[newbie] Mail Client for the CLI
Today I couldn't start X after upgrading the kernel and the only way that I had to get to this list was booting XP (Outlook frozen up 4 times in less than 1.5 hours, so I needed to reboot 4 times to get working back). Solution: I reinstalled Mandrake (and I am recompiling the kernel again). However, just in case I can not get X started, is there any nice MUA for the CLI?

Last night I tried to upgrade to new kernel 2.4.19-24, and around 1:30 am (EST), when everything was finished and I rebooted, I couldn't get X started. The system went into runlevel 5 three times but X didn't start. I tried then to rollback to the previous version, but I should have done something wrong because X didn't start and I got a 2.4.19-24 welcome message instead of the 2.4.19-16 I expected. I waited until today for any help, but Outlook was driving me crazy and I decided to reinstall Mandrake. I am upgrading again and turning ACPI support on which I need for my laptop and just to see if I can get any sound out of this machine. And of course, because I need to find out why X didn't start. Praying that I don't have to reinstall again :-) -- __ / \\ @ __ __@ Adolfo Bello [EMAIL PROTECTED] / // // /\ / \\ // \ // Bello Ingenieria S.A, ICQ: 65910258 / \\ // / \\ / // // / //cel: +58 416 609-6213 /___// // / _/ \__\\ //__/ // fax: +58 212 952-6797 www.bisapi.com //pager: www.tun-tun.com (# 609-6213) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

This prevented xfs (font server) from starting; nVidia graphics? When you boot to runlevel 3 and try and start XFree with startx, what error messages do you get? -- Greg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I didn't write it down but I am sure was nothing related to /tmp being full or so I guess. It said something like X being unable to find a terminal. In about half an hour I'll be reinstalling the new kernel again. I hope nothing goes wrong, but if it does i will take detailed notes of error messages. Thanks a lot for your concern. -- __ / \\ @ __ __@ Adolfo Bello [EMAIL PROTECTED] / // // /\ / \\ // \ // Bello Ingenieria S.A, ICQ: 65910258 / \\ // / \\ / // // / //cel: +58 416 609-6213 /___// // / _/ \__\\ //__/ // fax: +58 212 952-6797 www.bisapi.com //pager: www.tun-tun.com (# 609-6213) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If nvidia, did you recompile the kernel module after installing the new kernel? -- Greg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Timing is more than right for this advise. In a few minutes I will be installing the new kernel.

If nvidia, did you recompile the kernel module after installing the new kernel? you may also try compiling the drivers directly into the kernel as opposed to loading the module for the nvidia card. that sometimes help the situation. however it does make for a heavier kernel. -- Mark If necessity is the mother of invention, then who's the father? --- Paid for by Penguins against modern appliances(R) Linux User Since 1996 Powered by Mandrake Linux 8.2 9.0 ICQ# 27816299 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I routinely use mutt from the CLI even though I have X installed and working.
