Ubuntu :: Evolution And Empathy Not Working Properly?

Jun 7, 2010

I recently upgraded to Lucid Lynx. I hadn't used Evolution before so I don't know what exactly is supposed to happen but its not showing any of my mails. I entered in my hotmail account but its just now showing any mails and when I click on Send/Receivet asks me for my password but when I type it in, it still doesn't work.Empathy is also not working properly. I could sync my facebook chat account with it but in the broadcast accounts option my facebook page just doesn't get updated.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 - Empathy, Evolution, Gwibber Don't Start Automatically Anymore

Apr 30, 2010

Just did a fresh install of 10.04, everything working great, and I was pretty excited about the integration with gwibber, evolution, and empathy. I was fiddling around, getting things the way I wanted them (startup programs and such), and upon a test restart, noticed that unlike the first couple of times I had restarted with 10.04, the Evolution icon no longer came up in the tray, and my "Me" menu was useless - didn't have me signed in to Gwibber or Empathy, didn't give the option to do so.

Yes, I can still run these programs no problem, and I could probably get it such that they ran at the start... but what I would like is for them to run minimized, in the tray, like they did the first time I booted up 10.04. Again, I trust this is a mere couple of lines in the command prompt, I just don't know what they are.

Ubuntu :: Bin Application Failed To Start Properly

Nov 27, 2010

I accidentally deleted my bin just after booting up when the bin application failed to start properly. I can still send items to trash (right clicking and select from drop down menu) but I cannot restore them, see the bin icon or drag items to the bin area. It is quite annoying and I would be very grateful for comprehensive instructions on how to restore the bin to full operational functionality.

Ubuntu :: 11.04 Does Not Start Properly After Clean Install

May 13, 2011

Just did a clean 11.04 install, however, Ubuntu doesn't start properly, it usually stops when it gets to the purple screen, the screen with the word Ubuntu and a few red dots underneath it to show it is loading. The system usually stops there or stops before getting to that screen. I was able to start in the 'safe mode' though.

Ubuntu :: X Won't Start / Screen Not Configured Properly

Aug 6, 2010

Yesterday, I tried to get two monitors working by editing xorg.conf. When it failed, I tried using my old xorg.conf, but that didn't work either. dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg did not work (it literally did nothing). Uninstalling and re-installing xserver-xorg did not work.So now I have zero working monitors instead of two. Xorg.0.log says something about "Screen was found, but doesn't work with existing setup." Anyway, I am less concern with the specific problem I am having than with the general way to fix problems with X. I read somewhere that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't work anymore, but I haven't figured out what I'm supposed to use in place of it when X won't start.

Ubuntu / Apple :: 400mHz IMac Won't Start Properly?

Nov 6, 2010

I have a 400mHz clear blue iMac here that I recieved from a friend. It was being used by an art center to display one letter as part of a sign. For some stupid reason, they put Debian on there for that. Whatever.I wanted to put some type of linux on it (not sure yet what kind) but since the Ubuntu Forums are awesome, I figured I'd use this resource instead of signing up for something new.

When I plug in the iMac and press the power button, it lights up with a green LED. Next, I hear the CRT screen power up. (with that nice satisfying crackle) followed by a loud, "Boop!" I do not see the screen light up, nor does it react to a keyboard, mouse, or monitor hooked up with the VGA on the back. It takes CDs in (which I found out) but does not give them back. (so rude.)

OpenSUSE :: GroupWise 8.0.2 Won't Properly Start / Fix It?

Jan 4, 2011

I just installed GroupWise 8.0.2 and I want to use it as a pop (and if possible) exchange client. It's been a while but I remember that if you don't want to use a GroupWise server you just needed to select 'Caching Mailbox Path' and give it an existing path. If I do that now it just keeps asking for the hostname of the GroupWise server.

Is this a bug or is this feature disabled?

I am running OpenSUSE 11.3 64-bit gnome

Ubuntu Installation :: Server Won't Start Properly - Goes To Initramfs Prompt

May 31, 2010

I'm trying to install ubuntu-10.04-server-i386 in Virtualbox on Windows XP Home (for use as a Drupal development server) using the instructions here [URL]... the Ubuntu server will not start properly. Instead it goes to an initramfs prompt as follows

[code]...

Another thread suggested typing 'exit' after a while but it just repeats the same output. It seems the root disk doesn't exist. I allowed the installer to set up partitions to its own recommendation (Guided?) although I'm not entirely sure what it did - I think there are two partitions but you guys will know that. The host disk is SATA. The CPU is a dualcore but I've only enabled one CPU on the guest within Virtualbox. Also, I had to enable PAE mode as without it Virtualbox crashed every time I started the guest. PAE wasn't mentioned in the instructions mentioned above. I've tried changing the various other disk parameters in Virtualbox (without fully understanding them) but no luck. I also ran run the boot info script from a desktop LiveCD and the results are given below.

Ubuntu :: Can't Start Desktop If User Wasn't Properly Logged Off - 10.04

Jul 14, 2010

10.04, clean installs, running Gnome or LXDE.

IF
- a logged-on user wasn't properly logged off
- the system is restarted
- the same user attempts to log in

[Code].....

This seems repeatable, and happened on 2 different PCs.

When logged into Gnome as another user and trying to sudo a backup of the borked user's home before attempting a repair, a ".gvfs" file is reported "in use" and can't be copied.

It happened to me quite a few times, due to crash or more often power failure, or my sudo-errors. I now keep a few spare virgin sudo-enabled cloned accounts just in case one dies that way.

