Yes. Now that you mention, I also recall part of the WP-reCAPTCHA FAQ mentioned this. Once I find out that WordPress not Akismet deletes comments automatically after 15 days, I’ll disable Akismet. Until then I sort of rely on the Akismet auto delete functionality.

In a way this is good that reCAPTCHA makes comments indistinguishable (?) from Akismet caught spam and places them in the same queue. I’ll take advantage of it to block the worst offenders if I can from getting through the web server very far, in the way I outlined above.

Personally I’m fond of reCAPTCHA and can’t imagine any effective way against it regardless of various opinions. So because of this the fact that it wasn’t catching SPAM posts seamed very unlikely to me. I’m glad it is as since I installed it, I have seen a complete stop in SPAM ‘new comment’ messages in my inbox. On top of that I’m watching to see what effect it will have on reducing spam user registrations, as I just enabled it on that.

Again, thanks Ben! Keep up the great work!

Due to the implementation of the reCAPTCHA plugin, spam caught by reCAPTCHA appears in the akismet queue. When one makes a request in the browser, the comment gets deleted from the akismet queue automatically, however many bots don’t trigger this code path.

Our recommendation is to turn off akismet (avoiding false positives) and then ignore the spam queue.

Configuring a user for mysql is only necessary if you want to use a system level mysqld instance, not the usual stand-alone instance started by Akonadi with files and sockets in the user’s home directory.

Thanks for the followup. Appreciated.

Yup. You certainly can. Can’t recall now why I threw in xwininfo (I’ve used this command for what seamed like decades). I suspect that either xwd didn’t return proper windows results (ie was getting the ID differently which didn’t work) or xwininfo was more reliable at the time (or simply threw in xwininfo as a reminder to myself on how to get window information - ). I don’t recall now.

Anyway, you can definitely use xwd without xwininfo as you pointed out.

Thanks,

Cool. Curious. Please demonstrate how screen can rename Konsole, gnome-terminal or mrxvt tab title text.

Thanks,

Appreciate the feedback.

I’m assuming here that you’ve received the same error in the akonadiserver.error file as outlined in red above and that your path /root/.config/akonadi/ exists even though there may be no files in it.

In this case follow step 3 above which will create the mysql-local.conf file for you. In case it doesn’t work, you can always remove the mysql-local.conf file later on.

Thanks,

But I dont have any type or kind of conf file in /root/.config/akonadi/mysql-local.conf.
