  • Issues with new install

    From Blue White@21:4/134 to apam on Tue Dec 5 09:14:16 2023
    apam,
    Good morning (or afternoon/evening, as the case may be). Yesterday I made
    a new install of Talisman 0.49. I set up a few message areas, including FSX_TST. You may (or may not) have seen my test messages in there.

    I have run into an issue where it looks like Talisman is corrupting the
    squish message area. Initially, I thought it was because I was using
    postie, so I deleted and restarted the message area.

    However, the problem persists. This morning I had 2 messages in the area.
    I received two new messages -- responses to the test message that actually
    made it out.

    That brings the total to 4. I responded to both messages in Talisman.
    However, the message list still only shows 4 messages, even though
    Talisman claims there are now 6. So I cannot see my responses.

    I went ahead and entered a new test message. Now Talisman claims there are
    7 messages, but I can still only see the first 4.

    My tosser, squish, also sees that there is a 5th-7th message, but does not
    pick up any of the 3 new messages to mail out.

    My access level is set to 99. The access level to read FSX_TST is set to
    10. I used the FSE to enter all three new "invisible" messages. Let me know what other info you might need.

    P.S. I just entered an 8th message using the internal editor. Talisman
    sees 8 but will only display the first 4.

    Thanks!


    ... The number you have dailed...Nine-one-one...has been changed.

    Could you please zip up the squish message base (the .sqi and .sqd files)
    and the message base toml config file and send it to me either via email (apamment AT positronicbrain.net) or upload it to my BBS

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    Hey Blue White! Just wanted to respond with my setup, as it's been
    working well with FSX since I set it up.

    I'm running Ubuntu 22.04, so not sure if this is a Windows thing, but I
    use binkd for my mailer (not the built-in Binki) and HPT for tossing (not built-in Postie).

    I've been using that setup from the early days, before Apam cerated
    Postie (but I've also used Postie and it worked well).

    Happy to send my configs if they are helpful.
