I backed up evolution contacts on my 8.2 workstation. Then installed 9.0 and it's working great. Is there a way to import the contacts now though
Yes, you can just copy the ~/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db from the old install to the new one. --
Nope. I tried that, made sure permissions were correct, etc., but it still brings up a cached version of what was a few addresses I had in there previously. Kinda frustrating.

If Evolution is not fully shut down I have had similar problems. To shut down Evolution pre 1.4 use "killev" after exiting Evolution. For Evolution 1.4.x exit Evolution and then use "evolution --force-shutdown". Copying from the source location of the addressbook does not necessarily need to be fully shut down, but copying to the new location needs to have Evolution shut down. Copy ~/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db from your previous set-up and overwrite on the new. This always works in SuSE 8.2 with all versions of Evolution and has so far worked on the only attempt in SUSE 9. -- Ralph Sanford - If your government does not trust you, rsanford@telusplanet.net - should you trust your government?
