So I scooted back to Mageia-3 to do that. (N.B. In the previous session I had changed the Startup options to 'Start with an empty session') First I tried starting Pan from a terminal session, which showed an extra warning: --------------------------------------------------------- $ pan Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name news.pan.NZB was not provided by any .service files --------------------------------------------------------- I don't understand the reference to "news.pan.NZB', although there is in .pan2 a file 'tasks/nzb' containing: ---------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE nzb PUBLIC "-//newzBin//DTD NZB 1.0//EN" "http://www.newzbin.com/DTD/nzb/nzb-1.0.dtd";> <nzb xmlns="http://www.newzbin.com/DTD/2003/nzb";> </nzb> ----------------------------------------------- I tried deleting it, but it gets automatically recreated... Why is it there? HOWEVER, after the initial warnings Pan DID START, and continues to do so! Now, the only change in my system settings since the failure was to set startup to 'start with an empty session'. Also, I had been noticing (since the problem started) that during logout/Shutdown,I was seeing a brief flash of what looked like Pan's opening display. Could it be that Heinrich's suggestion (Pan already running) was on the mark, and that Pan wasn't starting because its session was still open at Logout, but for some reason was not being re-displayed at Login? (And then setting 'start with empty session' had cleared that open session?) Whatever, Pan 0.139 on Mageia-3 is back in business, but I shall play with it a bit more before permanently moving over from Mageia-2. Many thanks for your help, Duncan! Much appreciated... -- /\/\aurice _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
