I have installed Polarbar in openSuSE Linux, under Java v1.6. The
command file with which I start it includes the security policy lines,
and the secuirty policy file is present.
The picture of the bear is displayed, and the expected demand for an
account name is also present. When I type a suggested new name into
the field provided, I get the unhelpful response: "A new account
directory could not be created from the specified account name". It
would be kind if it would tell me why not. Several other names, not
all polite, were all simllaarly rejected. Why might this be happening?
An attempt to dismiss the request for a new account name, BTW, brings
up another message, saying that one can't do that, because you HAVE to
have an account name.
Stan, I have the same setup for all intents and purposes. With PBM on 4
different machines I have had different issues with each install but the
basic issue I've had has been with directory permissions. Generally, the
solution has been to mount the drive/partition with r/w permissions so that
PBM has enough privilege to write the blasted drive. Usually, the initial
problem is that you don't have create permissions in order to create the
required ..../mailer/maildata/<account>/<folder>. The other one that seems
to crop up at random is that some directories will be created with
different capitalizations. I nearly always install and point the program
to a common .../mailer for every instance to access. Check the target
folder carefully and look at the capitalization as well as permissions.
FYI. my command line on this box is (note the '...' around the app path)::
'/home/will/Polarbar/mailer' -d /os2/F/polarbar/mailer -a will
On the laptop the launcher uses the same syntax but a different data path
in -d. You may have to specify a ...../mail in the command argument to
make sure it puts the data where you think it should.
