Would someone help please.

OS is Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid)

I installed Pan newsreader from the Software Centre, completed the
Server configuration details, user name and password etc but when
started, Pan does not access the server. It is supposed to download and
display a list of available newsgroups.


The same details I use to access the server from a different Linux
machine (Intrepid) using Agent running on Wine and everything works
perfectly but that's an entirely different installation. I mention it
only to confirm that the login details and the IP address are correct.


Reading widely I saw it mentioned in several places that someone in a
similar situation needed to have the gtk libraries installed. Checking
with the Synaptic Package manager I find there are 3 lots of GTK2 Theme
Engine libraries installed and a dozen or more gtk libraries NOT
installed. There is also a bunch of GTK2 libraries NOT installed.


Am I heading in the right direction?
If yes, Which libraries SHOULD be installed?
If not, where else could the problem be?

Much appreciated
GaryT

Try with Thunderbird.

This will help determine if it is a network problem.

Thanks Liam.
I didn't see your response until just now.

The problem was solved quite easily in the end. In the Package Manager I
simply marked it for reinstallation. The Package Manager obviously did
a better job than did the install process of the Ubuntu Software Centre.
It worked correctly when next started.


One thing I don't get is your suggestion to try Thunderbird. I'm using
TB version 2.0.0.22 and cannot see anywhere how to access newsgroups.

Am I behind the times? Or am I missing something?
Maybe both... :-)

Go to account settings → account actions (that button/drop down down
there) → Add other account

Well, with such an extremely ancient version, yes, you are very
much behind the times. Any reason why you are doing this? Hate
security?

But, anyway, Thunderbird always had Usenet support.

I ran T'bird 2.x for a long time. It was the last version which did
not have indexing and background searching & therefore was
dramatically faster than any newer versions.

Now I have a 64-bit dual-core machine with 4GB of RAM, it's less of an
issue, though...

Hello,

This morning, I woke up to the news that a group of developers have managed
to successfully make Ubuntu's Unity Desktop work on Fedora 17[1]. What kind
of work would be needed to get these people to be able to bring their work
into the Fedora repository so that everyone can easily choose to use it
without breaking stuff?

Well... how can one put this diplomatically without sounding harsh :-) .

The current official release of Thunderbird is 13.0.1......... :-) .

(But I also like to live on the bleeding edge and am using version
17.0a.1 :-) .)


So, to say that you are behind the times is just a teeny weeny of an
understatement :-) .


Nevertheless, ignoring what I have just wrote, your version of
Thunderbird has the ability to handle Usenet newsgroups.


In Edit>Preferences>Account Settings>Account Actions>Add Other Accounts
select Newsgroups.


Now you will have to wait while a list of some ~200,000 newsgoups gets
downloaded to your computer following which you will have to go and
select the ones you want to read :-) .


Nothing to it really. Piece of cake.....:-)

WARNING. Usenet newsgroups are not moderated and "anything and
everything goes" - its a "free for all". Some of the things stated in
the is equivalent to what you hear coming from the mouths of politicians
:-D .

Not true of all newsgroups! Some are moderated and some are not. The
alt.x.x groups aren't. Some of the rest aren't.

Oh, OK. All the ones I used to read were not moderated.

In a well-moderated newsgroup a moderator maintains minimally polite
relevance. Recently in one such newsgroup, an arrogant teenager making
snide comments and announcing himself a member of the development group
was publicly reproached and probably privately told to restrict his
comments and claims, because his subsequent contributions were fewer and
quite modest. Hopefully, moderation will make him a better adult.



Often a moderator will announce the closing of a thread that has become
irrelevant to the group description by off-topic or impolite discussion.
The moderator(s) performs a difficult and time-consuming task out of
loyalty to the group and topic.



In binary groups moderation principally has to watch out for embedded
malware in contributions. Of course, a moderator has the right and
responsibility to bar harmful contributions and contributors.
