I have had this problem this week also. Have a look at the Hard Drive access (LED in front of PC if it is connected). It has always done it in conjunction with hard disk access in my case, also several versions of SuSE in the past. See my mail of today 11:45 CET. Can you get to another Linux box and ssh to the locked down system? I can. Then I usually try to kill Evo, but it does not always help. Today I waited 5 minutes and used console Str-Alt-F1 and logged in, killing Evo and the system was OK. Now all seems to be OK. In the past I also could not get Evo to run again, with Bugbuddy popping up. All that helped sometimes was to rename the .evolution directory to .evolution-old, and restarted Evo. It built a new directory and all else. I had to rebuild most of the filters, pop-accounts etc. Sometimes renaming the new .evolution directory and copying the old .evolution-old to .evolution worked; but mostly not. There ware such problems before. Look in the Mailing-List Archives. hth :-) Al _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
