Hello all, I've recently discovered CheckGmail. I decided to give it a try and I kinda like it. However, upon returning to my workstation the next day (upon reboot)... I cannot activate CheckGmail. I've tried executing from CLI with the following error message:

Code: Select all

$: checkgmail
Warning: Gtk2::Sexy not found ...

CheckGmail uses Gtk2::Sexy for clickable URLs in mail messages
Please download and install from CPAN (http://search.cpan.org) if you want to use this feature ...


not well-formed (invalid token) at line 16, column 15, byte 515 at /usr/lib/perl5/XML/Parser.pm line 187
Perl exited with active threads:
   1 running and unjoined
   0 finished and unjoined
   0 running and detached


The return states 1 running and unjoined, does that mean that CheckGmail is running? If so, why doesn't it display in my notification menu, why doesn't it display an icon when I receive a new mail? And what on Earth does 'Sexy not found...' mean? I mean hello, I'm right here! Sorry, had to do that.

Anyway, if anybody could give a heads up on what this message may mean I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Have you tried removing Checkmail & doing a total reinstallation? If not i would suggest doing that, if not there seems to be a working fix for "Hardy & Intrepid" at the link below:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/checkgmail/+bug/250053

Thanks for the reply DarkChild, but no such luck. I've tried reinstalling and looked at the bug reports, but couldn't find a similar match to my error(s).

I will try to install from scratch from CheckGmail's web-site later today. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks,

Hi archeryguru2000.

If you ask me on that issue,
I use Gmail Manager.
and there is no problem at all with getting the mail.
here you can see how to configure the Gmail Manager.







you can use some more help from here:

hope that will make the trix for you.

Actually, I think I have resolved the issue. I must have given CheckGmail some invalid option or something because I simply deleted (renamed) my ~/.checkgmail/prefs.xml file and all is well again. I'm not really sure what I did in the first place to cause the problem but everything is working fine now.

Thanks everybody,

Thanks for the info on Gmail Manager. I'll definitely give this a look. It looks quite handy.

Thanks (whomever) for marking this thread solved. I had come back to actually do this myself but you beat me to it.

Thanks,
