Bug 354233 – mail-client/evolution-2.32.2-r1 with cairo[qt4] fails to open address book: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.AddressBook: Timeout was reached

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Allan Gottlieb 2011-02-09 13:46:54 UTC]

This problem has existed for several evolution versions (see bug #348063).
I have been asked to open a new bug.

Current Status: ~amd64 evolution-2.32.2-r1, e-d-s-2.32.2, evo-python-2.32.0,
evo-webcal-2-32-0.  Calendar works; addressbook fails; tasks fail (I don't use
evo for Mail)

When I try, from gnome-terminal, evolution --component=addressbook 
evo starts and asserts "there are no items to show in this view".
Some seconds later, the terminal says

(evolution:16256): libebook-WARNING **: e-book.c:3079: cannot activate book: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.AddressBook: Timeout was reached

(evolution:16256): e-utils-WARNING **: Something called e_alert_dialog_constructed() with a NULL parent window.  This is no longer legal, please fix it.

Also a dialog box appear saying

  Unable to open address book

  This address book cannot be opened.  Please check that the path
  /home/gottlieb/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system exists and that
  permissions are set to access it.

  Detailed error message: Error calling StartServiceByName for
  org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.AddressBook: Timeout was reached

Note that /home/gottlieb/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system *does*
exist and I can read it.  The directory is empty.

I had been asked to move my ~/.evolution to ~/evolution.old, which I did.

If I move it back and try evolution --component=addressbook, the same dialog
box appears but I get the following on the screen

Migrating cached data

Migrating local user data
  rmdir /home/gottlieb/.evolution/addressbook
  FAILED: Directory not empty (contents follows)
          local

(evolution:7204): e-utils-WARNING **: Something called e_alert_dialog_constructed() with a NULL parent window.  This is no longer legal, please fix it.




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. invoke evolution component=addressbook
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Failure messages as above

Expected Results:  
Successful opening of addressbook (must be moved to .local)

This doesn't look normal to me :-/, maybe it wasn't properly migrated, could you please examine your old .evolution* directory trying to find addressbook contents?

It definitely was not migrated.  As noted above, when I move evolution.old to .evolution I get an additional error reported.  This all started when a new
version of evo hit.  I think (not sure) that I synced at the "wrong" time
and wound up with new evo and old e-d-s.

Just now I created a new empty ~/.evolution and then executed
cd ~/.evolution; mkdir local; cd local; mkdir system
I then copied the old (saved) addressbook.db and addressbook.db.summary to
~/.evolution/addressbook/local/system.
I then started evo and it again failed to migrate.  Specifically it said
Migrating cached data
Migrating config data
Migrating local user data
  rmdir /home/gottlieb/.evolution/addressbook
  FAILED: Directory not empty (contents follows)
          local

I gather the glib warnings can be ignored.  It seems to me that either
1. addressbook.db and/or addressbook.db.summary are bad
2. they don't belong in ~/.evolution/addressbook/local/system

Both files do have a bunch of nulls (plus real data). addressbook.db begins
with a few thousand control chars, the vast majority nulls.

Should I post those files?

You are trying to copy files to the old location: .evolution was replaced by .local/share/evolution, then, you should try to put that files under .local/share/evolution. 

This is what I have:

I knew that is the old location.  I wasn't sure that evo used the same
file format in the new location so want evo to do the migration just as it
had done successfully for the calendar.  Now I understand that migration
was just moving the files.  I now moved them.

However, I get the same dialog box and the same messages on the screen as reported above.  Since the dialog box says it can't start a dataserver,
I did a ps x and don't see e-d-s running.

I note that your addressbook is 40x the size of your summary.  For me the
ratio is < 11.  Is that suspicious?

[Comment 5 Pacho Ramos 2011-02-09 22:25:42 UTC]

I don't know, I am out of ideas now :-(

What messages are you getting in the terminal you are using to run evolution now that you have some addressbook files under proper location?

Same as before

(evolution:5022): e-utils-WARNING **: Something called e_alert_dialog_constructed() with a NULL parent window.  This is no longer legal, please fix it.

What is the dataserver it wants?  ps x | grep evo shows
 4007 ?        SLl    0:00 /usr/libexec/evolution/2.32/evolution-alarm-notify
 5022 pts/0    Sl+    0:00 evolution --component=addressbook
should something like e-d-s be running?
Otherwise I wonder if my addressbook is corrupt.

I should add that it still prints the dialog box which has the same msg
that I wrote in the original description of the bug.

It seems that either my server is bad (or missing) or that the addressbook is
bad.

[Comment 7 Pacho Ramos 2011-02-10 09:11:57 UTC]

In the past there were an evolution-data-server executable, but since bonoboless port it is not longer provided.

Please report this to upstream: bugzilla.gnome.org

I hope they will know better what is wrong here

Sorry for the delay.  I just ran the steps in the web page.  The only significant response was

  gottlieb@ajglap ~ $ ./fix-addressbook.py
  Deleting addressbook source 2 which was in a group of 1 items.

