Aptitude has upgraded Icedove to version 3.0.4 today on my squeeze-amd64 system. Debian's Enigmail package is conflicting with that version of Icedove, though, and won't install therefore. I can't install enigmail as an Icedove add-on either, because the add-on is telling me that the Icedove build type "Linux_x86_64-gcc3" ain't compatible with it.
View 1 RepliesI'm using Debian stable wheezy and icedove 31.5.0.
I have many different accounts set up on my icedove and sometimes I don't remember on which account I received the specific email I'm looking for, so I would like to be able to search through all my folders (say, absolutely all folders: all accounts, inbox, sent, trash, drafts, etc...).
Neither the quick filter toolbar, nor the "Search message" (Ctrl-Shift-F) feature seem to allow this. Now that's where the brand new shining "Global Search" (Ctrl-K) feature should be useful. However it does not seem to support partial match. So for instance if I'm looking for someone named "Lebenhaus GrossGrabenstein" but only remember that his name contains "Gross", the search through global search will return no result.
I'm pretty sure it was possible to do a proper search (with partial matching) accross all mails in previous versions of icedove, but I cannot find it anymore.
Right now the only workaround I have is to do a "grep -R" on my ~/.icedove folder, which is not very efficient and not flexible at all...
I recently reduced my /home by shrinking the LV and creating a new FS on /home. By this I deleted all data in /home of course, which is no problem. Though when I start Icedove now, I can't get past the welcome screen.
There is an input field to search for a provider for a new free mail account and 2 more buttons to either use an existing account or skip the whole wizard.
No matter what I enter or what button I press, the welcome wizard window stays put. Nothing works. Clicking the buttons turns them dark for the moment but nothing happens.
I did a Code: Select alldpkg-reconfigure on the package, have removed Icedove with apt's purge option, deleted the cached installation .deb etc., did an autoclean and so on... but no way to get past this welcome wizard at the startup.
The only way to get out there is to kill the process.
Debian Jessie
Iceweasel 38.2.0
Icedove 31.8.0
Iceweasel and Icedove spontaneously crash, sometimes individually, sometimes together. Upon restart they will both run, but the amount of time they run before crashing again decreases with each crash. The way to extend use of these programs is to reboot Debian. (I typically run my computer 24/7 to run community service programs.)
How do I get these programs to run without spontaneously crashing?
I'm using icedove with the calendar extension. Since quite some time there is a pending update from 31.7 to 31.8 which is held back by apt:

Seems like the problem lies with the package libvpx1. The correct version (>= 1.3) seems to be installed but under the name libvpx2.
Code: Select all> sudo apt install icedove
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
icedove : Depends: libvpx1 (>= 1.3.0) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

What can be done, or should the dependency in the icedove package be updated?
This began after I deleted my gnome configuration files. I logged out, logged back in, and Firefox and Icedove autostarted like they are supposed to. Firefox asked me if I wanted it to be the default browser, (which it was before), and I indicated yes. Now, whenever I click links in Icedove, a new Firefox window (rather than a new tab) opens and loads my homepage instead of the correct website. I've tried changing my default browser and then changing it back with xfce settings; Icedove opens links in Firefox regardless of the default browser setting. I've tried various changes to the setting
/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http (and https) with gconf-editor:
/opt/firefox/firefox-bin %s (this was the setting when I first opened gconf-editor)
/opt/firefox/firefox-bin "%s"
/opt/firefox/firefox-bin "%u"
/opt/firefox/firefox-bin "%U"
None had any effect.I know that the urls in my e-mails are not the problem because the correct site loads when I copy and paste them.
I am recent convert from Arch GNU/Linux after deciding that it's free software or bust. I'm enamored by your project (free software + large user base + stable releases supported for many years = precious, one-of-a-kind distro) and hope I can soon start contributing.
Anyway, I'm on Debian 8.4 with MATE, only main repo enabled, all packages up-to-date. I turn on ibus (via a keyboard shortcut that runs "ibus-daemon -dx") when I need to type in Portuguese or Esperanto. When I'm done, I quit ibus either by right-clicking its tray icon and choosing "quit" or by using a keyboard shortcut to "killall ibus-daemon". Unfortunately, regardless of how I quit ibus, iceweasel and icedove crash every time ibus quits.
I tried running ibus with "ibus-daemon -d" instead of the above command. Now there are no crashes when I quit ibus BUT iceweasel and icedove ignore ibus altogether (i.e., I cannot type special characters--keyboard input is as if ibus were off).
How to start and stop ibus in a way that both a) causes it to work in all applications including iceweasel and icedove AND b) iceweasel and icedove don't crash when ibus quits?
I am having trouble getting evolution to work properly with my imap server. It won't show any messages. Icedove works fine, though. I'd rather use evolution because of the calendar. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. The IMAP server is hosted by network solutions. I have screenshots of both clients. I've blacked out a few things for privacy.
Here are screenshots of evolution as configured:

