GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 328598
Can't select address book
Last modified: 2006-01-25 22:20:13 UTC
Please describe the problem: Can't select address book called "Bugs." Steps to reproduce: 1. Create address book called "Bugs" 2. Try and select it when adding a new contact or when via the "To:" field when sending a new message. Actual results: The mailing list address book gets selected. Expected results: Bugs address book to be selected. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: Ok 3 address books, in the following non-alphabetical (!!!) order: 1) Personal 2) Mailing lists 3) Bugs
Under contacts tab, when selecting the "Bugs" tab. Double clicking where it says "Double-click here to create a new Contact." Brings the dialog with "Mailing lists" preselected and doesn't allow the selection of "Bugs."
I tried debuging this bug with shres from #evolution, I added a 4th addressbook and I couldn't select it. Then tried to delete the 3rd addressbook, "Bugs," and got the following error: "Could not remove addressbook." Any debuging info I should add?
Just a shot in the dark, but can you please provide the output of the following command? It might help here. gconftool-2 --get /apps/evolution/calendar/sources
ems@heater:~$ gconftool-2 --get /apps/evolution/calendar/sources [<?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1138177414.16518.0@heater" name="On This Computer" base_uri="file:///home/ems/.evolution/calendar/local/" readonly="no"><source uid="1138177414.16518.1@heater" name="Personal" relative_uri="system" color="becedd"/></group> ,<?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1138177414.16518.2@heater" name="On The Web" base_uri="webcal://" readonly="no"/> ,<?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1138177414.16518.3@heater" name="Contacts" base_uri="contacts://" readonly="no"><source uid="1138177414.16518.4@heater" name="Birthdays & Anniversaries" relative_uri="/"/></group> ,<?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1138177414.16518.5@heater" name="Weather" base_uri="weather://" readonly="no"/> ]
Doh! I'm sorry, my bad. :-/ I sure did mean addressbook, rather than calendar. Can you please do the same with this command? Thanks for the fast reply. gconftool-2 --get /apps/evolution/addressbook/sources
ems@heater:~$ gconftool-2 --get /apps/evolution/addressbook/sources [<?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1138177415.16518.13@heater" name="On This Computer" base_uri="file:///home/ems/.evolution/addressbook/local" readonly="no"><source uid="1138177415.16518.14@heater" name="Personal" relative_uri="system"><properties><property name="completion" value="true"/></properties></source><source uid="1138198947.8930.0@heater" name="Mailing lists" relative_uri=""><properties><property name="completion" value="true"/></properties></source><source uid="1138206317.9329.4@heater" name="Bugs" uri="file:///home/ems/.evolution/addressbook/local" relative_uri=""/><source uid="1138206734.9329.5@heater" name="test" relative_uri=""/></group> ,<?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1138177415.16518.15@heater" name="On LDAP Servers" base_uri="ldap://" readonly="no"/> ]
OK, there it is. Note the *empty* relative_uri properties. <source uid="1138198947.8930.0@heater" name="Mailing lists" relative_uri=""> <properties><property name="completion" value="true"/></properties> </source> <source uid="1138206317.9329.4@heater" name="Bugs" uri="file:///home/ems/.evolution/addressbook/local" relative_uri="" /> Can you please add the output of the following command, too? Thanks. ls -la ~/.evolution/addressbook/local/
ems@heater:~$ ls -la ~/.evolution/addressbook/local/ total 20 drwxr-xr-x 3 ems ems 4096 2006-01-26 05:39 . drwxr-xr-x 4 ems ems 4096 2006-01-26 02:30 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 ems ems 12288 2006-01-26 05:39 addressbook.db drwxr-xr-x 2 ems ems 4096 2006-01-26 02:31 system
Related to bug 316072. No crash here, since no import of contacts, but the Address Books are messed up the very same way. GAR. :-/

ems, can you have a look at bug 316072 and confirm anything in there? Do you recall, how you set up the Address Books? Any tiny details that might have been forgotton?
1) File > New > Address book 2) Made "Mailing list" address book 3) Made "Bugs" address book All On this computer.
