SOLARIS 9 mailer prinitng

Post by kark s » Fri, 25 Jul 2003 03:50:47



Hi,

 I am having trouble with printing with the default mailer that come
with Solaris.
It works for me with Solaris 8. I am doubting if I deleted some
pckages that come with Solaris.

 I openned up the mailer by clicking on the mail icon , and then it
openned up my inbox from /var/mail. But unfortunately I am unable to
print anything. It doesnot identify any of the network printers, when
I give the printer names in the print pop up window.

 Am i missing some packages or some sort of configuration files...
please help me.

 Any help would be highly appreciated.

Kark

The CDE programs, like the GUI mail program, depend on the SUNWmp
package to print.  That wouldn't prevent them from listing the
available printers, though.  Just printing to them.

Hi,

 Thanks for the quick reply...

 I see that SUNWmp is installed in the system. When I use pine as my
client instead of the default solaris mailer( the one that comes up
when I click the icon on the taskbar/menubar), i am able to print.
 Is there any configuration files or something like that, that I am
missing.

 Any further help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kark

1. GnuPG / mailer problem: How to find out where the mailer is wrong ?

Hi fellow linuxers,

hope this is not the wrong place to ask this - if it is, just ignore me or
give back a flame that's worth a giggle or two ...,;-)

1. the setting

gpg (GnuPG) 1.2.1  (also tried 1.0.4)
Ximian evolution 1.1.2 Beta 2 (also tried 1.0.8 final)
KMail 1.3.1

2. the problem

I am trying to encrypt to a public key that is somewhat special, in that
it has two User-IDs, one of which does *not* contain an email address,
like this:


uid                            John Doe
sub  4096g/G8456233 2002-08-18 [expires: 2004-08-18]

For KMail this is no problem: If the message is addressed to the exact UID

KMail is unsure about the key to encrypt to, it simply brings up a
selection dialog.  

Ximian evolution on the other hand seems to pass something different to
gpg, and as a consequence, in the process of encrypting a message to such
a key, I get an error message back saying that gpg "can't find a valid
recipient". Even typing the recipients exact user-ID does not help.

3. what I have tried

I did a regular expression search in the config files (located in
~/evolution/ ) for terms like 'gpg', but didn't find any clues.

I have tried to 'strace -ff -v -o debug.pid evolution' but this didn't
produce any useful output (e.g. the options that gpg is called up with)

4. the question

What else could I do, or where else could I look in order to find out what
evolution does differently with gpg ?

I really like evolution as it is some of the best integrated solutions,
but without working gpg integration it is useless for me.

Thanks in advance for any helpful comments !

Cheers,

Martin
