Description Kenneth Eschrich 2002-04-09 22:13:28 UTC
When enabling the EAddress conduit in gnomecc an error box appears saying
"Unable to instantiate," then when actually attempting to sync the pda, another
box appears saying "Loading conduit "e_address_conduit" failed!"

I'm running Evolution 1.0.3-r3, but the problem existed in previous versions
too.  Seems to be just a problem with the ebuild as I've had it work perfectly
on other distros.  Also is not central to my computer as several others in my
dorm are experiencing the same problem.

so, this is a part of evolution, or do I dig into gnome-pilot to solve this?

Comment 2 Kenneth Eschrich 2002-04-13 12:39:31 UTC
This is a part of evolution.  The gnome-pilot-conduits package does come with
some conduits, but they are for installing programs, syncing the time, sending
email, etc., and are in no way related to evolution.  The following conduits
come as part of the evolution package and are specifically for syncing to
evolution: EAddress, ECalendar, and EToDo.  ECalendar and EToDo work great, the
problem is just with EAddress.

Matt,

you're fast becoming the de-facto evolution debug master
Comment 4 Carl-Christian Salvesen 2002-04-23 04:37:39 UTC
Maybe this helps ? :)

Seemant, I'm not the best person for this package. It seems I need to go through
pilot link in gnomecc first to be able to get into the pilot conduit stuff.
pilot link requires one of these PDA devices, which I don't have. pilot link
wants me to put the device into the cradle to complete that part of gnomecc.

I did grab ximian's src.rpm. they're using a 0.9.5 version with several patches.
That might be useful as per the ximian comment to whoever.

Have you all actually looked in the control-center thingy like someone in the
above thread suggests?
Comment 7 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-26 13:38:39 UTC
from what I understand, the -r6 ebuild of Evolution has this problem fixed.  Any
feedback, please?
Comment 8 Kenneth Eschrich 2002-04-26 13:55:38 UTC
Apears to be fixed as of r6, although I don't know if this was a hack or a final
fix.  Will leave it up to package maintainer to change bug status.
Comment 9 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-26 14:02:11 UTC
This seems to be resolved
