Google recently announced the availability of GMail Video Chat for linux! This is great news :-) But the sad part is that the plugin has been released only for Ubuntu and Debian based systems! So the thing is we have a .deb. Is there a way we could get the .rpm for installation? I tried using alien but sad enough, the generation of the rpm file fails for no reason what soever.
View 2 RepliesI'm a huge fan of Linux in general and Ubuntu in particular. But until there is a more user friendly microphone/video experience, Ubuntu has no real hope of achieving significant desktop market share, something I dearly want to see. Every install of Ubuntu I've tried in the past few years has had maddening problems in this area. I've spent hours trawling forums, fiddling with Alsa settings, disabling and re-enabling options, installing various packages, all to no avail.
Buy any Windows based laptop or Mac and the integrated mic and webcam will generally work first time. My other half recently bought a Macbook, and the video experience was completely seamless. I've recently completely ditched Windows, and feel utterly liberated, but I could only do this as I have access to a Mac for videochat. Videochat is not a luxury, it's a must have for most users. I'm aware of some of the various issues behind the problem, but surely Canonical can muster enough geeks to fix sound and video. This sums it up pretty well: Why do No Serious Musicians use Linux?
I would like to send emails form my server using my gmail account.Does anybody know how to do it?
OS = OPENSUSE 11.3 server installation - NO GUI....
use any browser and go to gmail. i can't get gmail to load. if i browse on videos, links to videos don't work. they appear to be taking a long time to buffer, then a message appears saying to try again. sometimes, links on google search pages are all dead. yahoo mail loads as far as logging me in, then i get a page with all dead links.
i'm using a laptop at several locations that have free public wifi. at some places, everything works perfectly normally. at other places, google and yahoo are almost useless. the "bad" places work just fine under ms windows.
so i figure it's a networking/handshaking issue, but that's all i can figure. i need help to troubleshoot it further. if it's happening to me, it has to be happening to other people, and i consider it a major hassle.
My college internet providers shifted to a different setting.. defined in the changing lan proxy settings on the user end. I.e.ip - 192.168.0.200 and port to 3000. This to reduce misuse of the net connection ..The thing is, since then, every other website is working, except GMail. It isnt blocked, the Nebero page shows up for blocked sites. When attempting to open gmail, the default internet page shows up for unavailability of page owing to no or slow response from the server, or the firewall or proxy settings not appropriately configured. I cannot open gmail, the connection on empathy im. I cant ping gmail either. No response. What can be the problem.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have evolution set up to send emails using gmail's smtp server. I've always been able to do it with no problems, but a couple of days ago I stopped being able to send emails to gmail accounts. I can send emails to other addresses but not gmail. The same happens with my wife's laptop with ubuntu. The only thing I can think of is that we recently moved and thus changed ISP, but I don't see how that's preventing us to send mails specifically to gmail accounts...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a lot of emails on hotmail and gmail that I want to store in text or html files on my local Fedora computer for future reference. Is there a way I can download them to my hard drive without doing it one email at a time with the browser's Save Page As feature or some such thing? There has to (?) be a better way.
Every mail program should have an easy-to-use 'mass' export-to-text-file feature so that people are not held hostage to a particular email service or program. The lack of such a feature in email programs I've used is one of my pet peeves. It seems rather tyrannical and abusive. (Now before someone tells me it's a free service, please remember all the advertisements I have to go through to use the service). I do not have an email account through an ISP. I live with my landlord who deals with the ISP. I only use hotmail and gmail (and, rarely, yahoo).
I use fedora 13 now. I want to try mutt, but I don't know how to make it work.so I search by Google, Then,I add a .fetchmailrc in my home directory as below:
set daemon 60
set logfile /home/kenifanying/.fetchlog
poll pop.gmail.com
protocol POP3
user "abc@gmail.com"
password "123456"
ssl
sslcertck
sslcertpath /home/kenifanying/.certs/
There are two files named gmail.pem and Equifax_Secure_CA.pem in ~/.certs/ I create these two files like this: First, I retrieve the Gmail certificate provided by the Gmail pop server: $ openssl s_client -connect pop.gmail.com:995 -showcerts
[Code]....
I'm try to connect to pop.gmail.com via openssl usingopenssl s_client -connect pop.gmail.com:995and i always have one error socket: Connection refusedconnect:errno=29what can i do to make it work?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am running Fedora Core 8 as my mail and proxy server. My mail works properly for all users, but the problem I'm having is that when I create an alias for user's email to be forwarded to their gmail, the ISP bounces the mail. My ISP has given me an open relay to send mail.Is there somewhere in sendmail that I could put the user name and password of the ISP, so that the ISP will not bounce the forwarded mail. Or is there something that I'm missing?

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis used to work in Fedora < 15. Whenever I want to send an e-mail using Gmail's SMTP server for the first time in a given session, the KWallet system asks if I would not rather migrate the password and store it encrypted inside a wallet. Every time I concur and every time an error message pops-up, as soon as I try and send another e-mail. The attached snapshot shows the error message I get. It doesn't matter how many times I select "Store Password". Every time the ordeal is the same. Up to Fedora 14 this method worked all right, but now it fails.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two partitions on my laptop. One which I only use for shopping and logging into bank website which has xubuntu 8.04/firefox 3.0.x and another partition which has ubuntu 9.10/firefox 3.5.6 which I use for programming and mucking about with networking.
I decided for extra security and because I would create a google mail account for my ubuntu 9.10. I created the google mail account in the xubuntu 8.04 partition with no problems logging into the google webiste.
I then booted into the ubuntu 9.10 partition and set up evolution to receive emails from my google mail account. I have sent and receive emails. When I tried to log into the google mail account to amend settings, after a while it comes up with a connection error.
* I don't have skype plugin
* I emptied cache and removed cookies
* I deleted firefox profile in $HOME/.mozilla
* Disabled all add-ons (I only have noscript, imglikeopera, adlock plus and the ubuntu firefox extensions)

I installed epiphany web-browser and still was unable to log in to gmail.
Although I can log into my 8.04 parition to access gmail from the web, I would prefer to be able to do this via my 9.10.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've spent ages trying to get evolution & Gmail to talk to each other. Whenever I press Send/receive it tries then I get 'Error while Scanning folders in "IMAP server imap.gmail.com" '. I've tried changing the ports etc, deleting the account from evolution and redoing it. I've looked thru various forums and walkthroughs. I've checked that the right password is stored in the keyring. I'm sure all my settings are right, but evolution can neither sync with my inbox nor send emails.
I have synced my google contacts and calendar with evolution, however. I use my Gmail on a variety of devices so I don't want to use POP and in any case SMTP isn't working either. I'm running ubuntu 10.04 on an acer 5738 thru a not particularly fast ADSL connection.
I have trouble logging in to some pages: gmail and www.alpha.gr.

This is not the solution I want to follow however
View 6 Replies View RelatedIt's been two weeks now since I can't have my inbox checked on Docky's Gmail applet, and its a drag because I need an integrated mail notification and Docky is perfect.
So, here are the facts:
- have tried it on both 10.04 i386 and 10.10 amd64, identical problem
- after new installation works on till the first reboot, then stops. You see just the icon and when clickin "refresh" there's no "turning circle thingy inside the icon" which tells you it's refreshing. (and there's mail in the inbox).
- I haven't managed to find the docky configuration file, only something in the cache and configuration directory in home. Where is the real configuration file for Docky?
I'm talking about the 2.1 version.
