Kmail Trouble
by Mangesh Bhalerao 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

Hi everybody I had some trouble with my previous installation of RH 8.0 so I compleatly took of backup my whole user directory ( exactly tared the whole thing) . After the second installation I put the same directory completly at its place (/home/user). Every setting what I found was intact but there was a trouble with Kmail. I setup Kmail's mail format as Maildir . At first I could see every mail atits place but when I tried to click open it I got blank document and inthe subject field in the list I found the subject field of the accessed mail as "No subject". That means it completly got vanished even after the backup ! Is there any one who can help me out to find some way out of this trouble. Thanking you in advance.

experiences with the upcoming kernel 2.6
by linuxdev 31 May '03

31 May '03

Hi everybody, Just been testing kernel 2.5.70 on rh 9.0 with reiserfs. One thing's for sure, the final stable 2.6 is going to be a surefire cracker of a kernel. Not only is it fast (no i am stating it subjectively no tests to back it up from my side), but due the pre-emptive kernel feature for desktop along with the interactivity improvements to scheduler, the response is more than snappy. It rocks. Here's a simple "test" i carried out. On my regular kernel i was untarring the kernel tarball and at the same time i tried listening to an mp3 on xmms. Needless to say there was skipping. and even after the untar was complete there was considerable disk thrashing. Step in kernel 2.5.70. Everything works as if its the only thing running around ! The trend for this kernel is to sort of split it as for server and for desktop. You don't need, infact you will hate 2.6 if you use pre-emptive kernel feature for a server environment. However before you jump for www.kernel.org to get a tarball here's a few things that might help you along. 1. do not. i repeat do not select filesystems, ide,scsi options as modules. build them into kernel. The simple reason for this is that there are lots of issues to be ironed out in modules before the stable release. As of now there will be no new features to be added. Its more like a bug-fixing contest right now. 2. before you start whining about unresolved symbols in modules while installing take a look at the modutils available at kernel.org. i forget the link right now. The regular stock modutils do not work with newer kernel. Thats another reason to build the options into the kernel. 3. one thing i haven't got right on my i845glad mobo. alsa sound. Can't get that damned thing to work. And add to my pain every keeps praising it all the more. grrrr. Having said all this please do not blame me for any data / hair loss for any experiments you carry out with that new cracker. I simply stated my experience. ;) I could definitely help you out trying to get a stable conf for this new gizmo tho. next time around i'll post my experience with different (ext2/3/reiserfs) filesystems. cya, C Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com Buy The Best In BOOKS at http://www.bestsellers.indiatimes.com Bid for for Air Tickets @ Re.1 on Air Sahara Flights.

Interesting article on ZDnet The local government in Munich, Germany, has voted to move 14,000 computers from Microsoft's Windows to the rival Linux operating system, despite efforts by the software giant to hang onto the multimillion-dollar contract. http://www.zdnetindia.com/techzone/linuxcentre/stories/82640.html __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

How to partition?
by Royce & Sharal Pereira 29 May '03

29 May '03

Hi, I've been eager to try out Linux for a while, but never could as I just couldnt figure out the partitioning requirements. This is where I've always got stuck & given up a on Linux installation. I've got CDs of Knoppix 3.1, PCQLinux 8.0 & ELX 2.0, but I could never get past the partitioning stage with any of them. Also all published articles on installing these packages barely have a sentence relating to partitioning, which has added to the frustation. To describe my challenge simply, I have Windows C:,D:,E; & F: . F: is 11Gb, & all I want to do is to simply use this space & partition for Linux & Swap. Is that so difficult? Is it possible to get some guidance in simple English on how to do this. I need a "Select this then click on that & then click OK" kind of guidance, such as which Windows has (BTW why is Linux so much harder to install than Windows. Is Windows smarter?)Ooops, *now* I've done it!. Can any one clear the mist for me ? I'm sure no one else has has these questions! Thanks, --Royce.

I've stopped getting the LUG-Bom mail from the list. Even my question re. partitioning(which many kindly answered) did not get sent back to me thru' the list! I received the replies to my query only 'coz the mails were CCd to me as well as the list. So how did I get unsubscribed? Do I subscribe again? Thanks, --Royce.
