Right, it didn't work here, found this thread, installed myspell-en, myspell-nl and myspell-de, the three languages I would like spell checking in. But still no spellchecking at all. OpenOffice claims only support for spanish has been installed, which is one I haven't got on my system.

I'm using ...

Right, I finally got it to work.

Things suggested in this thread did not work for me(editing prefs.js).

I found this: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=219444

It seems that when the protocol-handler for http/https is not set in thunderbird, it uses gnome defaults, so what ...

Well, that's the exact same as in my prefs.js, but it still doesn't work... Aaargh...

I just removed the binary version, compiled the source code, removed all profiles and stuff, still no cigar.

If anyone IS able to open their links from thunderbird in firefox 3, can they tell me what exactly they did?

Would it make any difference to not use the binary version?

I just tried removing my firefox and thunderbird profiles, starting fresh but that doesn't fix it either...

Yes, that is the problem.

I have www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin-3.0and mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-2.0.0.16 installed and they don't work together apparently. mailto links in Firefox do open in Thunderbird, but URL's clicked in Thunderbird do not open in Firefox...

*kick*

And how do you do that?

I've been having this problem since I installed Firefox3-bin, and nothing has worked. I added the protocol-handler stuff to prefs.js, I ran 'firefox -setDefaultBrowser', but nothing works.

I also get three processes after clicking a link in thunderbird:

/bin/sh /opt ...

Any idea what's causing this? Indeed removing the cache helps, but now, a couple of months later, the same problem reappeared. I fixed it in the same way but it is rather annoying...

I just did a sync and and emerge -uDav world. Now emerge want's to do this:

I just resynced and now it is unmasked again. Probably a mistake somewhere but it would not have been a funny one if I had let portage downgrade the package since then my system would have been broken again.

What's this about?

I have been using bootsplash/gensplash for numerous generations of kernels. Now something has changed once again, apparently gensplash has been replaced by uvesafb somehow. The splash option is not available in the kernel config anymore.

Now somewhere on this forum (http://forums.gentoo.org ...

Indeed it helped to remove dovecot.index.cache from the mail directories. Thank you very much!

Help?

*kick*

BTW, I also tried the 'Regenerate Index' function in Thunderbird which reloads the index. This has fixed it for 2003 and 2005, but 2004 and 2006 still don't work properly...

I have got some troubles with Dovecot IMAP server. I'm running Gentoo Linux on a server with fetchmail to fetch all my mail from POP3 servers and put it in my IMAP mailbox on my own server.

This has always worked quite nicely, and in fact, it still does. For new mail.

Each january 1st I create a ...

Well, it's not a cheap mobo as you can see in my signature. And a powerspike also seems unlikely since the HDD that powered off what in an external HDD-case with an external power supply cable connected using an E-SATA cable.
But the mainboard does not support SATA hot-plugging so it could indeed be ...

That doesn't really matter does it? As I said, it's not the main HDD, so the system is not dependent on it for normal functioning. If I put in a bad floppy in my floppy-drive then the system should not lock either, right?
I know what the problem was with the HDD, the HDD mentioned is an external HDD ...

Just before 12 PM I went away, while my Gentoo box was doing an emerge -uD world. When I came back I found it locked tight. Couldn't use sysrq, couldn't SSH in from another box, completely dead.

In /var/log/everything/current I found this:

I just found this thread, and I was wondering if the following setup would be possible with the above mentioned links?

What I want is to create a external hard disk with a couple of ISO images for installing all sorts of things, including operating systems. Now I want to be able to plug in this ...

Now I came a step further. It really isn't KDE or KWin's fault. It's Aquamarine's fault! I just discovered then when I use beryi + aquamarine the special characters do not show up properly, and when I use KWin they do. So I'm going over to beryl to complain there

And, indeed, this does fix it. The driver settings tab has returned! Thanks!
