Evolution calendar does not show birthdays for contacts
Last modified: 2011-02-06 01:21:14 UTC
Evolution calendar does not show birthdays of my local contacts, regardless of the birthdays/anniversaries calendar source being checked or unchecked. Please note that most of my contacts have birthdays assigned to them and those where shown at some time in the past, but I do not know when exactly the problem appeared. I already tried to create a fresh profile by doing the following before reimporting my contacts from a *.vcf file: evolution --force-shutdown rm -rf .gconf/apps/evolution rm -rf .evolution rm -rf .config/evolution rm -rf .local/share/evolution killall gconfd-2 evolution Regarding to the bug described above this had no effect. Any suggestions how to debug this? I already missed a birthday because of that :'( The following messages are shown, when starting evolution from the console, but I have no idea whether they are related to the problem: $ evolution (evolution:8873): GLib-CRITICAL **: the GVariant format string `(u)' has a type of `(u)' but the given value has a type of `(s)' (evolution:8873): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_get: assertion `valid_format_string (format_string, TRUE, value)' failed
