Ubuntu reinstall + leafnode + gnus.

Ubuntu reinstall + leafnode + gnus.

[Hadron]

I recently had to reinstall because of a barfed upgrade to Ubuntu Gutsy
(beta). Silly me. I attempted this because of broken Dbus & HAL issues
which, unfortunately, seem to by plaguing many people at the moment.

I am using Gnus with leafnode.

Has anyone here experience with this? I kept my /home partition and my
/var but now no new posts are appearing so I can only put this down to
post IDs and either/or gnus or leafnode thinking they are further ahead
than the feed from news.individual.net. How do I reset either Gnus (or
slightly OT but hopefully someone here knows, leafnode) so that new
posts are picked up?

Email reply is appreciated since I'm not getting any new posts :-;

Resetting Gnus is described in (info "(gnus)Changing Servers").

But your description is not clear to me.  Did you run leafnode before?
Gnus probably only knows about leafnode (not about
news.individual.net) so you first should investigate if leafnode
(fetchnews) fetches the articles correctly.

Setting some debug option as described in
$prefix/etc/leafnode/config.example and running fetchnews with -vv or
even -vvv may help.  (leafnode2, not sure about leafnode1).  You may
ask about this on the leafnode list.

Bye, Reiner.

It may help to resubscribe to the groups you want by visiting the
server buffer (`^' from the group buffer), browsing the NNTP server
(`SPACE' on the `nntp' line in the server buffer), and then
subscribing to the required groups (`u').

HTH,
