We must be having a communication problem. It is true that when a
message id deleted or moved from a folder it is not actually removed
from the folder it just disappears from the folder's view and shows up
in the folder it is going to. In fact if you disable the option hide
deleted messages you can see it in both folders (trash in the case of
deletion). To me this is a good thing since I do not have the deleted
messages hidden and can easily look at a deleted message if I decide
later i may have missed something it said. The messages are kept in that
form until evolution is terminated. The same way with read and unread
messages. When evolution is exited and then restarted messages are
expunged.
So that seems OK with me so I don't see what the complaint is . Maybe
you can clarify your objection to how it works. Is seems possible you
are taking about IMAP processing with the exchange server where the
messages remain on the server. If so I can see that the evolution
approach might be a problem. Is that it?

Re: Logitech keyboard
by kwhiskerz
I wrote this for a quasi-tutorial, so I will just cut and paste, as I don't
have time.
Press each multimedia key in turn. Should some not generate keycodes, the
kernel will tell you about them: "cat /var/log/messages | grep atkbd".
Type, "dumpkeys", to find out which keycodes are still available. Then, use
setkeycodes to give each unknown key an arbitrary available code (eg.,
setkeycodes e03b 201). To make the keys known at boot, list a setkeycodes
command for each unknown key in an executable file, then
append '/path/to/unknownkeys.sh' to /etc/rc.d/rc.local (no quotes). Run the
script or reboot.
While working in KDE (or any graphical environment), run xev. Press each of
the multimedia keys (the ones that had keycodes, as well as the ones you
assigned keycodes). Note the X keycode for each key and map it to a suitable
X keysym, if it isn't already mapped (the volume and mute keys might be),
eg., keycode 162 = XF86AudioPlay. The names of all possible X keysyms are
in /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB, the relevant ones being near the end. List these
key mappings in /etc/X11/Xmodmap. Note that KDE can use modifier keys to
multiply the mapping possibilities, so there is no point in mapping more than
one X keysym to a key.
Next, put an executable script, containing only the
line 'xmodmap /etc/X11/Xmodmap', into your .kde/Autostart to have xmodmap run
at login. Run the script, or log out and back in. Every key should now work,
ie., generate an X keysym. Finally, select Input Actions under Regional and
Accessibility in the KDE Control Centre to map the keys to commands. You can
program numerous functions for each key by combining them with the Shift,
Crtl, Alt, etc.
That about sums it up. If I omitted something, a bit of fiddling on this theme
should be all you need.

First F7 install
by John Bowden
Hi Folks
Finely got round installing F7 on my box. Every thing went relatively smooth,
except for no sound from the sound card. only system beeps. The Mother board
is an Asrock K8NF6G VSTA /M /ASR. It has got the Nvidia NF6100-405 Chipset.
The Hardware browser tells me its running the nvidia MCP61 driver. How do I
get my sound card working?

Suspend / Resume on a Dell D420 doesnt work
by Patrick Steiner
Hi,
i have played around now for hours with suspend resume on my Dell D420
I have also tried s2ram from opensuse which works fine with FC6.
But now with F7 i can get suspend/resume working anymore.
i have already looked at http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk <http://people.freedesktop.org/%7Ehughsient/quirk>
enabling pm_trace outputs:
cat dmesg.txt | grep "hash matches"
hash matches drivers/base/power/resume.c:70
what does this mean.
iwl3945 mac80211 are already in unload_modules.
i have removed
<merge key="power_management.quirk.vbestate_restore" type="bool">true</merge>
from the fdi file because i use the intel video driver.
now it look like this
<match key="system.hardware.product" contains="D420">
<merge key="power_management.quirk.vbe_post" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
i have restarted the hal service but lshal | grep quirk
always outputs:
lshal | grep quirk
power_management.quirk.vbe_post = true (bool)
power_management.quirk.vbestate_restore = true (bool)
also after a system reboot. any ideas?
has anyone a d420 with f7 and a working suspend/resume setup?
regards,
patrick

no audio/video on cnn site
by Gene Heskett
Greetings;
I too, as I expect several million other linux users are also, am not getting
any audio or video from the news story itself AFTER that ugly, PG98 rated HBO
commercial promo plays since your last site redesign.
There is a reason for web coding standards, its so anyone with a browser can
access those pages that comply to those standards.
Since we (linux/BSD/Solaris etc) now represent about 12 to 15% of the network
users, with windows falling in popularity by our numbers as people switch to
linux or one of the BSD's, or maybe even Solaris on our x86 boxes, your
apparent thinking that if it works on windows it is fine is not going to do
it in the future. And the future is right now.
In a previous reply from you that I saw, you were told that the user was
running linux, but you ignored that minor detail and rambled on about how he
could fix it just as if all computers on the planet were running windows.
They are not...
I had high hopes we would come up with a spoofing mechanism that would work,
but sadly, as close as I have gotten is to tell your site I'm running
netscape-4.8 on vista. That gets me as far as opening the player window,
then a long pause and a request that I download and install the "Turner Video
Player" or something similar, and when clicking on that it turns out to be
some windows .exe file that linux, with its protections against viri and
rootkits, cannot readily be forced to execute, and if we did, it would find
itself, and any virus load it might be carrying, in a very strange
environment indeed. A secure by design environment.
Please submit your site to the web page validation service available at
<http://www.w3.org/> and fix anything it fusses about. Then you can rest
assured that your site should play properly on any browser that is coded to
be w3c compliant, possibly even IE7 on windows vista, and which is not
encumbered by your use of a proprietary, patented file format. There are
formats other than flash and .wmv, some of which are considerably higher
quality AND free of any patented (and therefore not legally usable in the US
by linux/BSD users). Google for ogg and theora as one example.
I just ran <http://www.cnn.com> through the validation service, and it reports
153 errors.
The insulting part of it is that the HBO promo's for some murder, or way
underage sexual activity does play, just fine. I know, I've watched it
probably 150 times now while testing various options.
The news itself is bad enough, but to promo that sort of stuff where some
underage children might be trolling for a civics class report borders on a
callous, almost criminal attitude that does not leave a major networks news
dept's impression on the people in very good shape.

Running Amarok extracted from rpm (FC6 Extras)
by Mostafa Afgani
Hi everyone,
I've been trying to run amarok extracted from a rpm (extras repo) on a
machine where I don't have root access. I extracted the package and
some of the missing dependencies under /tmp and added /tmp/usr/bin and
/tmp/usr/lib to PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH respectively.
When I run ./amarok, it runs without complaining about any missing
libraries but just before launching it bails with an error that states
that no suitable sound-engines could be found. I know for a fact that
both xine and Gstreamer (with the required libs and plugins) are
installed on this system.
Any idea where the problem could be?
TIA,

usb_storage - BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!
by Paulo Cavalcanti
Hi,
I am having soft lookups when a plug a usb stick or an usb external
disc (ide-usb adapter) on an FC6 x86_64 (fully updated), Intel D975XBX2 (Bad
Axe) Mobo.
During more or less 30 sec everything freezes, including the mouse,
but after this time interval everything goes back to normal again, and I can
use the
disc or stick without any problem.
I can't say when this start to happen. The computer is only a few month old.
Any suggestion?