Fedora :: Firefox And Thunderbird Would Not Start Properly

Jan 10, 2010

I just upgraded my laptop from fedora 10 to 12, in spite of all kinds of hassles I am nearly able to use the system. Except I noticed that whenever I connect to the ethernet via NetworkManager, both of firefox(3.5.6) and thunderbird(3.0) won't start a window and there is no error output. The programs just hang there so that I have to kill them explicitly. The strange thing is that if I just disconnect the network then they can start up without problem. I can then reconnect to the network and both of them work fine.

General :: How To Properly Start Gvfs Without Gnome

Jan 2, 2011

I have a Debian testing box with Xfce (no Gnome, no Nautilus). It has all gvfs-related stuff installed, including all backends and fuse interface. But any attempts to gvfs-mount anything (like sftp://... or smb://...) fail with error opening file: Operation not supported, and gigolo shows only 'unix device (file)' in the list of supported protocols.My ~/.gvfs has rwx permissions, and I'm a member of fuse group; other fuse-related stuff works for me.

Ubuntu Installation :: Reset Update Manager To Start Updating Properly?

Apr 17, 2010

I am having problems with my newly upgraded 9.10 distribution that keeps locking up. I had started a thread on that but along the way, I noticed another problem with the Update manager. I posted the following text in the same thread but realized that I must start a newer thread since it has its own issues (so sorry if you see this text in my other thread).I had upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 with ISO image and then to 9.10 with ISO image. In between, I did not reset anything in the Update manager (the upgrades were within one day of each other). Since the computer was connected to network during upgrades, I also let it fetch any newer packages as it needed them.

After the upgrade, I started having system lock ups and it requires hard boot. I tried to check for any updates using Update Manager. It reported that system was up-to-date. However, I noticed in the Settings that cdrom was selected in Sources (perhaps because I had upgraded with ISO image). I unselected the cdrom and tried to update the packages. Since I upgraded using ISO image, there is some problem here about recognizing the repository perhaps. Do you think my problem may have stemmed from upgrading twice using ISO images and not resetting the Update Manager in some fashion in between? Although the system did fetch upgraded packages during upgrades. How can I reset the update manager to start updating properly? Perhaps Authentication is an issue?Of course, I am still having trouble with lock up.

Slackware :: Bluetooth Manager - Blueman Cannot Start Properly

Debian Multimedia :: Compiz Refuses To Auto Start Properly (with Gnome)

Apr 16, 2011

How to get compiz to auto-start. What seems to be the generally accepted method (from what a few google searches and the debian wiki tell me) of using gconf-editor and changing the window manager from 'gnome-wm' to 'compiz' in desktop > gnome > session > required_components doesn't change anything. The only method I found that did not involve using a terminal and running 'compiz --replace' every time I boot the computer was to add compiz and fusion-icon to the gnome startup apps, but this causes unwanted flickering (it starts metacity and then replaces it with compiz, ie it's simply automating what I would do with the terminal). Autostarting the fusion-icon alone does not start compiz, although it allows me to start it from it's menu if I right click the icon. Note that I sometimes use fluxbox as well, so starting it on boot isn't really an option either.

Perhaps this can be useful :
compiz:
Installed: 0.8.4-4
Candidate: 0.8.4-4
gnome-session:
Installed: 2.30.2-3
Candidate: 2.30.2-3

Ubuntu :: Messages Are Not Sent On MSN By Empathy?

Apr 22, 2010

You can find this bug here: [URL]and here: [URL]

Sometimes Empathy is not sending my messages to my contacts on MSN. There are no warning messages of this, so it's really annoying. I have to disconnect and reconnect to MSN to resolve the issue. After the bug occurs no message is sent to that contact, but I can communicate with others.

In my case I see no correlation between the length of the message and the bug occurring, it seems to appear randomly.

I am using Empathy 2.30.0.1 on Ubunutu 10.04 RC

Ubuntu :: Empathy Emoticons ?

Ubuntu :: Empathy MSN Won't Log In But Signs In Anyway?

Mar 2, 2011

I'm having problems with the Empathy MSN on Ubuntu 10.10.I have searched the web but haven't found anything particular about this.I'm trying to log in but it stays on "Connecting" forever, doesn't go anywhere else.But it's still logging in, how do I know that?When I'm on msn on my other computer (which runs W7) and I try to log in into Empathy, I get signed out from my W7 MSN. This happens because I happen to log in from another place. In this case, that means that Empathy is logging me in, but it's still stucks on "Connection".

Ubuntu :: Empathy Has No Menu Bar On Startup

Jan 23, 2010

I have Empathy set to start when I login, and when I turn off my computer, it is always still running. I also usually have Evolution, Liferea, and Rhythmbox running. All of these applications usually work fine the next day when I turn on my computer. However, for the last few days, Empathy has been starting without a menu bar. In one instance, Rhythmbox was also menubar-less. Now, Empathy is always without a menu bar. If I ever need the menu bar, I have to restart Empathy. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? I am unable to provide a terminal output since this application starts up with my computer. I have provided a screenshot of Empathy. I think I have a faint idea of why Empathy is without a menu bar. I read something somewhere about an XML file that contained the menu bar contents. I think that since I shut off my computer without closing these applications, that file has been corrupted. I have no idea why everything works fine once I restart Empathy, though. If you cannot answer this question, perhaps you could tell me if it is safe to shutdown Ubuntu with applications still running. In OS X, it will automatically tell your applications to quit safely, then turn of the computer. I hope Ubuntu doesn't just force quit any open applications. I am using Ubuntu 9.04 32 bit with the latest updates. I am using Empathy 2.26.1.
