Subject: gnus starting with an error message - very strange
Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2017 12:09:10 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <dd05eefa-7cbf-4b59-8533-06502390976e@googlegroups.com> (raw)
The error message is "Warning: Opening nntp server on news...failed: >>> (error news/nntp Name or service not known); Server nntp+news previously determined to be down; not retrying;"
The strange thing is, that I have two computers with very similar OS (arch linux), sharing the same emacs config, and on one machine it works perfectly, and on the other I get the error above. The really strange thing is, that on the first (good) machine there is no error when I start gnus form "emacs -Q" while on the second (bad) machine, gnus is complaining (the same error message) even if it is was started from an emacs with no config loaded (i.e. emacs -Q).
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong??? How I should even start fixing it. emacs -Q already tried. reinstalling emacs also tried
I was asking around #emacs on freenode, but since I switched to ERC recently, and was trying to fix this error, I always disconnected from IRC before seeing any answers :( (stupid me)
Best regards,
Emil
