In an earlier reply, I said I thought this had been solved. However it's back on one machine, but not on the other.
I simply started Evo and tried to compose a message. Autocompletion should have worked but didn't. I can send and recieve mail, but can't do anything with address books (such as search for a contact). Then I tried starting e-d-s manually (this is a fresh session BTW): <log> [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ps ax|grep evo 16767 ? Sl 0:00 /opt/evolution/libexec/evolution/2.4/evolution-alarm-notify --sm-config-prefix /evolution-alarm-notify-klwBoZ/ --sm-client-id 10d8686972000111715323700000050400009 --screen 0 16967 pts/3 S+ 0:00 grep evo [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ /opt/evolution/bin/evolution-2.4 evolution-shell-Message: Killing old version of evolution-data-server... adding hook target 'source' (evolution-2.4:16972): camel-WARNING **: camel_exception_get_id called with NULL parameter. (evolution-2.4:16972): camel-WARNING **: camel_exception_get_id called with NULL parameter. (evolution-2.4:16972): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_gc_set_foreground: assertion `GDK_IS_GC (gc)' failed (evolution-2.4:16972): libebook-WARNING **: Can't find installed BookFactories (evolution-2.4:16972): libebook-WARNING **: Can't find installed BookFactories (evolution-2.4:16972): libebook-WARNING **: Can't find installed BookFactories [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ </log> So there are two things here: 1) Starting Evo doesn't start e-d-s. 2) e-d-s when started manually doesn't appear to communicate with Evo. I've checked bonobo-activation-config.xml and it's correct (i.e. it hasn't changed in several months). However on my other machine, on an apparently identical config of Evo, everything works correctly. poc On Mon, 2005-12-05 at 19:52 +0530, Sushma Rai wrote: > Looks like address book component is not getting loaded. > > Can you start evolution-data-server and evolution form > console and see if there are any error messages? > > Thanks, > Sushma. > > On Sat, 2005-12-03 at 09:17 -0400, Patrick O'Callaghan wrote: > > [Evo 2.4.2 and 2.5.1] > > > > I have 2 address books, one local (Personal) and one remote (LDAP).
