Unfortunately, I had to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch [1] and now I'm going round reinstalling all the extra software that I'd had installed.
[1] caused by my increasingly unreliable hardware, I suspect.. However, when it comes to leafnode, I don't know how to start it! (Or at least, I can't remember from last time; I really should write down my notes more often, although I don't recall having any problems with this last time..). There isn't an entry for leafnode in /etc/init.d/ and if I simply try to run 'leafnode' as root, while it seems to start (it displays a startup message), if I try to run my newsreader (slrn), I get the following error message: Using newsrc file /home/david/.jnewsrc for server localhost. Connecting to host localhost ...Unable to make connection. Giving up. slrn fatal error: Failed to initialize server. Similarly, 'telnet localhost 119' produces: Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused There is an appropriate entry in /etc/hosts.allow: #-- leafnode begin leafnode: 127.0.0.1 #-- leafnode end I'm afraid I don't have any further ideas of what to investigate. Does anybody know why this is happening, how I can resolve this, and also what The Ubuntu Way is to have leafnode start automatically on boot?
