[gnu.emacs.gnus] Problem with GNUS 3.8

harry@rainbow.atmos.washington.edu (Harry Edmon) (09/21/88)

Here is the output from the emacs debugger when GNUS bombs:

Thanks to John Robinson at BBN, I found my problem.  You must remove the
old version of the GNUS .elc and .el files from the lisp directory before
installing and byte-compiling the new files.

I just got GNUS 3.8, and am enjoying it a lot.  I'm a dyed-in-the-wool rn
user and I find GNUS easy enough to use that it replaces rn and emacsclient
for news reading and posting.

However, I have some problems.

First of all, is there some way to make it automatically go to the next
newsgroup when you hit n or SPC and it says "end of newsgroup foo.bar, hit n
to go to next group"?

Secondly, I just re-subscribed to a group with U from newsgroup selection
mode, and now when I go to the group and hit SPC, it checks bogus newsgroups
and does nothing else, as if I'd hit b.  What's going on?

   newsgroup when you hit n or SPC and it says "end of newsgroup foo.bar, hit n
   to go to next group"?

There is no way, sorry. GNUS always ask you about it in order to
prevent unexpected exit of current newsgroup.

   Secondly, I just re-subscribed to a group with U from newsgroup selection
   mode, and now when I go to the group and hit SPC, it checks bogus newsgroups
   and does nothing else, as if I'd hit b.  What's going on?

I think the newsgroup you re-subscribed was really bogus. In fact, it
is possible to re-subscribe bogus newsgroup which is not yet
identified so by GNUS. GNUS automatically runs checking of bogus
newsgroups when a bogus newsgroup is selected next time, and remove
them from your .newsrc file. Thus, these deleted newsgroups cannot be
re-subscribed again.