View 4 Replies View RelatedRunning Jessie 8.2 and Icedove 38.4.0. I just applied some updates and now Icedove only displays the number of unread messages in the folders.
Previously, it displayed the number of unread and the total number of messages in neat columns. Now it is a single number of unread in parens.
Is there any way I can get the display back to the previous format of unread# and total#?

I'm using Thunderbird 3.1.6 with Enigmail 1.1.2.
Thunderbird works OK, but if I try to create an encrypted message, I get an error saying that the Enigmime module is not available. When I checked the Enigmail 'About Open PGP' details, it showed the following message:

I run Mythbuntu. Relevant to this thread, I have the following hardware: An Nforce4 onboard sound card A pcHDTV HD5500 ATSC/NTSC/ClearQAM tuner A Pinnacle PCTV HD card, also tunes ATSC/NTSC/ClearQAM Sound from the PC goes through an optical cable to a receiver for 5.1 digital / DTS audio. That's working smashingly. The digital portions of both the pcHDTV and Pinnacle cards play in realtime and record equally well. Huzzah! Additionally, the analog video capture works -- the /dev/vbi0 and vbi1 devices are there. It's the analog audio capture with which I'm having problems. With Ubuntu 10.04 and earlier the analog v4l devices were accompanied by /dev/dsp#. Now they're gone. Where'd they go?
As a side note, I know ALSA sees my video capture audio devices, as alsamixer lets me choose among the three cards -- one NVidia (set as default), and two Connexant CX8801 devices. Everything's unmuted, set to a high volume, and capture enabled. I look in /dev/snd and I see a bunch of bs I don't recognize, nor does it seem to have very intuitive naming. Just for giggles, in the Myth backend setup, I went ahead and manually set the non-existent /dev/dsp0 as the audio capture device for the pcHDTV card. Then I methodically did a ln -s /dev/snd/controlC0 /dev/dsp0, replacing controlC0 with each file in /dev/snd in turn and turning on live analog TV through the pcHDTV. No permutation worked. So then I did cat /proc/asound/devices, with the following results:
Code:
2: : timer
3: : sequencer
4: [ 0- 2]: digital audio capture
5: [ 0- 1]: digital audio playback
[code].....
I'm guessing that lines 11 and 13 refer to my pcHDTV and Pinnacle cards. With that in mind, in Myth backend setup I replaced the audio capture setting with ALSA:hw:1,0 and 2,0 respectively. Is there any way without having to go through recompiling the kernel to restore /dev/dsp functionality? If not, then how can I tell what devices are my analog audio capture devices so I can point Myth backend setup to the correct devices?
I have a folder under Inbox in an email account, let's call it folder A, under that one I have subfolder B.
I cannot move emails delivered to Inbox to B, I can however move them to A.
When attempting to move them to B I get error:OVERQUOTA, not enough disk space.
This account is barely using 10% of allocated space, and using webmail I can move the email. but it will not show in icedove.
I have checked that subfolder is indeed subscribed, and I have no problem moving email around in other accounts.
If I close IceDove and then start it again, I get the message that it's already running. Although the GUI has gone, icedove-bin is still running.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been using icedove for quite sometime. Now I feel I need to also use the flexibility that mutt allows. In such a case, is there a way that mutt can read icedove mails, maybe via some plugin or other. I do not want to do the import icedove mails to mutt as there would be duplication of metadata and space.

