I think squirrelmail had a script to figure it out. Raise me up one notch from guy who knows nothing about email to guy who knows nothing about his own email system. Hi Grant, there are two (actually four) possible names for your server: either localhost / 127.0.0.1, if your client and the server are running on the same machine or the fqdn you set up for your server / the server's IP, if client and server are not running on the same machine. You can find these out by reading squirrelmail's config files; using a Gentoo server without USE=vhosts probably somewhere below /var/www/localhost/htdocs/squirrelmail/ Hi Dirk, I'm using Sylpheed on a local machine, and the email server is on a remote machine. I've tried the server's domain name and its IP as the server name but Sylpheed just isn't telling me anything. Does it have a log file? Is anyone using Sylpheed and Courier-IMAP? Hi Grant, please have a look into your Courier-IMAP files. Did you set it up to listen to the external interface (eth*) or just to the local loop? Make your IMAP server to listen to eth* on port 143 (unsecured IMAP) and try to telnet it; login manually. If that works, there's something wrong with Sylpheed or your local firewall settings (forbidding ports 143 and 993). Of course, you should change your passwords on the server after sending them unencrypted via the Net.

Cheers Jamie Some of the tools involved in doing what you need: mencoder (part of mplayer package) transcode (emerge transcode) mencoder specifically is used to convert from weird formats (like .asf, wmv, and .mov) to .avi, and thereafter you can use transcode to demux/convert the .avis to other formats (like mpg, if you want to burn the files to a (S)VCD or DVD, or change their encoding (convert from/to PAL standards from/to NTSC standards, for example, for use on a cheap standalone player like mine, which doesn't have progressive scan). These are command-line programs, but I find them ultimately easier to use than the front-ends available (but it helps to know something about video encoding, which I don't, so that might be the problem as well). dvd::RIP (transcode frontend for ripping DVDs) avidemux (transcode frontend for demuxing *.avis) konverter (KDE mencoder front end) There are more, many of which are referred to (along with many other useful tips) in the invaluable forum thread here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=117709start=0 Also, iirc, VirtualDub does run under Wine.

[gentoo-user] Backup script issues
I'm having issues with my backup scripts. I wrote both backup scripts back when I was using FC1 on my client PC.

Full backup is on Sunday; every other day gets iBackup. They're listed in the crontab to run at 3am.

[gentoo-user] Palm/Visor + Gnome 2 + Evo 2 + gpilotd Problems...
Hi All- Just finished upgrading to Evolution 2, and I'm having a lot of trouble syncing up my PalmOS device... It all started just after running Evolution 2 for the first time, when I tried to sync. It appeared to sync fine, went through the motions, but did not actually update the contacts/to-do/calendar in Evo or on the palm with new entries created on the opposite side. So, I backed up the palm and tgz'd the ~/MyPilot and ~/.evolution directories. I then tried a variety of different things to get things syncing. The only thing that seemed to make a difference was going to /usr/share/gnome-pilot/conduits and moving the non-2.0 conduits to /usr/share/gnome-pilot/oldconduits After this, it appeared to use the new 2.0 conduits, and attempt to sync the data into Evo 2. But I ended up with duplicate records. D'oh! Running pilot-dedupe got rid of some duplicates, but I still had at least 2 copies of every entry in the contacts, calendar and to-do databases. At this point, I opted to start over, so I attempted to restore from my backups: `rm ~/.evolution -fr` `rm ~/MyPilot -fr` Hard reset Palm Untar ~/MyPilot backup Untar ~/.evolution backup Use pilot-xfer to restore pilot from ~/MyPilot/* But now, when I try to sync up the palm, I get CORBA errors. Same errors when I try to use gpilotd-control-applet to get/send the ID to the pilot. Figured next I'd try removing ~/.evolution once again and doing a straight Copy-From-Pilot to restore my contacts and calendar, since they're OK on the pilot after the pilot-xfer restore. But still can't get the pilot to sync with gpilotd. Tried unmerging and re-emerging evolution, gnome-pilot and gnome-pilot-conduits. No change. Am currently at wit's end... Has anybody got any ideas? Thanks, Dave -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Other disturbing thing is persistive usage of /devfs which is marked OBSOLETE in 2.6 kenels. Using --udev does not help at all thou udevd is loaded but if I put a RC_DEVICES=udev in /etc/conf.d/rc on boot system states that i miss something for udev support... (I've emerged coldplug and hotplug) Have you emerged udev? Switching to udev is described in some detail in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml I would only suggest to leave devfs support compiled into the kernel and disable it later on via kernel parameters. I didn't and ended up with a kernel which couldn't mount my root:) Cheers, Sasha -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] The Gimp jpeg HELP

