I have tried reverting to Evolution 3.44.4 but that ends with an compiler error as something it depends on in Gnome no longer exists.
Created attachment 843245 [details] strace with file traces when gives symlink error on /var/run Hello, On my side, I’m getting the following error: bwrap: Can't make symlink at /var/run: File exists I’m attaching strace log for only file traces.
I have managed to successfully revert back to 3.44 - I had to downgrade some other gnome programs/libraries. # more /etc/portage/package.mask/evolution >gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-3.46 >mail-client/evolution-3.46 >dev-libs/libgweather-4.2 >gnome-extra/gnome-calendar-43 >gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon-43 >gnome-base/gnome-desktop-43 >gnome-base/nautilus-43

Does it work if you run /usr/libexec/at-spi-bus-launcher --launch-immediately before launching evolution (from same terminal, to be sure)?
(In reply to Mart Raudsepp from comment #9) > Does it work if you run > > /usr/libexec/at-spi-bus-launcher --launch-immediately > > before launching evolution (from same terminal, to be sure)? Sorry for the delay, I needed to disable my package masks and rebuild Evolution and its dependencies before I could re-test. I can now confirm that command is definitely needed before starting Evolution, otherwise it just hangs forever. IMHO this should be fixed to auto launch if not already running.
It shouldn't be needed, but might give clues what's going on there then. Evolution works fine for me, but I don't have /run/user/${USER_ID}/at-spi, for example. I assume the command I gave to run before makes you end up having that directory in your case?
To clarify on what I said about my system (in lack of an edit button here): I haven't upgraded to the 3.46 version yet (though I think the issue would be somewhere else) and at-spi is handled by a systemd user service for me - it's running, but without a directory in the given runpath. The service itself is also conditional and I believe wouldn't be running if I didn't have a semi-a11y thing enabled in GNOME settings (highlight mouse cursor position on ctrl key that use during screen sharing sometimes)

I'm seeing the same issue, also not a systemd user.
(In reply to Volker Wegert from comment #14) > I'm seeing the same issue, also not a systemd user. Workaround at the moment is to forcibly launch the at-spi-bus-launcher daemon. [b] $ more bin/evolution.sh /usr/libexec/at-spi-bus-launcher --launch-immediately& evolution& [/b] HTH.
Are you still hitting this with a fully updated system?
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #16) > Are you still hitting this with a fully updated system? Nope, I haven't seen this issue for ages. I don't need to use my workaround any more. There is another issue that I haven't reported - waiting for 5 mins for Evolution to appear on my desktop, unfortunately I haven't been able to get to the bottom of that one yet.
We will close this then. For the other issue... I would start by testing on a newly created user account and a fresh configuration. Also, maybe strace could point to what is blocking evolution from appearing for 5 mins (if nothing meaningful is reported in the terminal when trying to execute it) Thanks for the feedback
I feel like maybe these issues appear when there's no running user dbus session bus, e.g. due to using Xorg with .xinitrc and not starting it, or similar. Just a guess, based on some recent examples involving at-spi when the user dbus session bus isn't started (and nothing has triggered starting it via USE=X on it making it start sometimes by other apps than evolution). On a desktop system, a dbus user session bus for a logged in user is pretty much a requirement these days - and unlike with systemd, it is possible to get a user (desktop) login without one on a OpenRC system still. Anyhow, just a guess, so maybe that's what changed over time, or the version upgrades since.
Oh, did some necromancy due to the CC mail, thinking it was only recently closed. Sorry, and sorry for the yet more mail from the sorry :)
