Logging is for the industrious developer alone — and for the curious user, of course. In addition to finding out what’s going on behind the scenes of email exchanges in Mozilla Thunderbird yourself (especially if that which is going on is not going right), you can help those helping you with problems enormously if you’re able to send them a log of what’s happening when you try to send or receive mail.

Turning on transaction logging may not be straight forward an affair, but it is not difficult either.

Log POP, IMAP and SMTP Traffic in Mozilla Thunderbird

To create a log file with all POP (Post Office Protocol), SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) or IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) traffic in Mozilla Thunderbird:

Make sure Mozilla Thunderbird is not running.

Now, on Windows:

• Select All Programs | Accessories | Command Prompt from the Start menu.
• Type “set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=” followed immediately by “POP3:4” for POP, “IMAP:4” for IMAP and “SMTP:4” for SMTP logging.
• Press Enter.
• You can enable logging for multiple protocols by separating them with commas (‘,’).
• To log both POP and SMTP traffic, for example, type “set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=POP3:4,SMTP:4” (excluding the quotation marks).
• To log only IMAP traffic, type “set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=IMAP:4“, for instance.
• Type “set NSPR_LOG_FILE=%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\Desktop\tbird_log.txt“.
• Press Enter.
• Type “start thunderbird“.
• Press Enter again.
• Perform the desired email actions in Mozilla Thunderbird.
• Quit Mozilla Thunderbird and take a look at “tbird_log.txt” on your Desktop.

On Mac OS X:

• Open a Terminal window.
• Type “export NSPR_LOG_MODULES=” followed immediately by “POP3:4” for POP, “IMAP:4” for IMAP and “SMTP:4” for SMTP logging.
• Press Enter.
• You can enable logging for multiple protocols by separating them with commas (‘,’).
• To log both POP and SMTP traffic, for example, type “export NSPR_LOG_MODULES=POP3:4,SMTP:4” (excluding the quotation marks).
• To log only IMAP traffic, type “export NSPR_LOG_MODULES=IMAP:4“, for instance.
• Type “export NSPR_LOG_FILE=~/Desktop/tbird.log“.
• Press Enter.
• Now type “/Applications/Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird-bin“.
• Press Enter again.
• Perform the desired email actions in Mozilla Thunderbird.
• Quit Mozilla Thunderbird and take a look at “tbird.log” on your Desktop.

On Linux:

• Open a Terminal window.
• Type “export NSPR_LOG_MODULES=” followed immediately by “POP3:4” for POP, “IMAP:4” for IMAP and “SMTP:4” for SMTP logging.
• Press Enter.
• You can enable logging for multiple protocols by separating them with commas (‘,’).
• To log both POP and SMTP traffic, for example, type “export NSPR_LOG_MODULES=POP3:4,SMTP:4” (excluding the quotation marks).
• To log only IMAP traffic, type “export NSPR_LOG_MODULES=IMAP:4“, for instance. Type “export NSPR_LOG_FILE=~/tbird.log.txt“.
• Press Enter.
• Type “thunderbird“.
• Press Enter again.
• Perform the desired email actions in Mozilla Thunderbird.
• Quit Mozilla Thunderbird and take a look at “tbird.log.txt” in your Home directory.

Um DNS Einträge im laufenden Betrieb zu Ändern kann man mit Hilfe von rndc eine geänderte Zone ohne Störungen Aktualisieren. Dazu wird die Zone mit rndc Eingefroren, Neugeladen und wieder Aufgetaut.

1. Zonendatei für die Zone Ändern.
2. Zone Aktualisieren mit Hilfe von rndc.

rndc freeze <zonenname>
rndc reload <zonenname>
rndc thaw <zonenname>

Hilfe zu diesem Thema findet man unter “Die Verwendung von rndc“.

