I am a Fedora 11 user and, being curious of it, I installed openSUSE 11.2 Milestone 8 after saving my previous /home (Fedora 11) in a FAT32 partition. I deleted Fedora, I installed openSUSE, and I copied the .evolution folder from FAT32 to openSUSE home. Inbox and Sent mail were correctly recognized, but not the account data neither the contact list.

HOWTO: Sync Contacts between BlackBerry and Evolution on Fedora 10
1. Overview
Open source tools are available to sync a BlackBerry with Evolution but it appears these tools are not supported by Fedora 10. The main thing that seems to be missing is the Barry plugin for OpenSync. Maybe the reason that this package has not been created is that Barry requires OpenSync version 0.22, whereas F10 ships OpenSync version 0.36. This HOWTO explains how to build all of the required components from source code. If the required package becomes available, this HOWTO would then be redundant.
This entire build and installation is performed in the home directory of a non-root user to ensure that no system files are broken. Some of the commands in this HOWTO must be run as root, when this is the case it is stated explicitly and otherwise the commands in this document should be run under a non-root account. The username for the examples below is erik.
2. Be a Developer
When you install F10 you are prompted to specify the uses to which your computer will be put. Hopefully you selected software development, if not your machine will probably be missing many of the utilities required for this HOWTO.
3. Initialize Evolution
Open Evolution and click on all of the buttons at the left to ensure that the necessary databases are created.
4. Prepare The Environment

Since I move from opensuse 11.3 to 11.4 Evolution adressbooks do not workI appreciate any tips in howto fix addressbooks or how to migrate address books. Evolution 2.30.1.2 (OS 11.3) has the data in ~./evolution while Evolution 2.32.1 (OS 11.4) has the data in ~/local/share/evolution.These are observations from what I have tried.1. The backup from Evo 2.3O.1.2 does not work under restore in 2.32.12. If copy ~/.evolution and ~/.gconfig/apps/evolution form 2.30.1.2 to 2.32.1 (that was the way to migrate under 2.30 and before).
2.1 the setup is transfer and works2.2 the mail is transfer and works (including the folders)2.3 the contact folders are corrupted: some can not be open, some work, some can not be deleted. I change permission without any success. 3. I delete ~/evolution (which has no effect in the new evolution), ~/.gconf/apps/evolution and ~./local/share/evolution. Then I reboot. (this is key) After I start evolution everything is new. I can make contact folders and they seems to work fine. I can add and delete contacts etc. Now If I import vcards created from evolution 2.30.1.2as way to preserve all the contacts)and try to restore the folders something weird happens: the contacts transfer to the folder specified but they are also transfer to the other folders. If I delete the contacts in one folder all the duplicates are also gone. If I tried to delete the folders I can not do it
Where is the file with Evolution contacts? I want to copy this file from one computer to other.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been syncing files to ubuntu one without any problems for some time. I can't get my evolution contacts to sync. When I try to copy my addressbook to ubuntu one I get message "error adding contact". I can't get rid of this message - only way is to force quit. I'm running Maverick, and I did a clean re-install to try to get rid of problem - didn't work. Currently when I open the ubuntu one addressbook, there are three blank entries which can't be deleted or edited.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to figure out how I can export my evolution contacts information into a Thunderbird application on my desktop (at work). I back up the files onto a flashdrive into the evolution-backup.tar file which Evolution uses as the default backup file. But Thunderbird doesn't recognize the file type.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have got my contacts in my 'Ubuntu One Address Book' in evolution.
It is my understanding that they should sync to my ubuntu one account on the web.
My files and notes are syncing perfectly but the contacts are not.
I have ensured that the contacts box is ticked on the Ubuntu One menu thingy.
I'm running Evolution 2.28.3 on the latest Lucid. I tried importing an Outlook pst file. Evolution obviously leads one to believe it CAN do this, otherwise why would it allow one to choose a pst file, then recognize it as an Outlook file, and give one the option of choosing which portions to import (i.e. mail, contacts, calendar, etc)?
So the first time I chose mail, contacts, calendar, and tasks. It seems to have imported mail and calendar correctly, but NOTHING happened in tasks and contacts (contacts being very important). So I tried again, this time ONLY choosing to import contacts. It went through the whole pst file again. NO contacts still. While it seems not to have duplicated email messages the second go around (and it shouldn't have), it DID duplicate all calendar items (even though I ONLY checked "contacts"). UGH!
It's one thing for it not to have a capability, but to make a person believe it CAN import all those things, then screw it all up, ... well, that's highly irritating.
I have installed the Maveric 10.10 version on an HP Pavilion dv7-1262us laptop and am using Evolution 2.30.3 for email. When I click on the contacts button in Evolution, and then click on a particular contact (in the personal contact list), I can't seem to modify the name or email; I can click in the boxes and cursor about, but no editing; the entire panel seems to be greyed out. I have searched a bit, but have not seen this particular problem addressed.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Evolution 2.28.3. I have Evolution configured to use my gmail contacts. When composing a message, entering addresses does not automatically resolve in any way. In order to use an address from my contacts, I need to click on the To: button and select contacts from the list. The list itself is fine - all my contacts are present. Is there any way to have Evolution automatically resolve email addresses as I type?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just love the synch of Evolution contacts to Ubuntu One via Couch DB. However: When I copy contacts from Evolution Personal contacts to Couch DB, I lose all of the first names of my contacts. Example: [Full Name]Peter Smith becomes [Full Name] Smith.
View 1 Replies View RelatedLooks like many people had issues in deleting multiple contacts from evolution-couchdb-ubuntuone address book. I had an issue (on more than one pc, and different ubuntu one accounts) and can't recognize if there are related posts. Something is messed up, but why? The reason why I'm opening a new thread is to ask: is gnome-keyring manager expected to have two entries for couchdb in the default behavior?
I want to erase my address book. After Ctrl+A > Ctrl+D > Yes and no effect, I can't delete single nor multiple contacts. Evolution states:
"Eliminazione del contatto non riuscita. Altro errore"
In Italian that means: Cannot delete the contact. Other error. (Maybe: undefined eror, unexpected error in en localization).
I'm using kupfer 2.06, which is a tremendous little piece of software. The hitch is that when I use the evolution plugin to compose a new message, I'm only provided one email address per contact. I'm wondering if there's a way to designate a default or primary email address for each contact or some other way to influence this behavior. Not sure if the key to the issue lies with kupfer, its evolution plugin, or evolution.

