Bug 415131 – mail-client/evolution-3.2.3-r1 - creating a contact list fails: Error during adding a list No such interface `org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.AddressBook' on object at path /org/gnome/evolution/dataserver/AddressBook/17977/3

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Juergen Rose 2012-05-08 11:40:15 UTC]

I can select New->Contact list and can add some email addresses into the upcoming window. If I press OK in this window, I get the error:

Error during adding a list
No such interface
`org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.AddressBook' on object at 
path /org/gnome/evolution/dataserver/
AddressBook/17977/3

Any hint is appreciated.



Reproducible: Always

Possibilities:

1. crash in /usr/libexec/evolution-addressbook-factory; check your dmesg and ~/.xsession-errors logs, use app-admin/abrt, etc.
2. dbus problem. You can try restarting dbus (/etc/init.d/dbus restart); note that this will kill your X session and many of your running daemons. Check whether you are using any sort of customized session initialization or unusual way of launching evolution that might affect evolutions's ability to use dbus.