Then I started evolution from the terminal and received error reports.  Specifically on the terminal I see after several seconds

  gottlieb@ajglap ~ $ evolution --component=addressbook

  (evolution:2946): libebook-WARNING **: e-book.c:3079: cannot activate book:

  (evolution:2946): e-utils-WARNING **: Something called 
  e_alert_dialog_constructed() with a NULL parent window.  This is no longer 
  legal, please fix it.

The evolution window says

  There are no items to show in this view

And I get the dialog box

  This address book cannot be opened.  Please check that the path
  /home/gottlieb/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system exists and that 
  permissions are set to access it.

  Detailed error message: Error calling StartServiceByName for

The directory specified does exist and I can read it

This means you had a duplicate "Personnal" addressbook, this is ok.

This means your dbus setup has a problem I guess.
Do you have dbus added to your default runlevel and how are you starting gnome ? If you start gnome by hand, by must make sure that consolekit and a session bus exists.

Hopefully this is related to the above problem.

Hopefully, this is just a consequence of the dbus problem as well.

Note that I also have two Personal calendars (even after running the fix).
However, I do not consider this a serious problem as I do just activiate (i.e. check the box) one of them.

Yes dbus is in my default runlevel
  ajglap gottlieb # rc-update | grep dbus
                   dbus |                        default                
I start gnome by running gdm

  ajglap gottlieb # rc-update | grep xdm
                    xdm |                        default                

Console-kit is running
  ajglap gottlieb # ps xa | grep console-kit
   3810 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon --no-daemon

dbus is running
  ajglap gottlieb # ps xa | grep dbus
   3185 ?        Ss     0:01 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system
   3915 ?        S      0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/ssh-agent -- gnome-session
   3919 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 8 --session

Does that show that a session bus exists?

The same error msgs and popup dialog boxes still occur.

yep, I've seen that too and I'll update the script to fix that as well.

yep, that should be enough. Then the bug might be something else. Maybe it relates to bug #356877 ?

Thanksl  Please let me know when it is updated, either here or directly
to [e-mail]

Thanks for the reference.  I just read that bug and the symptoms are different.  However, I tried the "bad fix" (works, but has a big security hole)
chmod o+x /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper and I still received the same errors.

*** Bug 357583 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Comment 17 Pacho Ramos 2011-03-11 10:13:06 UTC]

From duplicated report looks like a user was able to reproduce on a newly created user account, then, please:
1. Create another new account.
2. Launch evolution and tell us how do you configure it to make it fail, tell us if you ever need to add any address to the book to make it hang.

For all the process, always run evolution from a terminal and post here ALL messages you get on every evolution run. Also attach ~/.xsession-errors file just after reproducing the problem, and look for errors or related in messages at the end of /var/log/messages and "dmesg" output

Thanks

[Comment 18 ierdnah 2011-03-12 16:28:19 UTC]

I have the same issue described in this BUG with addressbook.
I've reinstalled gentoo on my PC 3 months ago.
I installed the latest version of evolution 2.32.1-r1.
Now I have evolution 2.32.2-r1.
The addressbook worked ok in both versions.
Yesterday I did a emerge -puD world;emerge --depclean;revdep-rebuild and upgraded kde from 4.4.5 to 4.6.1.
Now evolutions addressbook doesn't work anymore.

Have you tried downgrading dbus to 1.4.1 ? (it would maybe require a dbus-glib rebuild too)

[Comment 22 ierdnah 2011-03-12 17:02:01 UTC]

Yes, I've installed dbus 1.4.6 a few hours ago in my trails to make the addressbook work.
I've downgraded now to dbus 1.4.1 and it's the same.

[Comment 29 Christian Schneider 2011-03-16 11:34:09 UTC]

I have the exact same problem here with evolution-2.32.2 and e-d-s-2.32.2. None of the following proposed solutions worked for me:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/gnome/howtos/gnome-2.32-upgrade.xml
http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg04137.html

I ensured that the data migration worked properly, there is no ~/.evolution directory anymore for my user.

I even tried to delete all previous information about the address books by deleting the relevant directories:

rm -rfv ~/{.gconf/apps,.local/share,.config}/evolution/addressbook

After doing this, starting Evolution, closing Evolution, and starting it again, I had nothing but the local default "Personal" address book in the address book view. But even that is not accessible, I see the same messagebox after some time as reported by Allan Gottlieb, stating: 

"This address book cannot be opened.  Please check that the path /home/chrschn/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system exists and that permissions are set to access it.

Detailed error message: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.AddressBook: Timeout was reached"

The corresponding console output is:

Does your

Check by

ierdnah, would you be so kind to check by 

strace /usr/libexec/e-addressbook-factory 2>&1 | grep -i qt

that you really do not linked against Qt. Please!

I have the same trouble at another box and to recompile cairo was not enough. I found that also libgweather was liked against Qt, recompiled it and this finally solved my problem.

