[opensuse-kde] Server error in KAddressbook
When I open the KAddressbook browser I get the following error message: Server sent error -1: Received invalid XML markup: tag mismatch at 5:7 I'm unable to edit individual records, and the program freezes (unresponsive to buttons/menus being clicked). Can anyone suggest an easy fix? I don't really want to delete my address book data and start again :( -- Bob openSUSE 10.3, Kernel 2.6.22.13-0.3-default, KDE 3.5.8 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Go to the kabc directory. On my system it's in /home/rsmits/.kde/share/apps/kabc and you will find a number of files ending in .vcf. Delete or rename std.vcf, and then take the latest .vcf file and rename it to std.vcf. Now restart your kaddressbook program (or kontact) and you should find all your addresses back. -- Bob Smits bob@rsmits.ca A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

I have about 20 std files, one has the extension .vcf, the rest .vcf_nn, all with a modification date 26/12/2007. There is also one named std.vcfcMzGQa.new dated 17/12/2007 I deleted std.vcf and renamed std.vcf_1 to std.vcf but still got the same error. Should I delete all the .vcf_nn files as well, and rename std.vcfcMzGQa.new to std.vcf? -- Bob openSUSE 10.3, Kernel 2.6.22.13-0.3-default, KDE 3.5.8 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

I would move them in another directory and copy back one at the time as std.vcf . -- Regards, Rajko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

That would be my recommendation, too, Bob. -- Bob Smits bob@rsmits.ca A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.

Sorry, chaps, didn't work. Even starting KAddressBook with no std.vcf file generates the error message, a new, empty std.vcf file being created. The error message pops up 3 times on starting the app, as the data appears to be loading. Having dismissed the error dialogues, it recurs on closing the app. Many thanks for your interest -- Bob openSUSE 10.3, Kernel 2.6.22.13-0.3-default, KDE 3.5.8 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Does this tells anything? http://lists.kde.org/?l=kdepim-users&m=112679953216373&w=2 I'm not kdepim user, so I have too look around. -- Regards, Rajko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Yessss! For some reason I had egroupware ticked as an addressbook resource. Unticking it sorted out the error messages, and the ability to edit entries. Thank you, and Happy New Year. -- Bob openSUSE 10.3, Kernel 2.6.22.13-0.3-default, KDE 3.5.8 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
