Help! I've lost my Evolution... It always worked perfectly fine but now attempt to start it produces a message: "cannot initialize the Ximian evolution shell:Configuration Database not found" (in fact I also get this message when I start my KDE session). And when I try to start Evolution from the Konsole I get this message: "evolution-shell-WARNING **: Cannot access Bonobo/ConfigDatabase on wombat: (IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0) I have two systems (neither of which is called "wombat"!) on my LAN. They both run SuSE 8.0, and the same version of Evolution: 1.0.8 from usr-bin-org. To keep them in sync, I usually just copy the entire evolution folder from my home directory on one system to the other. This is what I just did. It always worked - until today that is. Before copying anything I always make a backup of the current version, but it didn't help much - even after I restored the original, the problem persists with the same error messages. Yesterday I run apt-get upgrade which updated a lot of gnome stuff... although Evolution did work earlier today, after apt-get upgrade, but before I copied that folder Any ideas? --------------------------------------------------------------------- "The earth has enough for everyone's needs, but not for some people's greed." - Gandhi -- 2:20pm up 7 days, 4:44, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00--
If you run oaf-slay then try Evolution again does that sort it? Bonobo/ConfigDatabase is an OAF service, so you can't just copy files that relate to it into place while OAF is running. Oh, and wombat is also an OAF service, not the name of a machine.
