Hi, are you sure you've 3.28.3 of Evolution? And more importantly also 3.28.3 of evolution-data-server, please? It's not enough to just have it installed, especially in case of evolution-data-server, you need to re-login or reboot the machine, thus the updated bits are run, instead of the old bits, which had been started before the update. The "code enter issue" had been fixed for 3.28.3 version within: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795997 Unless it regressed again.

[Evolution] Evolution & Gmail not working correctly
I've been a long time user of Evolution. no real problems until I upgraded Ubuntu from 16.04 to 18.04.1 Evolution seems to have updated to 3.28.1-2 I found older/dated, on-line references to my problem, but zero solutions. seems Evolution doesn't work well with 0Auth2 authentication? I can change to a password and that works, for a while, then Evolution keeps wanting to revert back to 0Auth2 and the cycle keeps repeating. everything worked okay before the update. what should I be doing? because all the old solutions I've seen don't apply as I've already got things set up correctly (based upon those suggestions) ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Try searching the archives. Basically, you need to update Evolution (and EDS) to at least 3.28.3.

Re: [Evolution] Evolution & Gmail not working correctly
Thanks for the reply Pete. my bad, I used the List search engine and all I got was results dated 2016 or earlier :-/ I found a few recent threads, going month to month in the archive, and there is nothing new there, that I haven't already tried. updating to 3.30 from what I observed trying to figure out how, is more complicated than it really should be and too much of a risk vs time at the moment; one of linux's biggest problems, IMHO. It used to be real bad updating things, but I will admit it has gotten tremendously better; but it seems there are a few exceptions. cheers On Fri, 2018-09-07 at 16:19 +0100, Pete Biggs wrote: > > > > Evolution seems to have updated to 3.28.1-2 > > > > I found older/dated, on-line references to my problem, but zero > > solutions. > > > > seems Evolution doesn't work well with 0Auth2 authentication? > > > > I can change to a password and that works, for a while, > > then Evolution keeps wanting to revert back to 0Auth2 and the cycle > > keeps repeating. > > > > everything worked okay before the update. > > > > what should I be doing? because all the old solutions I've seen > > don't > > apply as I've already got things set up correctly (based upon those > > suggestions) > > There's been lots about this on the mailing list in the last few > months.

Configuring the accounts using Gnome online Accounts usometimes gets around the issue.

LTS or Enterprise versions tend not to majorly update things for stability. But whereas most such distros are happy to update minor versions because they are usually bug fixes, Ubuntu, for some reason, seems to stick to the same minor version - i.e. 3.28.1, whereas it should be on 3.28.5. I'm afraid your best bet is to ask on the Ubuntu forums for advise on how to get to at least 3.28.3 - there may be some repository (or whatever they call them!) or some simple way of compiling things your self.

The problem is that Ubuntu doesn't consider Evolution to be part of the "main" repository, because it's not the standard mail client that Ubuntu supplies (I believe their standard mail client is Thunderbird). Personally I think this is a mistake, although at one point it may have made sense since Thunderbird, while less capable than Evolution, had (probably for the same reason) less issues. I'm not convinced that's decision is still correct, especially given Ubuntu's recent move to be closer to Gnome. Maybe it can be revisited between now and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. In any event, currently Ubuntu has Evolution in the "universe" repository and the rules for software updating in "universe", even on LTS releases, are much different than "main": https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu All that being said, there is currently an upgrade to Evolution 3.28.5 in the Ubuntu 18.04 "proposed" repo. Unfortunately I know of no way to understand why the package is still in "proposed" since it was pushed there on Aug 13... I had thought proposed packages move into the mainline faster than that. Maybe some issue was identified. Jeremy has been known to drop in here; maybe he has some insight. https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/pending-sru.html (search for evolution) Of course anyone can add the "proposed" repository to their system and install proposed updates, if they want to. Be aware that these are not finally approved so there may be issues. You might want to consider only adding proposed for "universe" (I don't know how well that will work).
