Thanks a ton Matthew! Following your hint I found out that my /etc/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml was misconfigured by an old devel installation of evolution -- I was once trying to track some bug.
Once that was fixed all started to work! cheers - jan ----- Original Message ---- From: Matthew Barnes <mbar...@redhat.com> To: evolution-list@gnome.org Sent: Friday, May 15, 2009 3:43:27 AM Subject: Re: [Evolution] how/when does evolution-data-server gets started On Thu, 2009-05-14 at 08:49 -0700, Jan Pfeifer wrote: > sorry for the basic question, but in my system (Ubuntu 9.04) I noticed that > evolution-data-server was not run automatically -- contacts were not working. > > So now I wrote a little script to: > > 1 - start evolution-data-server > 2 - wait 5 seconds > 3 - start evolution > > > But that seems wrong, evolution probably should start evolution-data-server > by itself. > > Do you guys know what could be wrong, or which steps I could make to find out > ? > > Should evolution-data-server be started in the beginning of my session, when > I log in and open X ? evolution-data-server is a Bonobo service. It's started on demand by bonobo-activation-server the first time an application or applet requests a connection to it. When logging into a desktop session, the clock applet is usually the first to request a connection in order to retrieve the day's appointments and tasks. Evolution, of course, also connects to the data server on startup. Check that bonobo-activation-server is running on your system.
