can't reproduce. make sure you don't have the older evolution running when you start evolution-2.0 as for the gnome pilot stuff, it is a related problem to evolution-data-server not working properly. can you try running evolution-data-server from the console and see if there are any error messages? /usr/libexec/evolution-data-server-1.0
This is the output: lychee@mu games $ /usr/libexec/evolution-data-server-1.0 evolution-data-server-Message: Starting server in server_log_handler evolution-data-server-Message: Server up and running exactly the same if i use root...
some updates: when i am logged in as root, and i start evolution-data-server on a console, and then i run evolution, evolution-data-server spews out some output; however, as a normal user, it doesn't do anything... using both root and normal users, i cannot start up a second instance of e-d-s; i get: evolution-data-server-Message: Starting server libedata-book-Message: Error registering the PAS factory: already active evolution-data-server-ERROR **: server.c:349: could not initialize Server service "BOOKS"; terminating aborting... Aborted
You can't start up multiple instances of the eds daemon anyway. I can't reproduce this, what versions of evo/eds are you using? Does it work as another user (ie, not as root, not as your problematic user, but a new user)?
No response, see my suggestions above.