So, check please!

[Comment 54 Ivan Iraci 2011-03-30 23:13:09 UTC]

I had the same idea, but recompiling libgweather did not solve the issue.
Libgweather was linked to qt and now it isn't, but e-addressbook-factory still loads some qt libraries. I walked four levels deep in e-addressbook-factory linked libraries tree (a little of awk and ldd scripting helped) without finding the "culprit".

Just for case, finally when you remove the qt-dependance from libraries you might need to recompile evolution-data-server.

Oh, yeah. Thanks.

And the culprit was:
/usr/lib/evolution-data-server-1.2/extensions/libecalbackendweather.so

Recompiled evolution-data-server and now all is fixed.

I didn't think I should have emerged evolution-data-server again AFTER libgweather...

А) I think that qt-linkage causes this problem in the case when qt was upgraded.

B) 

USE=-qt4 emerge cairo
emerge libgweather
emerge evolution-data-server

If you still have problems afterwards 

ldd /usr/lib/evolution-data-server-1.2/*

to found the problematic shared library.

Then check every library linked against this problematic library to be linked against qt. Recompile this library, then recompile evolution-data-server

[Comment 62 jcat 2011-03-31 18:38:48 UTC]

Good news.  I re-compiled libgweather, then evo-data-server, and it now works great for the first time in nearly 6 months!

Ok, cairo has never had the QT use flag on this system as far as I know.

So if /usr/lib/evolution-data-server-1.2/extensions/libecalbackendweather.so is linked against QT libs like this:

	libQtGui.so.4 => /usr/lib/qt4/libQtGui.so.4 (0xb5fe4000)
	libQtCore.so.4 => /usr/lib/qt4/libQtCore.so.4 (0xb5d51000)


How is it that re-emerging removes that linkage?

Are you sure it was caused by cairo[qt4] and not by libgweather needing to be merged before e-d-s?

Yes, but evolution-data-server is not linked against all these packages. Only against libgweather and cairo

I had this problem on two computers. 

On the the first one, the problem was definitely caused by cairo compiled against qt. To recompile cairo with -qt4 and then to recompile e-d-s resolve the problem. libgweather was not linked against qt. 

On the second cairo was not compiled against qt. But libgweather somehow was. I do not understand how does this happen. To recompile libgweather resolves the problem. Just for case the latter happens with e-d-s 2.30

[Comment 68 Eric Grüttefien 2011-04-01 08:28:20 UTC]

ah rebuild x11-libs/pango helped .. :-)

this had done the trick

USE=-qt4 emerge -1 cairo
emerge -1 pango
emerge -1 libgweather
emerge -1 evolution-data-server

So a workaround has been found but who has to fix this ? 
qt,evolution-data-server,dbus,glib ...

Hm i'm very confused... :-(

maybe it is some kind of recursive dbus interaction of different libs, producing a deadlock alla "lock(a) --lib a call lib b--> while not try_lock(a) {sched_yield()} -return to liba-> unlock(a)

BTW,
  sorry for my bad english also ;-)

Your right !

evolution-data-server is linked against libgweather and cairo
libgweather is linked against cairo and pango
pango is linked against cairo

Thanks,
  Eric

I can confirm that this trick also also fix my addressbook problem.

Not sure why cairo[qt4] causes these problems :-/

[Comment 72 Mishael Sibiryakov 2011-04-13 09:15:49 UTC]

Wow, this workaround fixed my problem with address book too.

[Comment 73 Grigoriy 2011-04-21 11:40:04 UTC]

Thanks to all, this solution:
---
USE=-qt4 emerge cairo
emerge evolution-data-server 
---
helps me.

Hi, I had the same problem and it too was fixed by recompiling cairo with USE=-gt4.

Of cource this should not be regarded as the solution but just as a work-around.

Finally, after spending two days rebuilding things (that didn't help), I did exactly this and have a working mail client again. Evolution's linkage has been flaky for ages, but this is seriously hosed.

Libtool seems to bring in lots of extra linkages that aren't needed, and copies them them around in .la files so they take ages to die. I wonder if killing .la files for all these packages would have cleared the problem quicker or without the use-flag manipulations?

I have a strong suspicion that in some cases a loop of old deps forms and packages need to be re-merged more than once in order to break it - once to take out the package's contribution into others, and once to re-build without the other packages introducing more junk ...

I've just noticed an out-of-tree build of audacity (wxGTK app) having it's CFLAGS polluted with -I/usr/include/qt4 - so it looks like there are more issues waiting around. I think some more bugs are on their way.

Can cairo maintainers give their opinion about what could be causing this problem? Thanks a lot

Not sure if punting all .la files on evolution-data-server and fixing linkage with the perl script as used in gnome-overlay would help on this :-/

thanks to everybody for their efforts.

USE=-qt4 emerge cairo
emerge evolution-data-server

fixed the issue for me.
