administrivia: I'm not subscribed to debian-user (but will check the list for answers in any case). CCs to me are fine (even appreciated!). Today I saw the following errors on one of the machines (an HP EliteBook laptop) that I upgraded today: Processing triggers for initramfs-tools

Hi all, i had sent a message to debian-laptop a few hours back, but all i've seen so far is one response (suggesting i use q4os). i'm pretty committed to using debian directly though (at least until i've tried an awful lot more things). After installing buster, this brand new laptop of mine

stretch update of thunderbird wants to remove enigmail

2018-09-17 Thread ernst doubt
Greetings, I run debian stretch: ni@quark:/etc$ cat debian_version 9.5 and I use a number of email clients. I see there is currently an update (presumably security related?) for thunderbird. But as this upgrade would remove enigmail I chose (at least for the moment) to not implement it. Does

David, Thanks much for the heads-up. Do you have a bug report you could refer me to so I can check out details? I guess in some sense I'm quite "lucky" as I do have one instance that's continuing to function properly (on the laptop) even though this one is reduced to being able to send

Ernst, Things that come to mind... The way IMAP works is e-mail is delivered to the mail server (google/gmail, is what I think you said). Your client (kmail, thunderbird, etc) reads an email message from the server. Then, depending on configuration, the message is saved or deleted? So, check

I sent a similar message to debian-kde this morning, but it appears there's not much activity there, so I figured I'd also try here. I've been a debian GNU/linux user (I like KDE for my desktop, though I generally keep openbox (and gnome) available as "fallbacks") for quite some time now

I have sid running, but so far no luck with successfully connecting to an access point (though I seem to be close). I had tried previously with ipw3945 but never gotten everything right, so now I'm giving iwl3945 a try instead. I inadvertently proved that the hardware is perfectly capable of

I have a 2.6.18 (self-compiled) kernel that I can use to successfully mount an SD card from my camera, but when I built a newer, more trimmed down kernel, my SD card access is no longer available. I thought I had enabled all the correct hardware options, but apparently I've missed something. My
