I first started KMail and entered the wrong stuff. Now it's all messed up and I don't know how to fix it. Is there a way to completely purge KMail and make it act as if it was first opened?
View 6 RepliesI have been using kmail on opensuse (11.2) for about 3 months with few issues. I usually launch using alt+F2, type "kma" and it appears top of the list. I have turned on my laptop today and kmail has simply disappeared. I have gone through the ghekko and the only mail client listed is thunderbird. It is not in the alt+F2 menu. If I type kmail in konsole I get the "if kmail is not a typo" speech. I've also tried using kontact (for the first time) to see if my mail appears there

I went to remove FreeNX from my Ubuntu Lucid machine so I opened the terminal and typed: "sudo aptitude purge freenx" The command worked but when I used the command "locate nx" I got a list of FreeNX associated files (as well as nxserver files). Is it possible to completely remove a program from my system? I thought "sudo aptitude purge" would do it but apparently not. My only concern is that in the future if I decide to install something related to this program it will interfere and cause problems.
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen upgrading to Maverick I accidentally (yes, I know, my bad) installed Grub to my Ubuntu partition instead of to the MBR. It was already installed to the MBR prior to this. So, when I rebooted all I got was the Grub rescue console. I loaded the Linux image with a different boot loader on floppy instead, and proceeded to uninstall and reinstall Grub2 to MBR with
Code:
sudo apt-get purge grub-common grub-pc
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda
sudo update-grub
However, on restart I now get the regular Grub console, but not the selection screen to select what to boot. This even though all Linux kernel images and the Windows 7 partition I have was found during the reinstall. So, seems I need to do a complete purge of Grub from both MBR and sda3 (which is the Ubuntu partition i accidentally chose on upgrade), and start over clean. Question is then, how do I do it, line by line from the terminal?
I'm running evolution 2.30.3 in ubuntu 10.10, with unity desktop, and I can't find the "purge" option for the tasks. As it disappeared or is it just me not finding it ? Also, while I'm here, I understand that unity is still in development. Where can I report the issues I notice while running it ?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAre there some effective tools to purge the system of unused libs/pkg and other files?Till now I found localepurge (i do not remember where i found it) which does some trick, but I am sure there is a lot of other things laying around in Slack with no real reason to be there in some minimal installation.I found also unsuedpkg in google.code, but it does nothing on a fresh system.Such question won't rise if Slack team wouldn't be forgetting about Slack's significance in server segment and putting big efforts in "deskopisation" of it. I'd be happy seeing directories like xlibs/ and mm_stuff/ where all x related libs and multimedia related ehhh... files could go (I hope developers will see this message).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a webserver WWW1 and a front-facing proxy PRX. I use SSH ProxyCommand to connect to WWW1's internal IP (private IP) via PRX (private+public IP). For some connections (not all) I see a network connection left open after I'm finished. These add up!
~/.ssh/config
Host *
ServerAliveInterval 5
ControlMaster auto
[code]....
On PRX, lsof | grep WWW1:ssh shows 124 open connections at the moment. On WWW1, the same command shows 243 open connections. There are similar open connections for WWW2, WWW3 etc.
WWW1 and PRX are Debian. Client connections are coming from a mix of Debian, Ubuntu and OSX10.6. I use Emacs Tramp but this has no special configuration (AFAIK) outside of my ~/.ssh/config. I'm concerned about running out of internal ports, and ideally I want these connections to clean themselves up without intervention. Ideally by configuring them to kill themselves off; failing that a command I can kill old processes with is fine!
Did a fresh install of 10.04 Desktop 86_64 this weekend. One of the first issues I noticed right away was that apt was not function properly. Say for example you install the packages tor and vidalia (assume I'm running everything from root). #apt-get install tor vidalia This command will check and install necessary dependencies, for example 'privoxy'. Now if you decide that you don't want to use privoxy and instead use polipo, you would probably feel inclined to remove privoxy. Well I found that apt-get autoremove, apt-get remove, apt-get purge WILL NOT remove all the files/directories associated with the package. You'll find that after running each of these commands, there will still be directories, scripts, etc. in /etc/init, /etc, and /etc/rc*.d. The only solution I've found to completely removing a package is aptitude purge [package].

