Greetings;
Twice in the last 2 weeks I have been forced to reboot the machine, as it
had a locked up, unkillable session of kmail showing in htop. I had hit
the list reply button, only to be greeted by the spinning dumbell mouse
cursor, which would spin forever. The machine was NOT stuck in a loop
someplace burning up cpu's, nothing, not even kmail was showing any
great cpu activity, but the process itself was unkillable.
This time I was attempting to teach Bret Busby how to construct a sig
separator, the \r-- \r sequence and it was one of his reply messages I
was reading & tried to reply to when it locked up.
This reboot took around 30 minutes because /amandatapes-1T, a terabyte
drive, had not been fsck'd in 181 days, and fscking a terabyte drive,
even if no errors other than severe fragmentation (62%) exist is a 30 to
45 minute process. Amanda, the backup program, /thinks/ the drive is a
30 tape, changer equiped library. (except its 10,0000% more dependable
that such a mechanical monster would be, and 2% of the cost) I'd hate to
think how long it will take to do a 2 terabyte drive as there is now 4
of them here at the Heskett mini-ranchette. Its difficult to buy
anything smaller.
I deleted the last 4 messages from him from ~/Mail/kubuntu-users/cur
before I restarted kmail, knowing I'd be going thru the same hung
machine procedure if I didn't. Last time I made 3 reboots trying, and
finally just cleaned out the folder (a different one) before trying a
4th reboot & kmail restart. That, like this, complained about the index
file being corrupted on the launch of kmail but normal operation was
able to be resumed.
Has anyone a clue just what gmail is doing now? Or how to fix kmail so
it tolerates a message posted from their (IMNSHO) busted webmail app?
This is R14.0.0.2 I believe. Last updated from Slavics? server a day
back.
Looks like I'll need to reboot again, I have a net caused ooops in the
log, and my local network is dead although I can ping yahell.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Just some. So far from people who haven't a clue how to configure a
webmailer. Personally, I'd druther they was never invented. But now we
have them, and not all are written by competent coders, gmail people are
no exception. They are far more interested in getting the commercial

I'd love to Nik, but when I went back to the screen kmail _was_ running
on, it was blanked out. And I have no clue how to go about ascertaining
which message was the killer, so once I was running again, I grep'ed
that directory and nuked the last 4 messages from that person before I
re-ran kmail again. Then it ran normally, otherwise it would have
segfaulted & refused to run.

Thats weird. Generally speaking the process cannot become unkillable due
to error in a program itself, thats only happens if it stuck in the system
call. So i suspect problems with disk/fs or maybe a faulty network
card driver.

Gmail has had some hiccups of late. As Google is trying to implement more DRM
& spyware into their products and services. Gmail recently went down for a
few hours according to a contact.
Try activating the pop along with imap. I use that combo and all is well. When
I use the imap alone, bad things happen "Bad things Mickey!"
Cheers to all,

take to do a 2 terabyte drive as there is now 4 of them here at the
Heskett mini-ranchette. Its difficult to buy anything smaller.
I deleted the last 4 messages from him from ~/Mail/kubuntu-users/cur
before I restarted kmail, knowing I'd be going thru the same hung
machine procedure if I didn't. Last time I made 3 reboots trying,
and finally just cleaned out the folder (a different one) before
trying a 4th reboot & kmail restart. That, like this, complained
about the index file being corrupted on the launch of kmail but
normal operation was able to be resumed.
Has anyone a clue just what gmail is doing now? Or how to fix kmail
so it tolerates a message posted from their (IMNSHO) busted webmail
app?
This is R14.0.0.2 I believe. Last updated from Slavics? server a
day back.
Looks like I'll need to reboot again, I have a net caused ooops in
the log, and my local network is dead although I can ping yahell.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
Gmail has had some hiccups of late. As Google is trying to implement
more DRM & spyware into their products and services. Gmail recently
went down for a few hours according to a contact.
Try activating the pop along with imap. I use that combo and all is
well. When I use the imap alone, bad things happen "Bad things
Mickey!"
Cheers to all,
Kate
