Evolution 1.4 - in need to help!
I'm pretty much at wits end here. I can't seem to get Evolution running smoothly. I had 1.2.4 from ULB. And that worked perfectly. I then downloaded the 1.4 beta, also from ULB. That had problems. Switching from folder to folder was really slow, the calendar would show the yearly view but I could not see day, week or monthly views. I then downloaded the ULB final version 1.4 the other day and that didn't seem to help either. All downloads were via Synaptic. I ran SuSEconfig after each install. I upgraded everything list on ULB's page for dependencies...except older versions of packages that had 2 versions listed (problem??). So tonight I uninstalled 1.4, restarted my system, downloaded and installed 1.4 from ULB via SuSE installer. Same problems. Also, my whole system is really slow and choppy. By no means do I blame this on ULB....let me make that clear. It seems to work perfect under Gnome, although the calendar still won't show the daily, weekly or monthly views. I just can't figure out why Evolution has always worked on my system and this version bonks. BTW I'm running 8.2. Does anyone have thoughts on this?

Glad to know ;)

The calendar thing, I'm guessing it shows the tasks for the views that don't work, yes? They are there, but the tasks view is too big, you just need to resize, using the dragbar on the left of where the view should be.

I think the key to your prob is where you say it works fine in GNOME. Because Evolution 1.4 is a GNOME2 app, it depends on a variety of GNOME2 services, which 1.2.x simply did not. I would suggest you enquire either on Ximian's Evolution users mailing list, or even put a bug in their Bugzilla (bugzilla.ximian.com) about this poor performance under KDE. An alternative you could try would be to make sure the following processes are running when you're in KDE (these are what I *think* it uses, and doesn't start itself...) /opt/gnome2/lib/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-server /opt/gnome2/lib/GConf/2/gconfd-2 gnome-smproxy gnome-settings-daemon -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.2).

Yes.

Tried that last night. All that happened was the yearly view was then viewed. I tried everything to get to a day view.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks! -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

Yeah, the thing is that because of the way in which Evolution handles the different calendar views, you need to do this for each of them... -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.2).
