evolution + dbus problem

[.hesoez]

hi,

i've got a problem with evolution
i works just fine but when i want to open a mail-message it crashes

Code: Select all

[ebuild   R   ] mail-client/evolution-2.2.1.1  +crypt -debug -doc +gstreamer +ipv6 -kerberos -ldap -mono +mozilla -nntp -pda +spell +ssl 0 kB

when i run it from a terminal

Code: Select all

jim@hercules ~ $ evolution
es menu class init
adding hook target 'source'

Disable "Generate a D-BUS message when new mail arrives" under Mail Preferences.

Have you started the D-BUS daemon?

Code: Select all

# rc-status | grep dbus

If not you may need to start it and add it to the default runlevel:

Code: Select all

# /etc/init.d/dbus start
# rc-update add dbus default

Or you could disable it as was suggested above.

i disabled the "generate a D-BUS message when new mail arrives" and it works again.
D-BUS has been running all the time though.

thx

I get the same thing, and I think it may be due to the fact that recently the dbus api changed, so there could be a mismatch between the two.

Disable "Generate a D-BUS message when new mail arrives" under Mail Preferences.

Ok, I now recall having set this checkbox. But how do you disable this option, now that evolution will crash right from the start?

[loginx]

Do this in order to disable the dbus message from evolution:

Open a shell and enter the following commands in order:

Code: Select all

dbuslaunch="`which dbus-launch 2>/dev/null`"
eval `$dbuslaunch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session`
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID
evolution &

Evolution will now run properly but you should avoid this method.
Now go in your evolution preferences, disable the dbus message, stop it, and launch it normally.

Thanks. I already solved this by creating a post on its own about this issue.

The solution is here and seem to be a bit simpler than what you propose.

I salute your post anyhow.