1. In Xp open MS-Access create blank database.
2. From File->Get External Data->Import, Select file type as exchange()
3. Import contacts to new table, u can delete unwanted columns from this table. Now export this table to a csv file.
4. Following is simple code which takes contacts.csv as input and convert these contacts to vcf file which can be imported to evolution.
5. The contact.csv should be of format
FirstName,LastName,emailID
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>
[code]....
6. uuidgen should be present on your linux box. you can have other validations and field too as per your need. but these three fields worked best for m
7. ./a.out contact.csv output.vcf Now in evolution go to Contacts->File Import->Import single file, select output.vcf and File type as vcf.
I've been running the Evolution mail system under Fedora-15/KDE for about a month now, and it has some very serious problems. I just noticed that it is available for SUSE, and figured that since KDE is the principal desktop supported by KDE the SUSE version may be fixed. Before I go through the very tedious process of getting the SUSE version to compile on Fedora, I'd like to know whether anyone has seen these problems with the SUSE version of Evolution:It ignores font control from the KDE Settings->Applications Appearance window, both KDE font control and GTK+ font control, also its own internal font control window.
It has trouble sending messages to an SMTP server, sometimes taking a l-o-n-g time, sometimes timing out. This can be temporarily cured by restarting it It crashes when a filter attempts to refile an outgoing message. It often asks if I want to recover messages that have never been lost. It often locks up receiving mail from a remote POP3 server. I can live with these, except for items 1 and 2, since I have workarounds. If you are fairly sure that you have not seen these problems with the SUSE version of Evolution
I had configured the evolution to send/recive email. After it had been configured, it could receive emails. Suddendly it can't fetch email anymore. In the inbox of evolution, there were about 200 emails. There are maybe 5K emails in the server, I guessed. I'm not sure whether it's the problem that there's one email in the server too big, so the evolution can not fetch it. The error of evolution is: error while fetching email. Evolution version: Evolution 2.28.0.

