    install rssowl and fix read past end of file error

    to install rssowl visit this web site , theres a link to install the repo for ubuntu

    http://packages.rssowl.org/README


    i have had rssowl running for a few days now and today my pc locked up hard

    i had no choice but to hit the reset button

    upon restart rssowl refused to start

    kept giving me an error that it could not starts cos it was trying to read past end of file

    lucky for me i back up my rss feed list every now and then

    i went to $ home/.rssowl2

    and delete this directory fully

    now when restart rssowl it start up like a new install and ask for my *.opml file

    it loaded up and all good again

    hope this helps others

    If someone asks you to sudo rm -rf anything, don't do it, and don't run any command with rm in it unless you know exactly what you're doing.things i have learnt changing from Xp pro to Ubuntu
