Comment on Mail-Notification with enabled SSL by mohave

Hello,
I am disappointed. I did all of that and I still have the fetchyahoo error grrrr
-my yahoo has the new interface version enabled
-I checked both, the ubuntu 9.10 package from synaptic and also dowloaded mail notification .deb from here
-gmail works ok but my two yahoo accounts get the error
-I installed the fechyahoo version and openssl too

I run ubuntu 9.10 32 bits

Please any clue about what could be?
Thanks in advance, guys

There is an easy workaround to get the buttons working again:

Copy the script vom this post:
http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/post/2238686/
Save it somewhere, e.g. “~/volume.sh” and make it executable.

Create some keyboard shortcuts for the volume keys. Use the commands “~/volume.sh up”, “down” and “mute”. If it does not work, check if “libnotify-bin” is installed.

I followed these directions exactly with Ubuntu 9.10. The result was the loss of all audio functionality, both in and out, requiring a complete re-installation of Ubuntu to recover. Beware.

My thanks to idyllictux for disabling Pulseaudio and to Demagog providing some nifty old tools for use in Ubuntu 9.10 and clearing up my intermittent sound buffering problem.

1) Make sure you are in group plugdev.
2) Make sure you set-default-card
3) Try Google the error

I followed all the steps on two machines and when i get to the alsamixer part I get:

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device

Now what?

Acer Aspire One AOD250-1165
This model is fairly new. So it has the usual features, i.e. built in wi-fi, camera, 160 GB drive, etc, etc. This is the 3 hr battery model. I have no idea where Amazon gets their tech specs. We just bought this and the manual states that it comes with 1 GB of RAM, and is upgradeable to 2 GB. It recognized 4 wireless connections in my area the instant it was powered on. So far it’s great for what it was bought for, the internet, small low demand games, music, simple word processing…
