[gentoo-user] Anyone succeeded with kmail2?
Hello list, When kmail was upgraded to 4.9.3 last month it made a complete hash of my e- mail system. In the end I moved my user out of the way and created a new user. Importing the e-mails from a backup of the old version omitted large numbers of e-mails, including a lot of complete folders. I also noticed that kmail had not created a trash folder. So I did it again: created another new user. This time I got more messages imported but still not the whole lot (about 25,000). Still no trash. So I imported specific folders to complete the import. I tried creating a Wastebin folder manually (that's what the trash can is called in the UK) but of course that had no effect. Now I find that several filters work sometimes but not others, thus dropping e.g. this list partly into its own folder and partly into the general inbox. If I move the offending messages myself, next time I look they've been moved back again. If I delete a message, there being no trash folder, it's re-presented as a new message together with the original, and if I delete those I get four. Now in one folder I have 120 "new" messages. Is there a sane way out of this? I don't know if I can face creating yet another new user with all the drudgery that entails. -- Peter

Re: [gentoo-user] E17 lock screen
Did you try e with new config with e-17 release? Or you had some previous configs and was replaced with release. Because there was some config upgrade and old configs did not work and some was not replaced correctly (mixer gadget). And suspendig with E works ok? You use pm-suspend? Dont you have some dbus problems? As the events are send through dbus I think, for me it works even with running pm-suspend from console (E locks screen). Robert.

I also noticed that kmail had not created a trash folder. So the kdepim devs STILL haven't fixed that one? Oh dear. tldr; longish post. Short version: Use something else. It's mail, not software magic. I ran into something much the same long ago with kamil2 around the 4.3 or 4.5 era. Imports wouldn't work, akonadi was displaying essentially random mails in random folders in no special order, and I was losing mail. Eventually, after much physical and spiritual pain, I figured that what was really happening was probably akonadi importing the mail to $SOMEWHERE and $AT_SOME_RANDOM_TIME would index it properly; it would do this on the basis off $WHEN_IT_FELT_RIGHT_TO_DO_IT. This trick works awesomely well for caching thumbnails of my video collection for xbmc. It works less well for my mail. It's disastrous when the whole process is not documented, when the user has no visibility into it and no defined way of seeing what's going on, not even a progress meter. The traditional way of handling such asynchronous indexing problems is to provide an option where the user can force a re-index and the system will just chug along doing it displaying progress. If the mail app suspends itself while doing this, well that's fine, at least it ends in a reasonable time. But, kdepim at that stage had no such option. One other thing I discovered back then: if I killed akonadi & kdepim and rebooted out of sheer frustration, it would *throw* *away* all it's temporary files form $SOMEWHERE as above and corrupt it's own database. Leading to lost mail. If you just leave the damn thing alone for ages and ages it eventually sorts itself out, but you can't see how far along it is. Such shoddy alpha-quality software shipped and billed as enterprise production-ready was more than I could bear, so I just switched mail client to claws-mail. On 4.9.3 you are still experiencing something similar. Hmmm. Indicates to me a high probability of a systemic problem with the projects approach, something that is unlikely to ever get really fixed. In my opinion kdepim2 is vastly over-engineered and an attempt to solve a problem that does not actually exist. I recommend you use a different mail app. As I mentioned in the tldr, it's a mail app. There are many mail apps and none are super-special. > > So I did it again: created another new user.

Thankfully, I'm still on kmail-1.13.7 and I am dreading the time that it will no longer be available. I've used kmail for so many years now that everything else I tried has been a great disappointment for me. Last time I tried to upgrade to kmail 2 some time early last year (for the 4th time) it made exactly the mess experienced by others, like: - duplicate/multiple messages when I tried to delete them - missing/disappearing messages - inability to show anything other than the Inbox folder on IMAP4 accounts I could swear that I waited for it to sync/resync, but I didn't leave the box running overnight to see if that would fix this problem. In all but one box I am not running a full KDE enchilada, so I don't know if this has something to do with it. I just hope that new devs will eventually take over this KDEPIM farce and something sane will surface for those of us who still want/need to use a mail client. -- Regards, Mick smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

Re: [gentoo-user] Anyone succeeded with kmail2?
first of all: filtering is completely and utterly broken. You have to delete all filters whenever you add a new 'ressource' and even then they don't work most of the time. They might work if you select all mails and click 'apply filters' - or not. Bugs on b.k.o are open. Second, to import your old mails you have to add the right 'ressources'. And then pray. Oh and never delete any akonadi databases - I did it because someone wrote it would solve some problems - and lost 150 000 emails. So much joy. And now a little rant: I do not know who shat into the brains of the kdepim devs that they fucked up kmail in this unbelievable broken way. Most people do not need akonadi - or nepomuk. Everything worked GREAT. Now most shit only works half way, a lot of crap doesn't work at all - and once in a while (in my experience every 4h of runtime) Nepomuk, that utter waste of electrons starts to eat cpu-cores. But you need it! Because without it you can't search your emails! GRR -- #163933

