Hi, other gnome apps do work via X11 forwarding (e.g., gedit).
When starting evolution remotely via X11 forwarding I obtain the following messages (note, some years ago, I used evolution remotely without any problems): %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% hgb@HGB-PC2:~$ evolution Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0". Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0". Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0". Xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:10.0". libEGL warning: DRI3: failed to query the version libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate (evolution:26725): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'evolution' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'. (Details: serial 189 error_code 1 request_code 154 (unknown) minor_code 1) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% If this problem cannot be solved easily, I would be even satisfied, if evolution would fetch my emails without GUI (however, this must be done remotely on the remote Linux machine). To this end, I tried on the remote machine: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% hgb@HGB-PC2:~$ xvfb-run evolution (evolution:26703): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strsplit: assertion 'string != NULL' failed Segmentation fault (core dumped) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Any help would be appreciated.
