[Evolution] Issue with evolution online status
Dear evolution team, I am not sure if it is correct to send this e-mail to this mailing list or not, but my bias towards, that it is the right step is higher than the opposite one. I am facing an issue. Evolution, in the latest stable Ubuntu 16.04 version, displays that I am offline and I can not change my online status while being online. More information about my issue you can find here: http://askubuntu.com/q/767878/222371 Can you please take the required steps to solve the issue with the next update wave?

[Evolution] Advice on backup method
Good day all As a retired end user of Ubuntu Linux since 2005 I cannot get an easy/simple backup method to work. Would File Manager copy to a flsh drive and restore a damaged file safely? I have never needed to recover but it may happen. I have used the Backup front end for deja-dup each month-end many times but this time it would not switch to a new flash drive. The Software Centre also had many bad comments. So I installed Back in Time with its recommended default settings but it failed with many pages of errors about Evolution files. My Evolution folders have 65MB of history about banking, medical,tax and investment transactions that I must keep. The first few errors in the log below were followed by 10 pages of Evolution errors: Please advise me! [E] Error: rsync: symlink "/media/chas/BCA6-796F/backintime/Charles-PC/chas/1/new_snapshot/backup/home/chas/.config/opera/SingletonCookie" -> "11075476278167463458" failed: Operation not permitted (1) [E] Error: rsync: symlink "/media/chas/BCA6-796F/backintime/Charles-PC/chas/1/new_snapshot/backup/home/chas/.config/opera/SingletonLock" -> "Charles-PC-3224" failed: Operation not permitted (1) [E] Error: rsync: symlink "/media/chas/BCA6-796F/backintime/Charles-PC/chas/1/new_snapshot/backup/home/chas/.config/opera/SingletonSocket" -> "/tmp/.org.chromium.Chromium.y4TlhJ/SingletonSocket" failed: Operation not permitted (1) [E] Error: rsync: symlink "/media/chas/BCA6-796F/backintime/Charles-PC/chas/1/new_snapshot/backup/home/chas/.config/pulse/1b13e7b811a0e3d43e110330544bc30b-runtime" -> "/tmp/pulse-PKdhtXMmr18n" failed: Operation not permitted (1) [E] Error: rsync: mkstemp "/media/chas/BCA6-796F/backintime/Charles-PC/chas/1/new_snapshot/backup/home/chas/.config/evolution/addressbook/views/.current_view-file:___home_chas_.local_share_evolution_addressbook_local_1148126609.1137...@ubuntu.xml.nXKWlY" failed: Invalid argument (22) -- irons.char...@gmail.com Home +2711 782 8623 ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Please always give the output of Help->About. 2) If you want to report a bug with Evolution, use the Gnome Bugzilla system and post the bug report number here.

[Evolution] Making EDS find external EWS plugin
Hi Evolution Developers, Is there a way to make EDS (evolution-data-server) pick up an exteranl EWS plugin? That is, find the plugin *without* it being located inside evolution-data-server installation tree? I'm hitting this problem when packaging EWS with the Nix package manager[1]. In Nix, each package install tree is immutable (read-only) after installation. So E + EDS + EWS currently pose a circular dependency which I'm unable to solve, unless building *all three* packages at the same time, into one install tree. I was hoping there was an environment variable to locate external plugins. I found some environment variable documentation here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Debugging. But that is only about debugging, not about finding external plugins. I downloaded the source code of EDS and grepped for "getenv". I didn't find anything promising. Can you point me in the direction where EDS finds its plugins (in the source code)?

Hi, either add the "Subject - Trimmed" column to the view or sort by it, instead by the "Subject" column. You can find it in the context menu above the message headers, namely "Add a Column", "Remove This Column" and eventually "Customize current view..." can be found useful. If you save the view as one you use in the other folders, then the changes will be reused there as well.

Hi, nice, I second on both of the above (and what Patrick said) in general. As the evolution relies on the GNetworkMonitor, then you can try things even from here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1302658#c4 which contains a little test program which uses only it, all out of the evolution itself.

Re: [Evolution] Evolution Problem CalDav / LinuxMint Debian / HORDE
If I create a new calendar entry in Evolution and click to save it --> It lasts for at least a minute to save and close. But the calendar entry is made and could be seen in my Horde calendar with the Horde frontend and other calendar apps like lightning.

The modules directory is "chosen" during the ./configure stage of the evolution-data-server, it is advertised in the .pc file afterwards, in the moduledir variable (`pkg-config libebackend-1.2 --variable moduledir`). As the evolution- data-server builds its own modules too, then the change of the module directory during the runtime would just avoid load of those "built-in" modules, which is not what you want. Note that the evolution has its own "moduledir" too, advertised at evolution-shell-3.0.pc file, together with the "errordir", where both are used by the evolution-ews and eventually evolution-mapi and/or any other 3rd-party module for the evolution (evolution-rss and few/many other). The mail part also uses the camel_providerdir (`pkg-config camel-1.2 --variable camel_providerdir`). Search the sources for the call of an e_dbus_server_load_modules function. It uses EDBusServerClass::module_directory as the place from where to load the modules (search also for "->module_directory ="). That's only for the evolution-source-registry, eovlution-addressbook- factory and evolution-calendar-factory processes. The Camel (Mail) directories and the configuration bits (for the evolution itself) are elsewhere. You might want to patch the evolution-data-server to use some other paths too (not replace it with the other), which is not generally known in time of the evolution-data-server build. That means any such change won't be accepted upstream (I'm only telling my personal opinion here). By the way, more suitable place to ask developer-related questions is evolution-hackers, rather than evolution-list.
