Since upgrading to Lucid, the "Check GMail" icon in the system tray doesn't fit in to the Lucid colour scheme (see screenshot).
The preferences offer a "Set Tray Background" option, but this doesn't seem to make a difference. Anyone had this problem and managed to sort it out?
I have been trying to configure the mailcheck in gkrellm to check and notify for new mail on my gmail account. I have activated pop of course...
These are the pop info taken from gmail:
Quote:
Server for incoming mail (IMAP) - needs SSL: imap.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 993
Server outgoing mail (SMTP) - needs TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use verification)
Use verifiering: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes(some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Is there a way to set empathy check for gmail mails? I use a google talk account and it makes sense to me, that, if I am already logged into gmail, check the mail as well. Pidgin and gtalk have this option, but I can't find it in empathy. I know there are plenty of gmail notification apps, but I just don't see the point of having to install another app that logs into the same account to check the mails...
View 2 Replies View Relatedso far 10.04 is great.. coming over from Fedora.. liking what I see... however, question..
Is there any way to get the default mail icon in the top right corner to notify of new mail in gmail? I found an app that does it, gmail notifier or something.. but seems redundant to have 2 mail icons when 1 would do the job.. but not sure how I'd configure it. I see that I can set up evolution but.. I've got tens of thousands of messages on gmail, and it would take wayyy too long to download.. I'd rather it just notify me of new mail and open a browser to gmail when I click it or something like that. So, any way of doing this?
What are the Gmail Notifier Check Interval units? Would they be in milliseconds?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm using Google Chrome & Arch Linux x86.When I try to log in to my Gmail to check my Email I get this;Quote:The webpage at "A very long URL" might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.And when I click on 'more information about this error' I get this;
Code:
Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): Unknown error.
I've updated openssl and have both SSL 2.0 and 3.0 enabled in options and I still can't log in
I've been searching around for a way to do this, but none of the solutions I find seem applicable to Lucid. Is there, like, a Terminal command to change the alignment of desktop icons?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI use 10.04 Lucid on my Dell mini10v netbook, it works fine, but the network status icon is broken. When i connect to my wired network, the icon correctly changes to the 2 "arrows" that show that the wired connection is active. But when i dissconnect the wired network, and i connect to my wireless one (or any wireless network), the icon has the "X" (not connected) mark, even thoug the network IS properly connected (i can access internet, local network, etc).
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have updated from Karmic to Lucid not long ago, and everything went smooth and my system is been working like a charm for about a month. And it still does, with the only issue being that every time I restart my system, one of my partitions is checked.
My disk is split into 4 partitions:
sda1, NTFS for windows
sda2, ext4 for "/"
sda3, ext2 for /home
sda4, swap
Now what seems to happen is that sda3 is being marked as "not clean" on every shutdown, which makes me assume that is not being umounted at all.
I've been reading logs, commenting network drives out on fstab.. nothing does the trick.
I've booted into single mode and run e2fsck (which doesn't find anything wrong, and marks the FS as "clean") and then rebooted. The result is: if the FS wasn't mounted when I restart, then I get a clean boot once, but it is checked on the following one; if it was mounted then it is again checked at start-up.
Again, all points to the problem being that the FS is not cleanly umounted on shut-down.
I could not find any log with info of the processes killed and FS umounted at shut-down, so if anybody knows where to look, it could be a good start.
I have just upgraded from Karmic to Lucid and have an issue with the login screen. It defaulted to show the edubuntu logo. this is probably because I tested the edubuntu packages on my system and it thought it was a edubuntu system.
I went into /usr/share/pixmaps/splash and replaced the edubuntu-splash.png file with the Ubuntu logo png (i renamed the file).
Unfortunately this did not work and now I have a login screen with a "no image" icon.
i know that the evolution icon on the panel is part of the indicators stuff, but is there any way to remove the evolution icon without removing the indicators? maybe configuring the indicator stuff to not show evolution? i looked into removing evolution, but it seems to be really embedded.

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.

I've installed Office 2007 under wine, and would like to add launchers for Word, Excel, etc to the Unity launcher bar.
So, I've created a launcher on the Desktop that will run Word with wine. I've changed the icon to the Word Icon and everything works great from the desktop. If I drag that launcher to the Unity bar, it adds it, but changes the icon to the springboard default icon that new launchers use. Please see attached picture.
As a side note, I am really starting to like Unity (puts on flamesuit), but it seems very easy to break the install of 11.04. I've had to reinstall 4 times now.
Ive had a few freeze ups on this system but the last time it affected the top panel.The wireless icon has disappeared to be replaced by an extra bluetooth icon.screenshot attached.Is there any kind of clean up utility (like tune up utilities in win)Also, any kind of log so I can trace this freeze up Iḿ getting.Ive only just got this laptop so dont know if it did it before although prev owner never mentioned it.

I have d/l and am using an icon theme I got from gnome-look. I like all the icons except for a few, specifically the trash, and would like to change them but I can't figure out how. I d/l an empty and full trash icon. I looked in the /home/username/.icons/themename folder and found the two trash icons that came with the theme (they were in ~/.icons/themename/scalable/places). Changed the names of the ones I d/l and replaced those current ones with them.how to do this? I would also like to change the Menu Bar icon back to the gnome foot.