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy hard disk is failing, and I want to rescue the files from it before it is un-bootable. I was planning to do this by booting a live cd, making a .tar file of /, and then burning it to a cd or dvd. The disk is still bootable, but I'm getting warning messages that 73 sectors are bad. I have another hard disk ready to plug in, I just need to rescue the files, and then install Fedora 11 64-bit on the new drive, at which point I will overwrite / with the / from the .tar file.
Basically I was just wondering how to mount a hard disk to recover files from a rescue cd. I tried to make a .tar file of / already, but that failed because the system was active and changing the various system files at the same time that tar was trying to package them.
Actually Some one has deleted my vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.el5 and its backup vmlinuz5 from /boot dir i want to restore those files. i tried by "linux rescue" mode but unable to mount my dvd from RHEL5 dvd drive there is no file exist as /dev/cdrom .

2 ) How to find in which partition it is installed eg do i have type (hd0,0) or (hd0,xx), i have on hard disk so the H.D.D number will be hd0 but what about the partition . how to find it.

Then I updated it and I installed wireless drivers kmod-wl equivalent to my kernel version that is 2.6.35.6-45. I've a pavilion dv6 with a broadcom ach. for networking. So the next step was installing kmod-nvidia for my nvidia geforce but after rebooting my never allow me to log in! I can se the tipical blue-white progress bar loading nvidia drivers but not else!
my screen freeze itself after the progress bar became white. I would resolve by rescue mode but I've installed fc14 64 b using a usb-pen drive and I find no way to do this from live version.
I made a big mistake. While logged in as root i deleted the /bin directory by mistake. I cannot boot up now...I tried to re-install with the upgrade option...Did it partly but it does not go to the login. I tried a rescue operation and have gone into /mnt/sysimage...However I do not know how to copy my data files over the network to another computer. If I could do that it would be great...I can then backup my file and reinstall.
However I do not know how to setup the network in rescue mode..
Agter going into the network option ...It gave 2 places where I could enter the values ipv4 .and ipv6...I tried entering the old IP address in the first oprtion ........./....Its prompting for some entry to be put after the /. I think its a 3 digit input. Not sure what has to be done.with namesserver and default gateway....I have a small dlink hub and normally (when the system was running) I just needed to go into network manager and enter the machine ipaddress, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and some value for the default gateway which was not really there....It worked, i could remote connect with another computer in my LAN. How do i enter the 255.255.255.0 in rescue mode?

Today I've tried upgrade from F14 to F15 using preupgrade,after reboot,gnome3 can response nothing,but kde and fvwm is ok. how can i do to rescue gnome?
T7200,4G,nvidia go 7400, 2.6.38.6-27.fc15.x86_64
Background for the problem:
A. I have partitioned my WinXP LTop into:
--- WinXP NTFS partition
--- a vfat partition (mounted onto /fat32)
--- Installed F10 on ext3 virtual partition
B. I do not want install grub-loader in the Master Boot Record (that would loose my WinXP boot-loader for ever)
C. I have installed grub boot loader in the First Boot Sector
D. Now I have to boot using Rescue Mode, do:
1. dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/fat32/linux.bin bs=512 count=1
2. mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /ntfs
3. cp /fat32/linux.bin /ntfs
4. modify /ntfs/c/boot.ini and introduce the statement 'c:linux.bin="Linux"'
Problem: Im not able to do step D.2 above.
Symptom:
** after booting linux using the Rescue Mode: sh-3.2# chroot /mnt/sysimage sh-3.2# uname -r 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i586 sh-3.2# mount -f ntfs /dev/sda1 /ntfs FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i586/modules.dep: No such file or directory ntfs-3g-mount: fuse device is missing, try 'modprobe fuse' as root
sh-3.2#
Observations:
* The rescue mode boots into i586 based kernel (I dont know what is the actual difference between i586 and i686 - will really appreciate if anyone can educate me about it). * The installation is only a i686 image and consequently there is *only* '/lib/modules/2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686' dir and *no* other dir. There is no dir as xxxx.fc10.i586.
