Mageia forum

Hi all...using mageia 7.1 updated...with no apparent reason Pan does not load anymore...from the console I get the message :
Invalid size
Core dump


I uninstalled and reinstalled again but get the same message...
to make matter more complicated for me I tried with my junk account and there I can load Pan but I do not seem to be able to get a connection...
using nntp.aior.org:119

Any help will be appreciated...
TIA
Santo

That's strange, as there hasn't been any update to pan since mga7 release.

Could you get a backtrace from pan, and post it here please ?
See http://pan.rebelbase.com/bugs/

Thanks for answring...first of all I am not an expert so I am not sure what you are asking me to do...anyway :

not really sure where to go from here...
Thanks again,

as suggested somewhere in another mageia forum where I could log in with my junk account I renamed .pan2 ( probably for some reason corrupted ) to .pan2.old
and restarted pan ...it worked

Thank for your help...
