While I was primarily searching for a way to get around the not yet properly working filters, the result is more or less the same as for your problem. The only solution I found so far was to install a local IMAP server and move your mail to that IMAP server. Then you can even access your mail from other machines and/or with other email applications. I found a detailed description at [1] (ignore the whining in that article). While the author wants to meve away from Kmail, you can of course use the same setup with Kmail/Kmail2. In your case, you would install that IMAP server on both 10.04 and 12.04 and use the same data path for the IMAP server.

Any one has installed dual booting in such a system? I suppose these are GPT partitions? In that case, you should be able to split the win8 partition. I've never heard of a voided warranty because one removed the 'recovery partition'. - Recovery for what? Certainly not disk crashes. - It's 12 GB. Might be not that much nowadays, but still. It's 12GB. - In a month, your recovery partition will be outdated. - Isn't that partition full of crapware? The chance that your Acer will break within the warranty period is very high. Believe me, I sold Acer years ago. There are a few Acer notebooks that I never saw again, but most broke fairly soon. It's in your best interest to keep an external backup. If you want some sort of recovery, I can recommend Clonezilla. It's even a boot option of http://partedmagic.com/. If you want to play it very safe: - Take an image of the whole *disk* now. - Format and install as you like. When you make a mistake, restore the image. - If everything is ok, make another image. Either the whole disk, or the separate Windows and Linux partitions. That'll be a more useful recovery image.

Just as a note, I have three Acer systems, a desktop, a notebook (the oldest, about 4 years old), and a netbook. All have some version of Linux and all work great (the notebook needs a new battery). I recommend Acer systems to all my clients as I've never had to call tech support for any of them. Can't say that about Dell or HP.

I wanted to reply, but did not want to start a war. I felt that it was very hurtful to the person who had just bought a new machine. I only buy a machine for myself and my wife so I do not really have enough experience. George -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

After using right path, rm seems to have worked. But invoking "plasma-desktop" ended in errors as I pointed out in my earlier email. 3. More importantly now in the terminal window there is constant spitting of error/warning messages. A few of them are: Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-ramesh" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0.

Added to my owes, I find in "KDE Application Launcher" in the left hand corner of the status-bar, under "Leave" option, I don't find "restart" or "shutdown" options. They have just disappeared in the process of setting-right/messing-up with other things. How to I get his option in place? I am afraid to forcibly bring down the system.

Message-ID: <50995BDC.9060606@gmail.com> Because of a series of bad things happening, I am in the following situation: I have a new installation of Kubuntu 12.10. In particular, all the PIM information (kontact, calendars, etc.) is unpopulated. I also have a backup of my home directory hierarchy from a 12.04 disk that failed subsequent to the backup. This backup contains (somewhere) all my PIM information -- in particular all my contacts, in multiple address books, and also my calendars. So my question is: how do I find and then import the PIM information from the backup disk so that I can use it on the 12.10 system? To try to avoid confusion, here is another way to describe the situation: I have a functioning 12.10 system with no PIM information. On this system I have a directory ~/home-backup/ that contains the complete hierarchy of a home directory from a system that contained my PIM information. How do I find and transfer the right files from the ~/home-backup/ hierarchy to the new ~ hierarchy so that the PIM information is available to the new system?

Your advice was very helpful and I was able to set status-bar working properly. 2. However before I received your input, I followed the advice of forum.kde.org site http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=13712. I interactively issued the commands: ramesh at mozart:~$ kquitapp plasma-desktop ramesh at mozart:~$ rm ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc rm: cannot remove `/home/ramesh/.kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc': No such file or directory What we have is not .kde4 but just .kde in the "path". After using right path, rm seems to have worked. But invoking "plasma-desktop" ended in errors as I pointed out in my earlier email. 3. More importantly now in the terminal window there is constant spitting of error/warning messages. A few of them are: Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-ramesh" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0. Home directory /home/ramesh not ours. plasma-desktop(2393)/plasma StatusNotifierItemSource::refreshCallback: DBusMenu disabled for this application plasma-desktop(2393)/plasma StatusNotifierItemSource::refreshCallback: DBusMenu disabled for this application 4. Added to my owes, I find in "KDE Application Launcher" in the left hand corner of the status-bar, under "Leave" option, I don't find "restart" or "shutdown" options. They have just disappeared in the process of setting-right/messing-up with other things. How to I get his option in place? I am afraid to forcibly bring down the system. I would be greatly obliged if you can give some leads/suggestions.

My emails are in: ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail2/mail/.inbox.directory/ An example is my kubuntu users list emails are in the file "Kubuntu List" in this directory. Look for hidden folders in the kmail folder if your mail folder structure is different than mine. Calendars: ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/ Address books: ~/.local/share/contacts/ RSS Feeds: ~/.kde/share/apps/akregator/ Notes: ~/.local/share/notes/ I've also got an oddball mailbox that I didn't set up correctly in ~/.kde/share/apps/akonadi_mbox_resource_3/ I can search my old emails in it so I'm happy.

What makes you think it isn't working? Try cat /proc/interrupts If one of the interrupts has 'nvidia' next to it, then it is running. What happens if you type 'modinfo nvidia-current'? If that doesn't give you anything, remove and reinstall the above packages, but also install dkms, to make sure.

If you're not running the nvidia driver, nvidia-settings won't start, or will throw an error. I'd trust that over anything jockey says. The final thing to convince yourself it's working is to do 'lspci -k'. This will tell you the kernel module in use for all your hardware. Mine looks like this: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 330M] (rev a2) Subsystem: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd Device c06a Kernel driver in use: nvidia Kernel modules: nvidia_current, nouveau, nvidiafb If it says nvidia is the kernel driver in use, then it is all working. You can also look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, which will tell you (in amongst a whole load of stuff) which xorg driver is being loaded.

Perhaps you are missing whatever gnome/ubuntu uses for displaying help files, though I do not know what that would be. Also, it simply could be that this package, as it was automatically imported from Debian, might simply be mis- configured at compile time. Many packages in the vast so-called "universe" section of the repos are like that, unless someone finds these bugs, reports and someone hopefully fixes it. You could try running the program from a terminal and see if there are any error messages there when you try using the Help. It might tell us what is missing. -- Clay Weber http://kubuntuforums.net http://claydoh.com From rajuramvani at gmail.com Thu Nov 8 13:02:05 2012 From: rajuramvani at gmail.com (Rajubhai Ramvani) Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2012 18:32:05 +0530 Subject: os not display in boot menu Message-ID: dear sir, in my PC i have three OS .just i installed Ubuntu 12.04 and then after i did update.then restart the PC. in boot menu displaying two OS. in partition manager i can show three OS .all three partitions are separate.then after why should done this pls any body help me. rajuramvani. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, I have Win7 and Kubuntu 64 bit with an ASRock MB, I installed yesterday Kubuntu and I'm not having problems with the systems. But I have two separate hard drives, this is my way of work, so maybe you have some problem different, such as... temperatures? You should give a look also to the Kubuntu forums, maybe your MB is not full supported (I don't think so, though). Try also to disable Nepomuk/Akonadi and see what happens.

System: - Kubuntu 64bit 12.10 updated - KDE 4.9.2 I made a *fresh* installation of Kubuntu in a "virgin" hard disk, setup the entire Kmail with all my accounts (everything is kept to server, so I don't have problems to lose something). Nepomuk has made its work, indexing my folders and now is quiet. The accounts are syncronized, Kmail is quiet. the "google-akonadi-contacs" plugin is working, so I can see my contacts in the addressbook. But. But, I cannot get working the address autocompletion when composing a message! So, even if now my system is quite new and works well (as fast as I expected), I'm seriously thinking of migrating to TB and have full-working system... Please, give me suggestions for not take this irreversible decision. TIA Ciao -- Valter Open Source is better!

However if it isn't you do get a warning message when you compose mail in KMail. Try opening KAddressbook and ensure there is a tick in the box next to your google contacts list. It works for me but I'm on 4.9.3. Like you, I considered moving to Thunderbird as I have plenty of other issues with KMail but I tried it and it just didn't feel right :) Mark From jonorland at gmail.com Sun Nov 11 20:06:21 2012 From: jonorland at gmail.com (Jonas Norlander) Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2012 22:06:21 +0200 Subject: Help file not displayed - partially solved In-Reply-To: <509F1055.9080400@bigpond.com> References: <509B1607.7090708@bigpond.com> <509B47C0.5030208@optonline.net> <509B8C3C.9060709@bigpond.com> <2447976.Yz7NtQzhqi@lark-latitude-d630> <509F1055.9080400@bigpond.com> Message-ID: 2012/11/11 Phil : > In case anyone else runs into this problem, the utility that displays help > files is yelp.

This behavior started for me sometime during the 12.04 ->12.10 development cycle, but since I update frequently, started running the 12.10 beta (or was it alpha) early, and run the aurora version of firefox, I can't say at this point exactly when the problem started. I initially ran into it with flash videos (which is another part of the reason for not reporting it immediatly), but have since run into it with libreoffice and okular. I seem to remember seeing a system settings option in the past that had an option for where this would be displayed (current monitor, primary monitor, or fixed selection), but am not seeing anything like that at this point. I have run into this problem on my T61 laptop (nvidia with two screens) and with my desktop at work (ATI with three screens). This happens with both the proprietary and free drivers on both systems. I added a note along these lines to the launchpad bug #207480 as that looks like it's someone using flash running into the same problem.

