Troubles with kmail indexes recently.
by Gene Heskett 16 Dec '16

16 Dec '16

Greetings; kmail has taken to forgetting its index pointers quite often recently, so when I revisit a folder, I often find the displayed msg is the first one in the list sort, which in 2 folders which have no expiry set, I often find myself re-reading a msg thats 14 years old and nearly 100K msgs older than the current last msg. I have two spam related folders I expect kmail will have to frequently rebuild because some spam messages caught by spamd & procmail might be written directly to the full path of that directory, and the script that runs sa-learn -spam on the spam folder, moves those messages to the spam-hold directory so in case it wasn't spam I can rescue it and move it to the ham folder. Since the email corpus here is quite a few gigabytes, is this an indicator that kmail needs a larger memory allocation?, and if so, how do I give it another 100 or so megs? According to htop, its only using 1% of the 8GB in this machine. This is a 32 bit, pae enabled install of wheezy, all uptodate as of 30 minutes ago.

From time to time when I switch in kontact from one view to the contacts view, kontact crashes. Now I looked into .xsession-err *** Error in `kontact': malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x0000000002291eeb *** [TDE NM Backend ERROR] [/opt/software_x64/KDE/TDE/tdelibs/tdecore/tdehw/networkbackends/network-manager/network-manager.cpp:1823] Attempting to access the network-manager VPN service returned: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.VPN.Plugin was not provided by any .service files WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 2) suspended. WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 4) suspended. WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 3) suspended. WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 1) suspended. *** KMail got signal 6 (Crashing) How can I track this down? Should I turn on debugging for all that ... and what partiularly thanks regards

Could you try the new script in attachment? Execute it at the command line with your city code as an argument. ex: ./GrabWeather KCKB If the script worked properly, there should be 2 files in ~/.wmWeatherReports/ directory: KCKB.dat KCKB.txt Their timestamp must reflect they were just created. When I execute it, ls -l ~/.wmWeatherReports/ gives me: -rw-rw-r-- 1 pascal pascal 98 Dec 10 07:10 KCKB.dat -rw-rw-r-- 1 pascal pascal 601 Dec 10 07:10 KCKB.TXT If so the script worked as expected and you can install it safely in /usr/share/gkrellm/ Hope it will be OK this time :-) midi-pascal

And thank you, as a perl geek I am not. I speak just > enough C or assembly(on a 6x09 platform), to be dangerous. Here is the Perl script in attachment :-) The problem is that the URL to fetch the weather data changed and the data format too... The script name is: GrabWeather To install it, replace the existing one in /usr/share/gkrellm/: sudo cp GrabWeather /usr/share/gkrellm/ make sure it is executable: sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/gkrellm/GrabWeather Then restart gkrellm. That's it! Disclaimer :-) It worked perfectly for me but I cannot ensure it will work for you... Enjoy! midi-pascal

xsane crash
by Uwe Brauer 07 Dec '16

07 Dec '16

Hi I try to save a scanned document, which I have scanned with xsane. When trying to use a specific folder xsane crashes with the following message. [kcrash] TDECrash: Application 'xsane-gtk-tqt-application' crashing Years ago kgtk-qt3-trinity could cause certain applications to crash, but kgtk-qt3-trinity is not installed. Could it be something similar? Regards Uwe Brauer
