SUSE 10.0, evolution and the address book
SUSE 10.0 installed a new version of evolution than the one I have been using. On startup, evolution imported things into it's new layout. But I do not have my address book. There is a file called ~/.evolution/addressbook/local/system/addressbook.db that seems to contain my addresses. But evolution seems not to be using this. Anyone else have problems when updating evolution as part of the SUSE 10 install? -- Roger

What release were you using prior to 10.0?

I see a file called ~/.gconf/apps/evolution/addressbook/%gconf.xml which has a reference to ~/.evolution/addressbook/local In ~/.evolution/addressbook/local there is a directory called 'system', that contains two files: addressbook.db and addressbook.db.summary. These seem to be the old address book. But they are not used. evolution claims that I do not have an address book. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB

Certainly no by adding it to the evolution address book :) It may be best to add the directories to /etc/ld.so.conf. After changing this file, run 'ldconfig'. Then everyone gets this. 'man ldconfig' may help. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB

Welcome to suse. First off please do not reply to another email and just ask a new question. Open a new email to ask a new question. Look into /root/.bashrc as one possibility. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

SUSE 9.0
Part of what happened was the change in evolution between 9.0 and 10.0. I had this happen when I went from 9.1 to 9.3. However the address book IIRC was intact. Did you opt to back up the info while opting to convert it to the new Evolution? Mike

That was not how it went. IIRC, Evolution automatically did a conversion, leaving the original in tact. You then get a question each time you start Evolution about deleting it, and I kept saying 'remind me later'. Then it stopped asking. I have a few other issues with Evolution. The 3-D effect for all buttons and column headers is gone. If I move a folder in Evolution, the old folder stays in the list, even though Evolution will complain it cannot access it if I select it. This is with an imap server. If I unsubscribe from the old folder, it is still shown. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB
