Hello all. I am having a huge problem with my evolution email program. It was working fine, then I did a search, and when I clicked on one of the search results, evolution crashed. Now whenever I restart it, it immediately crashes. I started evolution from the CLI, and this is the output:
I have found this similiar info on the site here, but no solution to it. I tried the M$ solution of a reboot, but that had no effect. Is there a file that I can edit or remove to get this to work?
I also checked dmesg after the reboot and trying to start evolution, and it has no messages in it, it is all the messages during the boot process.
And try to start Evolution to see if that works. You could move the entire evolution folder with:
Code:
mv ~/.evolution/ ~/.evolution_old
That would basically give you a new fresh Evolution, losing all your settings and accounts (backup is on .evolution_old, however). It seems like you came across a bug, that's why it's crashing, unfortunately.
Thanks for the reply. I had already tried what you suggested, simply moving the Outbox.ibex.index to Outbox.ibex.index~, but that didn't work. Unfortunately, the only result of the move was that a new foler appeared with the name of the moved Outbox.ibex.index~, then crashes. I hope I don't have to rebuild from a blank state, I have like 25 accounts, and even though I have/know the data, it takes hours to get everything running.
Does anyone know where that root is specified at? If I move it to the different root of ~/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox.ibex.index , maybe it won't crash?
I'll try using grep and see if I can hunt down that string in a conf file and change it.
I'm having a similar problem with Evolution. Everytime I start the client, I get near identical error output. I've reinstalled Evolution using Synaptic and the problem still exists.
