[Bug 61060] kmail and bogofilter do not work together using kmail antispam wizard
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: bogofilter Hi, in a clean installation, if you setup bogofilter as SPAM filter using kmail wizard, it looks like bogofilter cannot mark what is SPAM and what is HAM: every message, even after some weeks of training, has a spamicity of 0.5200. To fix this problem I did: > create a dir and copy there some known SPAM messages (call them something like s1, s2, ..., sN) > in the same dir copy some known HAM (aka GOOD) messages (call them something > like h1, h2, ..., hN) > rm -rf ~/.bogofilter (maybe you want a mv ;)) > rm -rf ~/.bogofilter.cf (maybe does not exists...) > bogofilter -v -n -B h1 h2 (tell bogofilter h1 and h2 are good messages) > bogofilter -v -s -B s1 s2 (tell bogofilter s1 and s2 are SPAM) After this manual feed bogofilter can understand what is SPAM and what is HAM; it works flawlessy with KMail and update its knowledge of what is good and what is not.

Hi there, Java was a binary package so we cannot know for sure what they change between a version and another one but, in the interest of SUN and the Java platform, minor version are always binary compatible. It's usually safe to upgrade from 1.5.0_08 to whatever else 1.5.0_xx and the same applies for 1.4.0, 1.4.1, 1.4.2 and 1.6.0.

[Bug 78693] Re: Slow reboot sequence
After googleing around I found [1]: "The `reboot=' Argument This option controls the type of reboot that Linux will do when it resets the computer (typically via /sbin/init handling a Control-Alt- Delete). The default as of v2.0 kernels is to do a `cold' reboot (i.e. full reset, BIOS does memory check, etc.) instead of a `warm' reboot (i.e. no full reset, no memory check). It was changed to be cold by default since that tends to work on cheap/broken hardware that fails to reboot when a warm reboot is requested. To get the old behaviour (i.e. warm reboots) use reboot=w or in fact any word that starts with w will work. Other accepted options are `c', `b', `h', and `s', for cold, bios, hard, and SMP respectively. The `s' takes an optional digit to specify which CPU should handle the reboot. Options can be combined where it makes sense, i.e. reboot=b,s2" Bye Piero [1]: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/BootPrompt-HOWTO-3.html -- Slow reboot sequence https://launchpad.net/bugs/78693 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop Hi there, yesterday I plugged a 512MB MP3 pendrive in my kubuntu edgy powered laptop and started to copy there about 300MB of MP3s: just few seconds and for the KDE interface everything was copied there!!! But we all know this is a trick of the filesystem management under linux: it is saying that everything was done but it deserves to do the real work when it thinks it is a better time. So I went in the desktop and right-clicked on the MP3 player icon and I choose "Safe unmount" (or whatever it is..): almost immediately the device was unmounted and... guess what... not all 300MB where really copied! I plugged the device again, copied files again from KDE (no more than 5 secs and the operatione was done) and I opened a new konsole: > sudo umount /dev/sdb This, obviously, fixed the problem: after 4-5 minutes the prompt came back and all the data was written there.
