Ubuntu 11.04 32bits
Evolution vs 2.32.2
Thunderbird Mail 12.0.1
Date: 17May 2012 12.05AM Easter Time

ORIGINAL TEXT
Just changed from Evolution to Thunderbird 3.1.10. and wanted to share the steps taken.
My platform: Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit, desktop.

Step 1.

  • Backup Evolution: Alt-f, Backup evolution settings…
  • Install Thunderbird from Ubuntu Software Center and setup Thunderbird with your mail account information. Close Thunderbird, after checking whether sending and receiving works.

Step 2.

Open evolution and move all sub-folders (dragging them) to the highest level. Before going to the next step make sure no sub-folders exist any more. Then close evolution.

Step 3.

  • Open Nautilus.
  • Assure you are in your /home/yourname folder.
  • Press Control-h, now you see all hidden folders and files below your own folders, by example: .aptitude
  • Move to /home/yourname/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/Inbox.sbd
  • Press F3. This opens another panel in Nautilus.
  • In this panel goto /home/yourname/thunderbird/xxxxxxx.default/Mail/ServerName

This servername you can find in Thunderbird account settings (Alt-e, a), go to Server Settings. Here you see the ServerName.

Step 4.
Copy only the “mailbox file” files from your Evolution “Inbox.sbd” folder to the Thunderbird “ServerName” folder. Do not copy the other files like xxx.cmeta, xxx.ibec.index, xxx.ibex.index.data etc.

That’s all.

Open Thunderbird and you should find all your evolution mail in your folders. By dragging the folders you can recreate your evolution subfolder structure.

Note: Please read all article…many pictures in the full articles
Recomandation: If you install a new kernel wich support PAE, please try to keep your old kernel up. This article is for experment only, use to your responsability …Make a backup before…

Tested in Gateway MX6629 with 2GB ram Intel 915 Video 128MB /64MB Really ?/
Not visualization. Full working Ubuntu 10.04LTS, only operating system in this machine
Final verdict ….canbit_org
—>The standard Kernel without PAE do the job.

Now on:
Dell Vostro 3700 I7 / 4GB RAM NVidia graphic card 1GB …
Visualization under windows 7 64bits

From the Ubuntu Community Documentation: Enabling PAE

Both the CD and DVD installer of Ubuntu 10.04 automatically installs the PAE enabled kernel if it detects more than 3 Gb of available memory. In the case of the liveCD, a working network connection is required, since the PAE enabled kernel packages are not present on the CD. Continue reading →

Lost cat’s life from the edge of the world

It’s a hard time even for us, the beautiful one.

I’m looking in the mirror every day and I don’t see any change, the same fur, the same color as when I was a funny kitty and I don’t realize why my mistress doesn’t love me anymore. I’m a very understanding cat and I observe that she is passing a difficult period of her life, between nurse’s studies and her boyfriend.

For example, yesterday, she was very angry and disappointed for what happened at the hospital. The tears drowned the eyes, the face pale let to see the shaking edge of the mouth. She couldn’t touch any food and for my despair she forgot to feed me, also.

I know she is a very intelligent and hardworking girl, but I don’t see how it is possible that she could lose in few minutes the others’ interest for her. I have a suspicion, her teacher didn’t gave her the midterm exam expectations.

In hospital is a hard and difficult life, without mercy and love.

Try in Ubuntu 10.04.

1.Install LAMP like howtoforge.com

—> work fine
2.Install manually wordpress 3.x.y last version
3.—>permalink didn’t work…
—->spend some time to fixed

4.What I done in my situation —I’m in localhost /127.0.0.1/ for test…no domain name setting

Fix with:

http://www.ubun2.com/question/302/how_install_enable_apache_mod_rewrite_ubuntu

=================================================================
Open a terminal and type the following command

sudo a2enmod rewrite

This will enable rewrite module for apache
BUT:………..
There is a Bug in apache while using a2enmod, it doesn’t make any
changes, so I am following these steps from last 1 year everytime I
reinstall ubuntu. May be they fixed it in new version. But these steps works 100%
Open terminal & follow this :
#sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default

Check for these lines & change as I have done here :
DocumentRoot /var/www/
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>

Save the file & restart apache :
#sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
