Hi,

I have tried ll of the advice that i can find including the advice from SuSE regarding reseting my evolution setup to its unconfigured state. None of the advice seems to work on this new SuSE 9.3 release version of evolution. Are there any die hard evolution pros out there that can assist please?

For a complete reset, wouldn't you just delete ~/.evolution ? You'd probably lose your data, though, so you want to find those and back them up elsewhere before you do this, then re-import them later.

Yep, tried that including the .gconf/apps/evolution/ files as well and it still hasn't reset it. Tried evolution --force-shutdown and then deleting the files etc. Its stumped me completely.

Hi,

I found a mail at the Ximian that explained how to make forced migration. This worked at least for me:

From guenther guenther@rudersport.de:
"Q: "How can I force migration of 1.4.x data?"

FWIW: This option has been removed from the stable release, cause it was
meant for excessive beta testing only. Anyway, there is a way to force
migration.

Note: You will do anything mentioned below ON YOUR OWN RISK. Create a
backup in case anything goes wrong -- backup your old ~/evolution
directory as well as the new 1.5/2.0 ~/.evolution directory.

Make sure the old 1.4 directory still exists and holds all the *latest*
data.


Now here is how to manually force migration again:

* Shutdown any running evolution processes.

$ evolution-2.0 --force-shutdown

* Edit the GConf keys /apps/evolution/version and last_version to read
"1.4.0". You can use gconf-editor or the command line interface:

$ gconftool-2 --set /apps/evolution/version --type string "1.4.0"
$ gconftool-2 --set /apps/evolution/last_version --type string "1.4.0"

* Remove (do you have a backup?) or rename (as shown) the new hidden
~/.evolution directory:

$ mv ~/.evolution ~/old-evolution-2.0.0

* Then run Evolution 2.0.0 and it should migrate your 1.4.x data again.
Lean back and have a good cup of coffee, beer, whatever... :-)

Reset both GConf keys to "2.0.0", if not already done. AFAIK
last_version will not be reset.

I hope this helps,