I have already done: update-alternatives --config x-www-browser" and choosen for Opera but this doesn't work. Is there an alternative way to tell Icedove that is must open weblinks with Opera.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI cannot seem to find the keyboard commands to unlock the desktop in Debian Squeeze. What happens, is that when I try to open attachments in Icedove, without fail, the whole desktop locks up. I cannot access the terminal, as the mouse is frozen. In older versions, I used to use Ctrl Alt Backspace, on the keyboard and simply restart the desktop, but that command has no effect when using Squeeze apparently. I am running the amd 64 bit version if that helps at all.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using Squeeze and icedove and iceweasel and I've installed the package linux-image-2.6.36-2.dmz.2-liquorix-686. It works fine on my Dell 1521 Inspiron laptop with only one exception. If I'm surfing the web or checking my mail via a wired internet connection I'm fine... if I'm surfing the web or checking my mail via a wifi connection everything is fine... but if I happen to forget to connect to a wifi connection, and I'm in a situation where a wired connection is not available, I can start iceweasel (it doesn't do anything constructive), but checking my mail with icedove (simply starting the program) crashes my computer.
If I boot up with the 2.6.32-5 kernel, the one that's in the regular debian repository, I can not duplicate the crash. Somewhere I read that the liquorix kernels are optimized for a desktop computer. Is this my problem? Is it something else?
During the crash my screen goes to a text console and I see syslogd messages on the screen -- which I cannot reproduce here.
My system is Debian Jessie,KDM,the icedove version is 38.6.0.
I used the Theme Font &Size Changer 44.2 add-on to configure the mail list font size.
I have 2 users,the add-on only worked well on one user. For another user,it could installed, but didn't show on the main view and could not set font size either.
I would like to have Icedove display the number of unread messages in the task/window bar when both active or minimized; note I am not interested in a system tray solution just yet. There must be a hack to do this right? Would it involve recompiling Icedove?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI use LXDE and in the "preferred applications" I set icedove and iceweasel as preferred mail and internet applications but when I click on an e-mail link(craigslist in my case) not only does Icedove not open, but in Iceweasel HUNDREDS of blank tabs open up rapidly and it is difficult to kill the program. This is unlike any problem I've ever encountered so I'm not going to pretend I have a clue here. As I am familiar with Thunderbird in an other distro I would prefer to stay with IceDove.
View 9 Replies View Relatedafter an upgrade today (it's been about a week since last upgrade), synaptics forgot all settings I've set in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi, although the file is still there. I can re-enable the desired settings via gsynaptics (more or less, because gsynaptics doesn't give me the option of two finger horizontal scrolling but that's no big deal), however after a restart it forgets the settings as well. There are some synaptics-related errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but I don't understand them. Here's the snippet (the second half is maybe not synaptics-related but mouse-related, I'm not sure):

I have a problem with my Debian 8 installation. This morning I was playing around with libvirt and virt-manager while I was routinely installing updates using apt-get. While doing that, my system crashed (probably because of the running Win8 VM). After resetting (in hardware), I got access to the emergency console where I tried executing "dpkg --configure -a" which worked.
After restarting, I first noticed that the login screen background (just the normal Jessie one on LXDM) was missing and the screen was black instead. After logging in, I saw that nearly every image/icon/whatever is missing. For example:
- the icons in lxpanel (I use LXDE)
- the copy and paste icons nearly everywhere
- the New Tab icon in Firefox
- many more icons
- the desktop and login background
A few images are still there:
- interestingly, the lxpanel icons are replaced by "icon missing" icons which still work
- most icons in Firefox except for New Tab
- all images of LibreOffices (so this problem might be Gtk+ only)
Some programs don't work (obviously because they can't load their menu icons and don't a fallback). An example for this would be Inkscape. It crashes at start:
Code: Select all(inkscape:2513): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'document-open' for stock: Format der Bilddatei unbekannt
(inkscape:2513): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'document-open' for stock: Format der Bilddatei unbekannt
(inkscape:2513): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'document-open' for stock: Format der Bilddatei unbekannt
[Code] .....
Note: I use a German system. "Format der Bilddatei unbekannt" means something like "Format of image file is unknown", "Bildtyp 'xpm' wird nicht unterstützt" means "xpm image type is not supported".
Concerning the desktop background, I looked at /etc/alternatives/desktop-background and found a correct SVG image which was the one I had before.
How I could restore these images?
Every time I install Jessie, I also install gufw as a graphical firewall frontend for desktop users, but I've also always had to create my own menu icon because the default one never showed up. I opened up the .desktop file today and took a look to see why it was never displayed in Gnome.
There was a line next to the bottom that basically told it to only appear in Unity. Deleting this line allowed it to appear in the Gnome menu. My question is this. Why is this line even in here?

I am testing LXDE on my test-laptop and it looks quite nice and fast. I am thinking of switching DE from Gnome.
My question: are there features in Gnome that are missing in LXDE? I can not think of any, so far. The only thing I miss so far is a possibility to edit the menu, as the menu is huge