Bash Color Escape Codes

You can echo (echo -e) the following escape codes inside \e[ESCAPECODEm to colorize the text in your bash console:

• Black 0;30
• Dark Gray 1;30
• Red 0;31
• Light Red 1;31
• Green 0;32
• Light Green 1;32
• Brown 0;33
• Yellow 1;33
• Blue 0;34
• Light Blue 1;34
• Purple 0;35
• Light Purple 1;35
• Cyan 0;36
• Light Cyan 1;36
• Light Gray 0;37
• White 1;37

Make sure you use “echo -e” to enable the interpretation of the backslash escapes:

bash$ echo -e "This is bright green -> \e[01;32mGREENCOLOREDTEXT\e[00m"

Remove the Color

Echo \e[00m to remove the  color modifications from the text:

bash$ echo -n '\e[00m'

Look how the colors appear on your system:

Copy the code into an new created shell script for example colors.sh and make it executable (chmod +x colors.sh).

#!/bin/bash
echo -e "This is \e[00;30mBlack\e[00m 0;30"
echo -e "This is \e[01;30mDark Gray\e[00m 1;30"
echo -e "This is \e[00;31mRed\e[00m 0;31"
echo -e "This is \e[01;31mLight\e[00m Red 1;31"
echo -e "This is \e[00;32mGreen\e[00m 0;32"
echo -e "This is \e[01;32mLight Green\e[00m 1;32"
echo -e "This is \e[00;33mBrown\e[00m 0;33"
echo -e "This is \e[01;33mYellow\e[00m 1;33"
echo -e "This is \e[00;34mBlue\e[00m 0;34"
echo -e "This is \e[01;34mLight Blue\e[00m 1;34"
echo -e "This is \e[00;36mCyan\e[00m 0;36"
echo -e "This is \e[01;36mLight Cyan\e[00m 1;36"
echo -e "This is \e[00;35mPurple\e[00m 0;35"
echo -e "This is \e[01;35mLight\e[00m Purple 1;35"
echo -e "This is \e[00;37mLight\e[00m Gray 0;37"
echo -e "This is \e[01;37mWhite\e[00m 1;37"

Execute the script (./colors.sh) and it should be look similar to this:

Since the current AutoKey Version shipped with Ubuntu Linux 10.04 Lucid Lynx is an outdated one, i found an easy way to get a newer one through the PPA of Chris Dekter from the AutoKey Project.

If you are not so familiar with installing through PPA i made a set of install scripts. You can also easy switch the theme icons i mentioned earlier.

Make sure you remove any installed autokey packages before you install the PPA Version!

Do not forget to restart AutoKey after you made any changes.

The Problem

In order to show the error i made some screenshots from an RSS view in Firefox.

As you can see the MIME Icon is missing.

The image source link from the source code.

moz-icon://goat?size=16&contentType=audio/mpeg

The Fix

The MIME Icon is shown after the fix. As you can see it is an audio icon.

The problem is that Firefox can’t find the MIME type icons. This Shell-Script copies the MIME icons from the Humanity Icon Theme into the .icons folder in your home directory so Firefox can find them.

#!/bin/bash

ISOURCE=/usr/share/icons/
ITHEME=Humanity

for size in 16 22 24 32 48;
do
  mkdir -p $HOME/.icons/$ITHEME/mimes/$size;
  for file in $ISOURCE/$ITHEME/mimes/$size/*.svg;
  do
    ln -s $file $HOME/.icons/$ITHEME/mimes/$size/`basename $file .svg`.png;
  done;
done;

The Gentoo-Ten LiveDVD is available in two flavors, a hybrid x86/x86_64 version, and an x86_64-only version. The livedvd-x86-amd64-32ul-10.0 will work on x86 or x86_64. If your arch is x86, then boot with the default gentoo kernel. If your arch is amd64 boot with the gentoo64 kernel. This means you can boot a 64bit kernel and install a customized 64bit userland while using the provided 32bit userland. The livedvd-amd64-multilib-10.0 version is for x86_64 only.