Re: [gentoo-user] Palm/Visor + Gnome 2 + Evo 2 + gpilotd Problems...
I do have a similar issue here. My Tungsten E synchronizes perfectly with jPilot. With Evolution only contacts are somewhat working. Memos / calender are simply ignored. Not even an initial forced copy from Palm to Evolution works - no warnings no errors. So at least I guess we are not alone ;-) David D. Rea schrieb: Hi All- Just finished upgrading to Evolution 2, and I'm having a lot of trouble syncing up my PalmOS device... It all started just after running Evolution 2 for the first time, when I tried to sync. It appeared to sync fine, went through the motions, but did not actually update the contacts/to-do/calendar in Evo or on the palm with new entries created on the opposite side. So, I backed up the palm and tgz'd the ~/MyPilot and ~/.evolution directories. I then tried a variety of different things to get things syncing. The only thing that seemed to make a difference was going to /usr/share/gnome-pilot/conduits and moving the non-2.0 conduits to /usr/share/gnome-pilot/oldconduits After this, it appeared to use the new 2.0 conduits, and attempt to sync the data into Evo 2. But I ended up with duplicate records. D'oh! Running pilot-dedupe got rid of some duplicates, but I still had at least 2 copies of every entry in the contacts, calendar and to-do databases. At this point, I opted to start over, so I attempted to restore from my backups: `rm ~/.evolution -fr` `rm ~/MyPilot -fr` Hard reset Palm Untar ~/MyPilot backup Untar ~/.evolution backup Use pilot-xfer to restore pilot from ~/MyPilot/* But now, when I try to sync up the palm, I get CORBA errors. Same errors when I try to use gpilotd-control-applet to get/send the ID to the pilot. Figured next I'd try removing ~/.evolution once again and doing a straight Copy-From-Pilot to restore my contacts and calendar, since they're OK on the pilot after the pilot-xfer restore. But still can't get the pilot to sync with gpilotd. Tried unmerging and re-emerging evolution, gnome-pilot and gnome-pilot-conduits. No change. Am currently at wit's end... Has anybody got any ideas?

[gentoo-user] Monster emerge -- an odd thing or two
Having carefully backed up my whole root partition, I just embarked on the huge emerge that had built up in just the few days around the new years. I was worried about Xorg, of course -- it was going to be a major pain if that didn't work. In the event, everything seems fine, but there were some oddities, in my opinion. It also seemed to replace much of KDE and a bunch of other things too. 38 steps. The oddities: For one thing, emerge first emerged xorg 6.8.0-r3, then downgraded it to xorg 6.7.0-r3, all in the same batch. Anyone know why it does this? I'm running on 6.70 right now, with no noticeable difference from the earlier XFree, so I'm not complaining. It just seems weird. Also very time-consuming. For another, when it was done, and quite aside from the automatic trivial config merges, there were 291 config file changes that etc-update wanted me to scrutinize. I don't have the attention span for that, so I looked at the 9 that I most nearly know what they do. The rest I just told it to automerge, and I'm hoping for the best. Is it really necessary to have 300 config files changed in a given update? There just seems to be something unfriendly about that. ++ kevin -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

The Starting local text comes from /etc/init.d/local which executes any startup scripts in /etc/conf.d/local.start. _k Keith, Thanks for the reply! I see that I managed above to report the contents (or the lack thereof) in /etc/conf.d/local.start as /etc/conf.d/start.local. Sorry about that little reporting error. In truth, there are no entries in my /etc/conf.d/local.start, just the standard, commented-out boilerplate which leaves me without ideas of anykind as to a solution.

However, also check /var/log/message and anywhere else you might have some juicy logs. Perhaps a few steps for sanity: 1. Remove, as Alec suggests, local from init.d. Test this. 2. I assume your /etc/init.d/local dependencies are set to after *. 3. Check your /etc/inittab for anything suspicious. Refer to dmesg (as Alex suggests ;) ). It is possible that there is a strange problem with the DM scripts, the getty you are using, or possibly PAM. None of those seem likely though. _k -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Here's some feedback. 1. Nothing from dmesg that I could detect. 2. Some /var/log/message entries that might be significant, I'll leave the analysis to you. At the tail end of the log I see this, leaving out the date and hostname boilerplate: login[1174]: PAM pam_putenv: delete non-existent entry; REMOTEHOST PAM-env[1174]: Unknown PAM_ITEM: DISPLAY login[1174]: PAM pam_putenv: delete non-existent entry; DISPLAY PAM-env[1174]: Unknown PAM_ITEM: XAUTHORITY login[1174]: PAM pam_putenv: delete non-existent entry; XAUTHORITY login(pam_unix)[1174]: session opened for user root by (uid=0) Thoughts? You think this problem is a bug, a pam bug, perhaps? jlowell -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Sorry, I see that you mentioned that in your initial email. What I really should have asked is: Do you see the [ ok ] after Starting local..., or does the pause happen before that appears? If the [ ok ] appears quickly, then (stating the obvious) something after /etc/init.d/local is causing the pause. It might be a problem with /sbin/agetty or /bin/login. Can you please send the contents of /etc/inittab and /etc/pam.d/login? -- Daniel Westermann-Clark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
