Arch linux, recent installation, Thunderbird has been working well so far.
FWIW, I have Thunderbird running in two different OS's on a multiboot machine; both of them have their mail-folders and address-book entries sym-linked to a data partition, a system that has been working well for me for a year or two.
Just started happening earlier today... some of my folders I can click on, but clicking on others either just brings up a blank pane, or the mouse cursor changes to a rotating/buffering cursor, and if I move the mouse around the screen, it "whites-out" the message listing in the pane, observable in the horrible-quality video referenced below. The messages themselves don't seem to be affected, I can access the same content from another OS on the same machine. If it means anything at all, the two folders that *do* open normally when I click on them are the two folders with the smallest number of messages stored in them, but *none* of them are storing ridiculous amounts of messages. (Nor am I using more than a trivial percentage of available disk space.) The "buffering" cursor will continue indefinitely, but returns to normal when I click again on one of the two folders still acting normally.

Does this behaviour look remotely familiar to anyone?
I receive the following warning : There is not enough disk space to download new messages. Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash folder, and compacting your mail folders, and then try again.

Hello,
I installed Mint 17 xfce onto a friend's HP netbook a few months ago. Up until now all has been working pretty perfectly.
From this evening, she tells me that after she types in her password the following message appears:
no exec. line in this session file [her password appears here in plain text!] running the GNOME failsafe session instead
The only option at this point is seemingly to click ok. After that, this message appears:
Could not find the GNOME installation will try running the failsafe xterm session
Again the only option is to click ok, then this appears for a few seconds:
Cannot find xterm start a failsafe session
Then it goes to a black screen (though you can see the mouse cursor) on which it stays indefinitely.
She tells me that she wasn't trying to do anything other than web browsing and email checking before this started happening so there doesn't seem to be any logical reason behind it. Does anybody have any idea what is happening and how to fix it?
I installed Linux Mint but I can't see the taskbar to open menus,firefox or anything. When I hover my mouse in the bottom right corner the date pops up, so I think everything is there but I just can't see or click on anything. The only icons on my desktop are the Home and computer icons and they are barely on the screen but still visible. I'm hoping there is a way to adjust the screen ratio to show the whole screen. Also on web pages the "close tab x" is off the screen and out of range for my mouse to click but I was able to drag the page down to get to it.
I was able to make the taskbar icons larger, now I can see the tops of the icons so I at least know they are there.
fresh install of Calculate linux 14.12.1(GENTOO derivative) KDE 4.14.3. if I click on lock icon or if the desktop times out from no activity the lock screen will lock but not unlock. Being new to KDE I do not know what the proper procedure is for unlock, I can move the mouse cursor but nothing happens no popup for a password?
Hi,
I have an tar.gz file which when right click extract here on my ubuntu computer is extracted without issue. I have all the folders and all the files (links and one executable) in them.
But when i transfert this tar.gz to another system and use the command :
Code:
tar zxvf nameofthefile.tar.gz
I see in the terminal things like that :
Code:
usr/bin/unzip/lzop
usr/bin/xargsbin/mountpoin
usr/bin/telnet
bin/pipe_prog
usr/bin/lzma
bin
usr/bin/sort
which mean that the files must be extracted but when using "ls" intot he folders they are empty. All the links are not here and only the executable is extracted.
When i copy back the archive from the new system to my ubuntu system and extract it all the files are here without issue. Why is it only creating the folders and not extracting the links ?
I have a Toshiba laptop that will not boot. I get to the grub menu which gives me the option to load Ubuntu, Ubuntu recovery mode, or a couple of memory tests.
If I select Ubuntu I get a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left corner.
Selecting recovery mode gives me a lot of messages with the last one being "EDD information not available".
The memory test option does not return any errors.
If I try booting Mint from a bootable DVD I get the Mint screen and then it goes gray with a flashing cursor in the top left corner.
Any suggestions?
I have loaded Ubuntu onto my laptop as dual boot and have setup the displays. I have used it to search the web and copy some files from the Windows partition and everything worked fine. I did not shut down over night and this morning, there is nothing on either screen except my wallpaper and mouse cursor: no lonch pad, no title bar, nothing. I rebooted with the same USB drive into "Try Ubuntu without loading" and everything worked just fine. Then shut down; removed the USB drive; and rebooted using the installed dual boot. Nothing except wallpaper and mouse. This happened once before and I reinstalled.
What am I not doing?
Running Xubuntu 14.10 (and out of patience). Got a Nikon Coolpix L15 and hooked it up to my Dell Optiplex 170L via a USB cord. The camera icon pops up. I double click on it and get to the photos, but then the whole thing starts bogging down and I can't copy the photos and something crashes. (Not the whole computer.) I'll attach the report. (It's in two screenshots because it didn't fit in one.)
And when it bogged it also gave me an error message window with 'One or more applications are keeping the volume busy. (PID-0)'
And I thought it was kind of treating the camera as a usb drive. When I hovered the cursor over the camera icon it showed:
'Mounted in "gphoto2://[usb:004,002]/"
and it showed:
0 bytes left (0 bytes total)
And there was four photos and a video on the camera.
I checked and was able to download the photos and video on a Windows computer, so I don't think the issue is with the camera or the files.
Because of the 'volume busy' error message I closed out everything on the computer and was still getting the same messages when I tried to transfer.
It seems close to doing it. I can highlight a photo but then it all bogs down and crashes.
