GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 631923
after sync: evolution calender no longer usable
Last modified: 2010-10-27 06:34:33 UTC
Created attachment 172136 [details] log running evolution in terminal On ubuntu lucid amd64, i have the following bug: I use evolution only as a calendar-viewing-program, because of the good intergration in gnome. Since i tried to sync with my mobile-phone trough bluetooth (tried multiple programs like syncevolution and opensync with irmc and gnokii) it somehow corrupted evolution. This means that I cannot any calendar data, it just gives an error. No Problem, i thought, lets just erase all userdata (i use only calendars anyway). So I stopped evolution, removed .evolution .config/apps/evolution logged out --> Then i redid all the config (i thought i had a fresh evolution) and the error (cannot add new calendar data) persisted. I even did the following: logged out, on tty1 I purged most of evolution-packages (just the ones you cannot remove due to dependencies with gnome), removed the userdirs on the console, shutdown, reinstalled the packages --> error persisted Even with a new user, or other old useraccounts, evolution-calendar stays unusable! reproducing in console or gdb gives the following error: libecal-WARNING **: Cannot activate ECal: The name org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Calendar was not provided by any .service files I have also reported this to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/658693
(In reply to comment #0) > reproducing in console or gdb gives the following error: > > libecal-WARNING **: Cannot activate ECal: The name > org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Calendar was not provided by any .service files Thanks for a bug report. This means that the evolution failed to run e-calendar-factory process, which is part of evolution-data-server. It seems to me that you have pretty hosted your installation, because this one comes as part of 2.30.0+ (but you reported this as 2.28.x). Be sure you've same version of evolution and evolution-data-server running and that there is no issue with your DBus. Note also that your attached log claims: > (evolution:4655): camel-WARNING **: Could not open camel provider directory > (/usr/lib/evolution-data-server-1.2/camel-providers-14): No such file or > directory which is another indication that your installation is broken. I've no idea about Ubuntu, and this really seems like a Ubuntu issue, so please ask them for help.
ok, i reinstalled the whole system, now the strange behavior is gone...
Thanks. Pity we didn't find the cause.