I have searched around a bit and am having difficulty purging blockcontrol off my system. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS i686 version. I have been able to remove some of the programs attached to blockcontrol but cannot remove blockcontrol. The synaptics package manager and console root access will not rip out blockcontrol. I want the entire Moblock/Blockcontrol set off the system.

I've setup two printers through a system running Ubuntu server that are shared with 30-40 users on our school network.
If the printers run out of ink or paper, they stop printing. The lazier members of staff don't proceed to recharge the ink or paper so when somebody does, hours later, the old jobs start printing again which the teachers no longer need or want.
I'd like to automatically have my system purge print jobs older than 1 hour. I'm running CUPS and sharing the printers through SAMBA. How do I do this?
writing a script that would keep the last three versions of tcpdump files.Due to the version of tcpdump I must use -C and cannot use -G. Using -C generates a new file after X MB's have been written and adds a .x after each new one. The problem is that these files are filling up the disk too quickly. The main part of the script will kill tcpdump when a certain condition is met but in the meantime I need to purge and only keep say the three last iterations of the dump file. So for example, there is dump.pcap.1, dump.pcap.2, dump.pcap.3, dump.pcap.4 and dump.pcap.5. I'd like the script to look at the datestamps and delete dump.pcap.1 and dump.pcap2 since the other three are the three newest files. comparing files based on dump.pcap.*, check the dates and only keep the three 'youngest' files?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis script simply deletes files older than a certain age (in this case 7 days) from a certain location; I use it to purge old backups nightly, and it works as expected:
# delete backups older than 7 days
find /mnt/backup/* -mtime +7 -exec rm -Rf {} ;
The problem is, every morning I get an email with an error message something like this:
find: `/mnt/backup/subfolder': No such file or directory

View 1 Replies View RelatedAt last, I am serious converting from openSUSE/KDE3.5 to openSUSE 11.2/KDE 4. Being a bit retarded in this, the following must have been solved by many.
After starting Kmail in KDE 4 I managed to see all my mails. I also managed to get my filters moved from old to new (had to go back to 3.5 to export them first).
But I still fail to see how to copy my accounts/identities, etc. It is not done automaticaly, there is no export function I could find. How to manage this?
EDIT: must be 3.5 in the title. Done by a nice mod.
On my OpenSuse 11.2 KDE 4.3.5, when I launch kmail for the first time it does not start. I have to re-launch it to get it running. By launching it from the command line, I get the message:

I am trying to configure Kmail with GPG. I followed steps described in [URL].
The official manual says:
Then click Modify > Advanced > OpenPGP Key
It will automatically go to the path of your gpgkey, that is ~/.gnupg
In reality: It does not automatically go anywhere, but provides a menu to change OpenPGP encryption key. When I click on the button to change my key it shows me a selection menu with my key in it. When I select it, the red cross appears on the icon near the key and the "OK" button remains grey, so I can not do anything. Did anybody try to configure Kmail with GPG? How do you configure Kmail to use your keys?
I have just installed Alien Bob's kde 4.4 packages as per his README instructions over a fresh install of current as of 31 Jan.
I can open a kde session but have problems with running kde applications. Non kde applications such as Firefox, Scanlite, Geany, Gopdit open fine but so far kde applications are hit or miss.
I could launch kmail but not others. Kwrite from quicklaunch gave me a "KDEInit could not launch /usr/bin/kwrite in a pop up but konqueror, dolphin, kcalc to name a few just don't launch with a click and leave no error messages.
I have tried running them from XFC's terminal and I get the following:
Quote:
bash-3.1$ dolphin
bash: /usr/bin/dolphin: cannot execute binary file
bash-3.1$ ls -l /usr/bin/dolphin

When I click the detailed progress window button in the bottom window of KMail when checking email the progress bar is see through.
See the attached for a screenshot.
I want to confirm this is just happening to me then if it isn't I can report it as a bug.
I have setup different identities in Kmail to deal with multiple gmail accounts so I have a different set of inbox, sent mail and draft folder for each account.In the message layout, I have chosen to display the columns - subject,sender/receiver and date. For one of my email accounts, kmail does the job perfectly. The inbox foler shows subject, sender and date, whereas the sent-mail folder shows subject, receiver and date. However, this order is not maintained for my other email accounts. The inbox folders show subject, sender and date(which is correct); the sent-mail folder shows subject, sender and date - instead of subject, receiver and date which is what should be displayed.