The *big* issue with Kmail is its use of Nepomuk/Akonadi, while TB doesn't. One vote on Kmail's favour is its strong integration in KDE, together with the other features that come with it, that's to say all the stuff of the "PIM" suite. Moreover, the efforts of the KDE Team shouldn't be underestimated. A big plus for TB is the large extension repository and the ability to handle separate spam for separate accounts. It seems also that TB handles better the IMAP protocol (the one I use for Gmail and others). I repeat: the big issue for me now is the non-working autocompletion. -- Valter Open Source is better!

These days it has the feel of Beta software. I've been using Apple Mail (on a Mac) since about a year ago and I now find that infinitely preferable to KMail, simply because it's so much more stable, it works reliably, and the setup and interface is far more user-freindly. Akonadi/Nepomuk/PIM is a comparative nightmare to set up. (I don't mean it's partitcularly difficult, it's just a lot more involved than it ought to be. Email isn't rocket science but KDE PIM is...) Thunderbird is sort of halfway between the two - it works better than KMail, it's easier to set up, but the look-and-feel sucks big rocks :) > A big plus for TB is the large extension repository and the ability to handle > separate spam for separate accounts.

See if akonadi crashes with the new user. If not, then it is something on your /home that is causing the problem. You may have to start with a new user for yourself and slowly rebuild your environment. You could try changing things piecemeal, like renaming your .kde directory to get the system to build a new one, but you could chase your tail forever and not find the problem.

Nothing tricky in Userbase: just type the general address http://userbase.kde.org/, followed by the name of the project, in this case Akonadi: http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi Of course, if you prefer to search, use the search filed on the top right, that also helps. And you can browse following various links on the main page, but in general: wiki base page + Project name should work in all KDE wikis :) If it doesn't, then please report this to #kde-www, we will try to improve it.

Where did you set "no proxy for"? If you set it in systemsettings, it would be honored by KDE browsers like konqueror or rekonq but not necessarily by others. I don't know where to look for chrome or seamonkey. Firefox has its own proxy settings in the preferences / advanced / network tab where you can configure how firefox connects to the internet.

Generally it's there as the desktop component to sync with a zimbra server. However, it works separately and doesn't need zimbra. It will work with any number of external email sources (I use it with my clients for gmail, yahoo, 1and1, earthlink) and it does work with both pop and imap. It has contacts lists, calendars, etc. You can download it for free from the zimbra web site. Mark -- ------------------------ Mark S.

If I don't restart it, then by 3 weeks, tapping the numpad + key takes it 5 seconds to even acknowledge that keypress and another 10 to show me the next message. And using the arrow keys to go back and correct a typu becomes very frustrating because by the time you see the cursor move, there are 200 key repeats in the buffer, so its far faster to grab the mouse and try to hit the character that I fat fingered and fix it. As for getting Ingo K. to ack that there is a problem, rotsa ruck on that one. IMO, for general usability, kmail still blows TB out of the water despite that. Even when its slow, it Just Works(TM) given sufficient time. But perhaps this might be looked into if a whole mailing list lights up about it.

You are fortunate that kontact is usable at all. Here: 1. I get pop-pup errors every few minutes (usually with an error message about files being uploaded, which makes no sense since it shouldn't be uploading anything anywhere; sometimes it just says "unknown error"); 2. My remote calendars frequently don't appear at all (and cannot be forced to appear); but occasionally when I start kontact, they *do* appear; there is no obvious pattern to the different behaviour; 3. There is much basic functionality missing in the addressbook; 4. To top it off, akonadi can bring my entire machine to a standstill with its intense disk activity. All this happens even after I wiped everything and started with a pristine akonadi installation a couple of days ago. Everything worked fine until I updated to 12.10; until the update I never understood all the complaints I kept reading about the KDE PIM suite and akonadi. Now I understand: it's basically a horribly fragile architecture: great as long as it works, but as soon as akonadi decides to fail, everything breaks and there's no obvious way to recover. > Everthing could be syncronized with the Gmail account without problems (mail, > calendar, contacts...) I don't like the idea of google knowing anything more than necessary about me, so I'm looking at other PIMs. Perhaps evolution is usable... I'm downloading it now.

Apart from that I would do something I have had to do a few times since upgrade to KMail2: from command line "akonadictl stop" (KMail not loaded of course), then rename /HOME/.kde/share/apps/nepomuk folder to something else, then Then edit the file /HOME/.kde/share/config/akonadi_nepomuk_feederrc to set the lines InitialIndexingComplete=false and DisableIdleDetection=true and then akonadictl start. Your CPU will be eaten alive for a night or so, then things should work as expected. I have done this maybe 4-5 times and of course would be happier if I did not need to - but for me it works.

