[opensuse] Evolution 2.12 "reply" locks up on opensuse 10.3
I notice that a lot of people have had good luck with Evolution on opensuse 10.3. I have not. I have been using evolution since the Ximian days and it seems to be increasingly unstable (for me). My biggest problem at the moment is that I can reply only once in each session. When replying the second time, Evo locks and grays out. It does not release if I wait it out. evolution –force-shutdown will usually allow me to restart evolution, but then I cannot reply even once. It treats a response to a calendar meeting request the same way. I can receive email and send new mails OK. Sometimes, it locks up the Gnome main menu bar, and once in a while, the whole Gnome Desktop. Usually the only way I can complete clear out the problem is to restart the X server. Sometimes I have to reboot. When I moved from 10.2 to 10.3, I backed up my /home directory, reformatted everything and installed from scratch, so I don't have any old libraries or corrupt binaries. I do have everything that was in my home directory, so I suppose I could have something corrupted in the those, but I would be surprised that it would have this behavior. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I wouldn't... Try creating a new user. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Do you mean a new linux user with a new home directory? Then reinstall Evolution and set everything up again? (That sounds a little like complaining, I am not, just trying to be clear.) J On Thu, 2007-11-29 at 16:17 +0100, Carlos E. R. wrote:

Do you mean a new linux user with a new home directory?
Yes :-)
Then reinstall Evolution and set everything up again?
No!

You don't need to reinstall anything. Supossedly, you have Evolution and everything else installed in the system, you just create a new user (yast) with a new home. Remember, linux is a multiuser operating system, programs are installed once, and are available for all users. Then you "simply" log in as that new user, configure Evolution (don't copy over files, just in case), and see if it locks up again. My guess is that it won't lock, but if it does, it is a reproductible bug you should report in bugzilla. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Sorry to take so long to respond to the list. I attempted Carlos' suggestion, but the config process for the new user was unstable and after several attempts -- the wizard closing at various places -- I came to the conclusion that my whole set up was unstable. I deleted my root directory, reformatted, and reinstalled from a fresh DVD. Same results on both the existing and new user. So I jumped distros and installed Gutsy Ubuntu. Nearly all Evo problems have disappeared. Thanks for trying. Maybe I will come back in a version or two. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
