Sylpheed-claws 1.0.4 has no spellchecker?

Upgrading my Sylpheed-claws seems to have removed the spellchecker
(aspell(?)). Does anybody know if it is coming back?

Daniel was asking for info like:
1.  Which drive does Ubuntu boot from?  /dev/hda or /dev/hdb
2.  What brand/model drive is existing?
3.  What brand/model drive are you adding?
4.  Was the first drive set as master or stand-alone?
5.  Do you have the bios set to auto-detect ide devices?
6.  Post the results of 'sudo fdisk -l'
7.  Post the results of 'mount'

Once we have that information, we should be able to get an idea of what
is going wrong.

Very slow ripping

My CD-ROM drive rips CDs really, really slowly. Right now
I'm in the middle of ripping, and grip is giving me rip
speeds of 3.0x. /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info gives the info
below, which tells me that I should be able to get 24x. The
machine itself is quite new: it's a ThinkPad R51 with a
1.5-gig Pentium M and half a gig of RAM. It should be
tearing through CDs. Yet it's not. Any idea how to figure
out what the culprit is?

Is DMA turned on for your drive? Check with the hdparm command like so:

hdparm -d /dev/hdx where X is the pointer to the relevant drive.

Hi Ari,<br>
this telnet connection works for me here in Oz. I guess if it doesn't
work for you, you have no proxy just a straight internet connection
then maybe you should ask your ISP's help desk to connect to the site,
and ping it etc. Maybe they have a routing problem.<br><br>

No, I don't use a proxy, checked that in Firefox settings - if a proxy

Ah ha! I did not know about that. Voila:

/dev/hdc:
 using_dma    =  0 (off)

Thanks a lot for that advice. So I did hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc
and now I have

/dev/hdc:
 using_dma    =  1 (on)

Solid. But then

1) I reran grip, and I'm still getting rip speeds between 2x
and 3x; and

2) how do I get the hdparm setting to stick around after I
reboot?

They are both alias that lead to the same program. If it bothers you,
then just remove it. I actually never noticed it.

On my end, I have

(21:26) slaniel <at> TheloniousMonk:~$ which evolution
/usr/bin/evolution
(21:26) slaniel <at> TheloniousMonk:~$ ls `!!`
ls `which evolution`
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 13 2005-04-16 15:02 /usr/bin/evolution -> evolution-2.2

So the two are identical. In turn, evolution-2.2 is

(21:27) slaniel <at> TheloniousMonk:~$ which evolution-2.2
/usr/bin/evolution-2.2
(21:27) slaniel <at> TheloniousMonk:~$ ls `!!`
ls `which evolution-2.2 `
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 157K 2005-04-06 12:22 /usr/bin/evolution-2.2

I don't seem to have a manpage for evolution on this end, so
I can't see what the story is with the --component=mail
flag. In any case, they go to the same program on my end.
I've not used the other components of the Evolution suite,
but maybe the one under the Office menu opens (or is leaving
open the option to open) into the full suite, including the
calendar and so forth.

it is very likely not the case, but is DMA turned on for your Hard drive 
as well? Also, is the system running anything else that is CPU or IO 
intensive at the time?

You need to add something like the following to your /etc/hdparm.conf 
file

/dev/hdx {
	dma = on
}

Hope this helps.
