[opensuse] Suse 10.2 +KDE +Evolution
I have a problem with evolution where everytine it goes out to check email or send email, it asks for the the password eventhough I have the remember password box checked. I sent a but report to Ximian and got the following back. "You can work around it this way: test@Merlin:~> gnome-keyring-daemon GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET=/tmp/keyring-qdYsbQ/socket GNOME_KEYRING_PID=16304 test@Merlin:~> export GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET=/tmp/keyring-qdYsbQ/socket test@Merlin:~> export GNOME_KEYRING_PID=16304 Substitute your socket and pid info in the above commands Then start evo from the command line and away you go" Then this: so this sounds like a future FAQ for folks using evo under KDE then. :-/ feel free to close as NOTABUG, or to add a workaround for KDE people in SuSE (wasn't the whole game about making the use of computers easier? ;-) , or to reassign to gnome-keyring-manager or whatever... :-) Problem is, the workaround only workas as long as you don't reboot. I turn off my computer every work day to save electricity, so this workaround is only a short term solution. Is Novell going to fix this or does anyone else have a solution so you don't have to do this work around evertime you start your computer? If there is no permanent fix, guess I will have to migrate to KMail. Art -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

There is a permanent way around this. There is a package available called, pam_keyring. It is available at: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/i586/pam_key... The description of the package says: pam_keyring is a pam module that launches the gnome-keyring-daemon then tries to unlock a keyring using your login password. One other change I had to make... I had to change my displaymanager from kdm to gdm (I use kde). Now, when I login using gdm, the gnome-keyring-daemon is automatically started up and the environment is setup properly. I can now start evolution simply by clicking on it. The keyring is already unlocked simply by logging in. It works great. Rick -- Rick's Law: What cannot be imagined will be accomplished by a fool.

Do not have gdm as an option for the display manager. Art -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I've been pushing for better interop and the "not-starting-gnome-keyring-thingy-outside-gnome" issue was supposed to be fixed, but I have just checked with 10.2 and I see that it isn't :@.

Tried your suggestion. Put a file in my /home/afore/bin directory both with and without the " marks, and changed the KDE menu. I get nothing. If I edit the shortcut on my kde panel, I then get KDEInit could not launch '/home/afore/bin/my-evolution'. Tried a number of variations, but nothing successful.

The chmod fixed the execution, but it still always asks for password, even after entering it, then later on when it goes to get email again. The " marks make it take about 10 times longer for evolution to open though. Tried removing the eval, still same thing.

I should have mentioned these myself - also gnome-keyring-daemon does not output export - dbus-start does, which I actually uses, so I forgot to add this. The script should be " #!/bin/bash `eval gnome-keyring-daemon` export GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET export GNOME_KEYRING_PID "
I wonder why the original poster used 'eval' to run the command. Very odd. Perhaps you also need to have the very first line in the script be:
Because 'eval' evaluates the output of the command as if it was part of the script. Thus the GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET, GNOME_KEYRING_PID assignments are evaluated, the variables are set, exported to the environment, and evolution can find the keyring daemon. You might of course end up with multiple daemons running if you start and stop evolution though. The solution agreed when I discussed this with the Ximian guys was to make gnome-keyring-daemon a dbus service instead of using its own socket and protocol so that an existing instance can be found, but I guess this is still a WIP. Another workaround is to start the daemon and export its variables to the global environment at the start of every x session; start the daemon as shown in $HOME/.xinitrc - however that's not something we want or need to activate by default. Maybe Evolution could do this for you on first run if it detects the daemon isn't running. BTW, kontact starts and stops kded for its keyring/wallet needs automatically.

If Novell can't get interoperation between Gnome and KDE with Evolution right, how are they ever going to get any interoperation with Microsoft right? Will give it a couple of more weeks for a permanent solution, then if one is not forthcoming, will move to kmail.

Since we are the topic of evolution... If there is no fix forthcoming is there an easy way to move the mail from evolution to Kmail? I will need to do this as well if a fix is not available. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have a problem with evolution where everytine it goes out to check email or send email, it asks for the the password eventhough I have the remember password box checked. I sent a but report to Ximian and got the following back.
so this sounds like a future FAQ for folks using evo under KDE then. :-/ feel free to close as NOTABUG, or to add a workaround for KDE people in SuSE (wasn't the whole game about making the use of computers easier? ;-) , or to reassign to gnome-keyring-manager or whatever... :-)
What was the bug report #? I couldn't find it in b.n.c under your email address.
I've been pushing for better interop and the "not-starting-gnome-keyring-thingy-outside-gnome" issue was supposed to be fixed, but I have just checked with 10.2 and I see that it isn't :@. But we have a window of time now where we could do something about it.
For a permanent workaround, put this in a file $HOME/bin/my-evolution: " eval `gnome-keyring-daemon` evolution "
Then edit the KDE menu entry for evolution so that it launches $HOME/bin/my-evolution instead of evolution.

Well, another workaround would be to recompile evolution-data-server with "--enable-gnome-keyring=no". -- Gruß Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks for sharing this info. I was able to configure evolution-dat-server OK, but configuring evolution terminates with: -- checking for CAMEL... configure: error: Package requirements (camel-provider-1.2) were not met: No package 'camel-provider-1.2' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables CAMEL_CFLAGS and CAMEL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. I have an unmodified test install of 10.2 x86_64. Do you have any thoughts on why we get different results?

AFAIK a re-compilation of evolution itself is not necessary anyway. After I looked at the specfile for evolution-data-server I decided to forget about downloading & installing an upstream version. Instead I simply changed the specfile (the one option about the keyrings) and rebuilt the rpm with the new specfile. -- Gruß & Happy Holidays Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

this is a very good idea! but where did you get the spec-file? is it part of the source-rpm? -- einen schönen Tag noch DI Rainer Klier Abteilung IT - Entwicklung ECOLOG Logistiksysteme GmbH Bauernstraße 11, A-4600 Wels Tel. ++43/7242/66200 Fax ++43/7242/66200-200 mailto:kra@ecolog.at http://www.ecolog.at -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

yep. it is in the source rpm. What I do usually when I want to change a detail about an rpm is: - download source rpm - execute rpmbuild --rebuild <name-of-source-rpm> in the download-folder - install all the dependencies (the rpmbuild --rebuild shows an error message if dependencies are missing) - cd into /usr/src/packages/SPECS - edit the *.spec file with a simple texteditor - execute rpmbuild -ba <name-of-the-specfile> - hope that everything builds without an error message ;) - install the new rpms from /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i586. That is - very simplified - how every rpm is built. If you want to know more about rpms, specfiles and rpmbuild, have a look at the manpages and at http://www.rpm.org/RPM-HOWTO/ -- Gruß & Happy Holidays Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

this sounds like a very interesting alternative for me. this is a really very good idea to make a "private" self-compiled "special" version of a software which is shipped from distributor. -- einen schönen Tag noch DI Rainer Klier Abteilung IT - Entwicklung ECOLOG Logistiksysteme GmbH Bauernstraße 11, A-4600 Wels Tel. ++43/7242/66200 Fax ++43/7242/66200-200 mailto:kra@ecolog.at http://www.ecolog.at -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
