[Windows] Address book: Cannot determine session bus address
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:55:45 UTC
Whenever I try to launch the contacts area, I'm faced with this: This address book cannot be opened. Please check that the path C:\Users\Compaq_Administrator\AppData\Local\evolution\addressbook\system exists and that permissions are set to access it. The error, is "Cannot determine session bus address (not implemented for this OS) What exactly is going on here? I'm on Windows Vista SP1.

And if so, what was the result? I actually did create the folder, but still, same result. I think the "Cannot determine session bus address (not implemented for this" part may be the part causing this wonkyness. I'm also having an odd problem where it can't open a new POP mail store I made cause it somehow thinks at some point there's a "/" in it (and I know for a fact Windows uses "\" for directories
The "/" as path separator is not a problem. Windows can cope with that (at least the C runtime). The problem might be that the GDbus might not be working on windows. I did not have by late any time to work on this kind of things, so all patches to make this work are very very very welcome.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
