Package: gnus Version: 5.10.6-0.CVS.20050317-1 Severity: normal When I start gnus under the console, it gets to saying that it has loaded the agent, then it stops, and does not take CPU time. Each time I C-g it says it couldn't open an nntp server. Once it's worked through those, it does manage to download my mail and start up.
Under X, I don't see this problem at all - it connects to all the news servers just fine. This is okay, as I only use it under X. I have no .emacs file. My .gnus.el is below. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages gnus depends on: ii emacs21 21.4a-1 The GNU Emacs editor ii make 3.80-9 The GNU version of the "make" util ii ucf 1.17 Update Configuration File: preserv -- debconf information: * gnus/upgrade/pre_5.9.0: true -- .gnus.el (setq user-mail-address "[EMAIL PROTECTED]") (setq gnus-user-organization "none") (setq user-full-name "Mark T.B.
