For the startup problems I would try doing the following, although I'm not sure it will fix it (must be done as root):

chown dovecot:dovecot /var/run/dovecot

If that doesn't get rid of the startup errors, then change it back using:

chown root:root /var/run/dovecot

There are several ways to check your mail. Assuming that your mail server is working correctly, you should be able to connect to it from outlook, evolution, thunderbird, whatever as you would for any other mail account. Just set up your information - in the account settings and test it out - try sending a message to an account that you set up with the mail program, etc. etc. You can also do it the down and dirty way using telnet: http://www.yuki-onna.co.uk/email/pop.html I would only do that if you are having problems with a normal mail program as you can see where things are going wrong if this doesn't work. There are also webmail things you can host on your server (not sure if dovecot comes with a default one or not), that you can configure.

I'm thinking that you shouldn't hit ctrl-], but I'm not that sure - haven't used telnet much. If that doesn't work, try using the following:

telnet [your domain ie. domainname.com] 110
HELO [your domain name again ie. DOMAINNAME.COM

And try the above using mail.domainname.com as well. EDIT: http://www.yuki-onna.co.uk/email/smtp.html - look at this too - might help.

That's because it should be 'helo' not 'ehlo' :p

Even better than the last one - if I could I'd vote yes. You shuold edit the submission text though - right before the ROM Change line, you still have the text stating that you used the European ROM.

Make sure that the skip-grant-tables is out of my.cnf and make sure that everything still works when you restart. If it does, then you should have mysql set up now - w00t. For dovecot, the problem might be that the owner is root although I don't think it would be set up as that if dovecot needed permissions. What I found online seemed to say that the owner/user should be dovecot/dovecot, although I couldn't find too many references to this specific issue. I would recommend trying the following as root:

chown dovecot:dovecot /var/run/dovecot

and see if that fixes anything. If you still get errors switch it back to root using

chown root:root /var/run/dovecot

First I'd make sure that mysqld is running. You can check that by typing

ps ax | grep mysql

You should get some output - if not then your mysql server isn't running. If it is running, then you can restart it by editing the [mysqld] section of /etc/my.cnf (may be /etc/mysql/my.cnf or something else similar) and add the line:

skip-grant-tables

Then restart the mysql daemon:

/etc/init.d/mysqld restart

You should now be able to login without a username or password to perform maintenance. Make sure you remove the skip-grant-tables line from my.cnf when you are finished. Login to mysql and to the database mysql. The following should do it:

 mysql mysql

Now check your user table to see what it does look like:

SELECT * FROM user

You should get a few results back - each with a hostname (or %), a username, and an encrypted password. You can then permissions and whatnot like you see on: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/default-privileges.html As far as system mail is concerned - some research seems to say that new versions of ubuntu (Breezy) don't install the mailx package by default. You can install it yourself(and I would recommend it as it can give you useful information when stuff goes bad). For dovecot, can you give the output of:

ls -ld /var/run/dovecot

debian-sys-maint would be a username set up by the installer you used that is used to do maintenance stuff. From the looks of it, your whole mysql permissions may be messed up. I would recommend doing what dehacked said. Shut down your mysql server and start it back up with the '--skip-grant-tables' option. Then use mysqladmin to set up everything how you want it. Double-check the debian-sys-maint information and see if you can figure out what it is supposed to be set to. As far as mail server - that warning doesn't seem to be a problem if you only see it once, and the next time you restart the server they go away: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2006-August/015063.html . If they stick around, you may need to do some manual permission changing.

Alrighty - I guess I'll trust you ;) You do swing 4 times at the final boss one time - quick fix though since it's at the end of the movie. I also think that more damage boosting would be good. There are plenty of movies on this site that use it - it doesn't look unprofessional because you can tell that it's being used to boost you forward. The goal of the run is 'fastest time possible' and it 'takes damage to save time' - If you are going to take some damage to save time, might as well take it whenever it will save time - IMO.

I don't think there are any places I took damage where it could have been avoided and been quicker. Every time I had to take damage I spent several dozen rerecords testing frame by frame whether a jump could get me past it. As for the missed attacks, are you referring to the enemy dog/soldier you run into twice in the game? They have wide hitboxes and I think I managed to tag them every time.

The main place that it looked like taking damage was slower was when you got hit by the lava stuff falling in the latter half of the movie. Getting hit pushed you backwards requiring you to jump across again (albeit with invincibility). I haven't tested it, but it seems like waiting for the break in the lava would be quicker. During the final boss battle there was one point where you hit the boss 4 times in one cycle instead of 3 - does that last hit get registered? I am viewing this without volume, so I'm just going on the fact that the boss doesn't flash on your 4th swing.

I'm assuming that your probably doing this work on your own private computer? Do you have some sort of firewall/router set up that could be blocking connections on certain ports? For the mysql errors - they are most likely related to the changes you made, although that is good advice to replace root(although good choice of a password makes it less needed). Do you still have the specific commands you used to set everything up (through your shell history or whatever else)? You can * out all the sensitive information. Notices for new mail are probably just linux system mail. Type 'mail' at the command line, and you will probably see the mail there (which may or may not give you any information about why things aren't working).

I've never played this game before, but it looks like a good game choice to me -- except for the final boss :p - he just takes way too long to kill. Your run of it was okay, but it looked to me like it could still be improved. There were times that it looked like killing some of the enemies would have been quicker than suffering the lag. There are also places where it looks like you took damage when it could have been avoided and would have been quicker. Also, some of your attacks seem to miss. If I could vote I'd be leaning between meh and no. Great game choice, but it looks improvable to me.