How about Zorin 6.1 (2012/11/07)? :-) I am not a 'sophisticated' user but understand that beta versions can be pretty 'challenging' to operate and am therefore inclined sticking to Netrunner 4.2.1 (dryland). > I hope you do find out more on Saturday and enjoy Netrunner.

I think you can create a dummy email account, a kind of a placeholder, and then use Evolution as your PIM only. It will probably bug you with an error message displayed below on its status bar while "failing" to reach the "email server". I personally would live with it. :-) I use Evolution as PIM for about 6 years and I'm quite satisfied with it.

I've been using Kontact since KDE 10.10 and from my experience I agree that the backend is quite fragile. I've had to clear out my Akonadi database and start from scratch at least a few times over the years. Since upgrading to Kubuntu 12.10 - which required me to start the Akonadi database from scratch on my desktop, but not my laptop - Kontact et al have been quite stable. I agree that it's slowly getting better, but my main gripe is the virtuoso-t process. That little sucker uses the CPU far too much, every time I log in. I don't know what it's doing, but no other PIM database needs to use the CPU so intensively. If it could be made more efficient, I'd be a lot happier with Kontact et al. Another gripe I have is with Akonadi's notifications. I haven't found a way to turn off the bell when an IMAP command fails. This is especially annoying when I'm watching a movie in 5.1 surround sound, as Pulseaudio needs to unbind from Alsa, revert to stereo, play the bell, then silence, before reconnecting to my sound card in DTS or Dolby Digital 5.1. Even after quitting Kontact, Akonadi still keeps trying to log in to my IMAP account. If it fails, then that annoying bell rears its ugly head. Zimbra looks cool; thanks for the recommendation; a bit unnecessary for a standalone machine perhaps, but I like the idea of checking my emails through HTTP(S), as my ISP blocks SMTP (port 25) connections.

In account configuration options in Kmail you can set up the Akonadi resource to disconnect when you close KMail / Kontact. If you do that, Akonadi will not try to log in to your IMAP account after you close KMail / Kontact.

When the video appears on YouTube, right-click on the video and a menu will appear. However, be also aware that YouTube now also has HTML5 (which Firefox recognises and uses if Flash is not installed) so there may not be a menu when you right-click on the video. > So far, I know that package only via the list of installed packages in > eg.

Thanks. I just had a good look through there, and nothing is configured to "Play a sound".. I just figured that that option is probably only for custom sounds, and has no effect on the default bell. Is that right? I do have the "Show a message in a popup" option checked in a lot of places, but I don't mind pop-up notifications. It's only the bell that goes with it... I guess now that that is the problem. There seems to be no way of unbinding the bell from the pop-up notification. However, there is an option in "Player settings" to turn off all audio output, but that's overkill...

Have you looked,also in the same place, at 'System Bell' (Third option down in the panel on the left hand side)? There's an option to 'Use system bell instead of system notification'. I have this disabled and I don't get any bells for any notifications.

My only other idea then is, in KMail Settings->Accounts there's a 'New Mail Notification' panel ate the bottom. Make sure 'Beep' isn't ticked. There's also an 'Other Actions' button there where you can check for beeps and sounds enabled for all the KMail notifications. If it's none of that then I'm out of ideas :) Mark > > Cheers, > Alex > > From beamesleach at gmail.com Thu Nov 29 15:24:05 2012 From: beamesleach at gmail.com (Alex Leach) Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2012 15:24:05 +0000 Subject: Alternative PIM?

Good suggestion, though. > There's > also an 'Other Actions' button there where you can check for beeps and > sounds enabled for all the KMail notifications. If it's none of that then > I'm out of ideas :) No "Play a sound" boxes are ticked, but I do have quite a few "Show a message in popup" boxes ticked. The same is true no matter which account is selected, just above. Thanks for the ideas. No worries, I'll survive! :) Cheers, Alex From beamesleach at gmail.com Thu Nov 29 16:14:58 2012 From: beamesleach at gmail.com (Alex Leach) Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2012 16:14:58 +0000 Subject: KMail Beep.

Attached is a cropped screenshot of a fairly typical error message. The displayed title ("Gmail") is an account name I have set up in: Configure Kmail -> Accounts -> Receiving. This account is configured to check for new mail every 10 minutes. I read the other day that IMAP uses something like long-polling, so that client-server connections are persistent.. So, should I switch off the "Enable interval email checking" option for IMAP accounts? KR, Alex -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
