I'm solwly starting Gnus at my Pc and I'm having troubles
reading the Agent loaded files.
-- Downloading the selected files from newsgrous worked ok,
and they are on my disk
But if I start gnus-unplugged and try to read any of the downloaded
newsgroups I get error error below. The group line was:
*: nntp+uutiset.saunalahti.fi:alt.privacy.anon-server
I traced the error to the call:
(deffoo nnml-request-group (group &optional server dont-check)
...
(t
(nnheader-re-read-dir nnml-current-directory)
(nnmail-activate 'nnml)
;; --> Which calls
(funcall (intern (format "%s-request-list" backend))
--> nnml-request-list
(setq nnml-group-alist (nnmail-get-active))
================== nil
(set-buffer nntp-server-buffer)
========== " *nntpd*
--> buffer is empty
(let ((active (nth 1 (assoc group nnml-group-alist))))
================================= nil
....
why is the nntp-server-buffer pointing to *nntpd* buffer? That
causes the nnml-group-alist be empty and thus the error message.
The initial agent variables seems look ok
nnagent-directory "~/News/agent/nntp/uutiset.saunalahti.fi/"
nnagent-active-file "~/News/agent/nntp/uutiset.saunalahti.fi/agent.lib/active"
except that there doesn't seem to be "active" file; only a "history"
file. When is it supposed to be generated?
Is there something I could investigate more to find the cause?

That's what it (virtually) always is.

It's supposed to be generated when you press `g' or the like. You get
no active files in the Agent hierarchy?

I upgraded to 0.69, wiped the whole agen nntp directory and started from
fresh with J u ... and all works fine. Puzzling, but relieving.
So this case is closed now.