I love claws but perhaps you should ask on the claws mailing list I thought it was too mouse heavy too but when I actually look it's very few tabs, arrows, enter and ctrl-R to reply etc. and the configurability of claws may help too, though I can't see if you can assign shortcuts to custom commands/actions. The manual says this but I can't find out how to change those shortcuts 'on the fly' myself after a quick try. I shall certainly be using the mouse less now anyway ;-) _ B. Default keyboard shortcuts B.1. Motivations and general conventions Although Claws Mail is a graphical application and can mainly be commanded with your mouse, it also requires the frequent use of the keyboard. Composing a mail is the most common of the tasks that require the use of the keyboard. For people who write a lot of mails, having to move hands from keyboard to mouse greatly reduces productivity, so Claws Mail provides keyboard shortcuts to allow faster operation. This not only benefits power users by providing keyboard alternatives and keyboard navigation, it also enables people with disabilities, (who may not be able to properly control a pointing device), to use Claws Mail. The most general convention is the Escape key. Focused dialogues or windows can be closed by hitting the Esc key. There are other key combinations which are assigned by default to menu items. We won't list these here, as they are already shown on the righthand side of the menus themselves, so you can easily learn them with usage. Furthermore, if you don't like them, these shortcuts can be changed on the fly by focusing on the menu item and pressing the desired key combination. In addition to these shortcuts there are others which vary from window to window, which are summarised in the following sections. _

[gentoo-user] udev downgrade
The thread "Ethernet Machinations" is finished and all ethernet issues are resolved. I'm starting a new thread as to deal with what to do about udev. The same system mentioned in the previous ethernet thread had become upgraded to udev-196-r1 (late one night when I was tired AND NOT THINKING TOO WELL... I have since been on a roller_coaster ride with udev, almost eudev and version dev experimentations as an accident... >From the last thread: I don't know what version of udev you're running (sorry if I missed it,) but the udev-186 elog says: "Upstream has removed the persistent-net and persistent-cd rules generator. If you need persistent names for these devices, place udev rules for them in /etc/udev/rules.d." I just sync and I have only have these versions of udev: Available versions: ~141-r1 ~146-r1^t ~149 ~151-r4 ~164-r2 171-r9 ~195^t ~196-r1^t **999 So unless somebody can give me good reason, I'm downgrading to udev-171 asap on this (only) system running udev 196... (ps, I like to experiment, but not with udev et. al.) I even thinking or running 'emerge -e system' just to ensure nothing is missed? Suggestions are most welcome.

I don't think you can turn USB port off, at best you can suspend it, which is not truly 100% powered-down. I think you might be able to power off an entire hub (and never power it back on again until reboot) but I'm not sure if that will be any better than just unplugging the cable. You might be able to build some kind of simple USB on/off switch. :) Check out /sys/bus/usb/devices/[yourdevice]/power/level for current status and you can echo different commands to that same file to attempt to change its status. Check out the power management settings and documentation in the linux kernel for your options.

And in the case of this sources package, I think nothing is being compiled anyway. It simply unpacks, patches and copies the files to /usr/src/x so I don't think either of those options ever come into play. You can manually emerge using the "ebuild" command, would be interesting to see if it makes any difference. Could be some RAM usage by emerge is just too much for your system. You may need to use ulimit to keep python from using too much RAM when you run emerge. Do you have any daemons running in the background? Could you disable any to free up more RAM as a test? I think you will need even more than 512mb swap to be honest, I have a server with 256mb of RAM and have to use 1gb of swap or else I get out of memory conditions on occasion. I think you want 1gb or more if it is possible. In this case because it's out of memory while copying files, I wonder if some of sysctl vm.* options will have influence. Kernel sources have thousands of files and maybe I/O is not fast enough. I use nice and ionice to make emerge running at the lowest priority (meaning the least important) > The possible work around I have thought of is just getting the vanilla > kernel from kernel.org, but the gentoo wiki advise against it, since > gentoo-sources is a patched kernel. You can use vanilla, no problems. Please review the genpatches patch set and determine if you use/need any of the Gentoo patches: https://dev.gentoo.org/~mpagano/genpatches/ You can also manually apply this patchset to vanilla if you like, of course. Good luck and welcome to the list! :)

It's not bad to learn the shortcuts. Plus it has a lot of great features and extensions. For CLI clients, I sometimes use Mutt.

Most routine functions can be keyboard-driven (read and fetch mail, go to next folder etc). I do find the dialogs to set up filters are "verbose" and not what I'm used to with gui apps - they work, there's is no oddities to what the filters will do, but the way to get there has never felt exactly right. > Does anyone recommend a mail client that doesn't rely too heavily on > the mouse?

I have a mixture of local (courier imap), exchange and other imap accounts. Evolution has some weird bugs and in general doesn't work when accessing some imap backends alongside other clients to the same account (emails may be deleted on my desktop, but get undeleted on next access from the laptop is one), as well as issues with its calendaring. Its frustrating, and been getting worse. As well, I am now in active gnome squashing mode since Ive decided to not buy into the whole udev/systemd/gnome3 mess in the future so it became an easy choice that evolution had to go :) Thunderbird in comparison has been much nicer. Two problems I have though are it seems to fragment memory (on a 32bit system) causing suspend to fail on one system, and while its quite happily remembering my email passwords, it refuses to do so for the calendar passwords when connecting to a radicale backend (well it remembers them, but pops up a cancel/ok dialog for confirmation on every calendar on first starting thunderbird - maybe due to a prematurely squashed gnome whose function needs restoring?

The problem is you are trying to downgrade sys-fs/udev but not
virtual/udev. If you want to force using udev-171, you need to mask both
the real and virtual atoms. Try this in /etc/portage/package.mask/udev:
>=sys-fs/udev-181
>=virtual/udev-181
Then emerge -avuD1 udev and see if that fixes it.
