to 
buy another soundcard, recommendations anyone?
BTW sndconfig tells me the card isn't supported.

My new PC has a built in soundcard and despite a lot of RTFMing and 
experimentation I still have no idea how to make it work.
The motherboard manual says:
