Bug 387705 – mail-client/evolution-2.32.3-r1: addressbook does not work

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Juergen Rose 2011-10-19 16:27:56 UTC]

Since Oct 2010 I can't use the evolution addressbook. I can't use my old contacts, I can't enter new contacs at all systems where I checked it.

E.g. moose:
I do not have a .evolution directory in my home dir and ~rose/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/ is an empty directory which I can read, write and search.

rose@moose:/home/rose(23)$ ll ~rose/.evolution
/bin/ls: Zugriff auf /home/rose/.evolution nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
rose@moose:/home/rose(24)$ ll ~rose/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/
insgesamt 0
rose@moose:/home/rose(25)$ ll -d ~rose/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/
drwx------ 2 rose rose 4096 19. Okt 17:56 /home/rose/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system//



If I start 'evolution --component=addressbook', I see in the terminal window:

rose@moose:/home/rose(26)$ evolution --component=addressbook

(evolution:3933): evolution-network-manager-WARNING **: network_manager_check_initial_state: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1

(evolution:3933): libebook-WARNING **: e-book.c:3078: cannot activate book: Fehler beim Aufruf von StartServiceByName für org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.AddressBook: Zeitüberschreitung wurde erreicht

(evolution:3933): e-utils-WARNING **: Something called e_alert_dialog_constructed() with a NULL parent window.  This is no longer legal, please fix it.


Furthermore there is a popup-window, which says that the addresscook could not be opened, I should check if I can access /home/rose/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/ and that there was a timeout during the call of StartServiceByName for org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.AddressBook.

For a new user rose_new created some hours ago I get the same results:

rose_new@moose ~ $ LC_ALL=C evolution --component=addressbook

Yes, check your cairo USE flags and try with USE="-qt4"
