http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/previous.shtml I have read the reviews and the way it works is junk I can not even find the mail folders anywhere. How do I upgrade to an earlier and IMO better version of Evolution which works as I want? You have a working evolution on 12.1? Mine stopped working a month or so ago. I have been using Thunderbird while waiting for evolution to revive. I would like evolution again.
I use Evolution all day every day on 12.1 and it is solid and fast. Have been using it for a decade.
Do you have any GNOME update repositories enabled?
Nope. awilliam@linux-nysu:~> zypper lr # | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh --+--------------------+----------------------------+---------+-------- 1 | erlang | erlang | Yes | No 2 | packman-essentials | packman-essentials | Yes | Yes 3 | packman-multimedia | packman-multimedia | Yes | Yes 4 | repo-debug | openSUSE-12.1-Debug | No | Yes 5 | repo-debug-update | openSUSE-12.1-Update-Debug | No | Yes 6 | repo-non-oss | openSUSE-12.1-Non-Oss | Yes | Yes 7 | repo-oss | openSUSE-12.1-Oss | Yes | Yes 8 | repo-source | openSUSE-12.1-Source | No | Yes 9 | repo-update | openSUSE-12.1-Update | Yes | Yes
The machine in question is one I use just for seeing what happens when I use the current release of things in OBS. Not factory. But stable repos that can contain things that are newer than in the distro. I suspect some update there caused a problem. The odd thing is that when I start evolution from the command line I do not get a complaint. Just a shiny new prompt.
That is normal if evolution is already running. Perhaps it is already running? ps -C evolution
