What exactly is being unlocked here? Evo doesn't use Kwallet for anything. Do you mean the system is asking for authorization to mount the drive? That has nothing to do with Evo either. You may want to check the mount options in /etc/fstab (e.g. allow user processes to mount the drive without requiring root.) > I want to scrap the old machine (to reduce the number of computers > under my desk) but want to keep the disk, so it seems easiest to > simply > add the disk to my server (Fedora server, also 35) and mount the > relevant directories from there. > > I can do that successfully but on starting Evolution, it fails to > appear.

Can you access the disk from (say) the command line? poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
