The latest version of Evolution is 2.31.x.There is a GnuPG performance bug affecting me that was fixed since version 2.30.x that I would like to get rid of.How can I safely update to 2.31.x or 2.30.x taking care of the appropriate dependencies?Via Software.openSUSE.org I can locate newer rpms in various repositories but they all seem to be GNOME (I am using KDE).

I have been told to update alsa, but last time i did that it broke my sound.
How do i update it safely?
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 have been using Fedora 14, which has Evolution 2.32.1 but have recently also installed openSUSE 11.3, which has Evolution 2.30.1.2. I would like to make openSUSE my primary distribution, and so I would like to restore my Evolution settings from Fedora, but Evolution complains that the backup file is invalid. I have tried copying the folders in the backup to their appropriate locations in openSUSE with no luck. I have also tried manually copying with instructions for older versions of openSUSE, but with no luck.
An obvious guess at what might be the problem seems to be that I am trying to restore settings from a newer version to an older version? An obvious thing to try would be to upgrade to Evolution 2.32, but Evolution has a long list of dependencies so before jumping into that fun I thought I would ask if anyone else has had similar problems and found a straight-forward solution. I still have access to my emails in Fedora so this is not hugely pressing, and if upgrading to 11.4 will do the trick then I can just wait for that.
Is there a good/simple way to do this?OK - Under certain other OSs, the 'safely remove' option on usb devices will...1/ On usb pen drive with a power/activity led, switch it off (trivial nicety, but reassuring).2/ On usb HDDs, spin down the disk - seems more important.I don't know if it really is but 'pulling the plug' on a spinning HD makes me nervous!I have tried a number of linux distros recently and only ubuntu 10.04 with gnome seems to do the same. Most others (including openSUSE 11.2, kde 4.3.5 - which I have) only seem to unmount
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn attempting to install Opensuse 11.X, I have repeatedly encountered a warning I am not sure how to get past safely. The systems I wish to dual-boot Opensuse with will either be primarily Vista, Win 7, or XP, all of which will hopefully also have a third boot option for Windows Server 2008. If there are suggestions of which order to install these operating systems, but I understand if no one wants to waste this thread simply discussing that. When installing Opensuse over a Vista installation, it comes to a point where it finds the previously used partition, which is one a single HD laptop. It will warn, no matter which direction I try to go, that I will lose the entire partition.
This is the step I wish assistance with, as it seems to happen with any option chosen. Otherwise, I am aware that another partition could be created on this single drive, from within Vista, and that one could be chosen during Opensuse installation. I have understanding of the MBR. If someone was to make a reply and mentioned what they know would occur to the MBR, if I chose to install Opensuse to a separate empty partition than the one Windows is using, it would be helpful. A step by step explanation of which option to choose, when all options I've tried keep telling me that the partition will be lost, If someone knows a separate page that lists steps to take at that point of the Opensuse installation, designed to help those that are warned that the partition will be lost, it would be good to mention for novice users like me.
I was hoping that downloading and burning the installation disc would be half the battle for an experienced OS user of 15 years, but it wasn't. I am getting in to Opensuse because it is the alternate OS of choice for IBM, my future dream employer, as I get closer to a Computer Science degree and begin to learn programming. All systems that will use Opensuse will be experimental, and never mission critical, in my education.
evolution crashing - memory error - openSUSE 11.3 / Evolution 2.30.1.2

Ages ago I installed Linux on a "spare" 40GB disk and I don't remember how, but that disk is where I still boot the computer from, in Bios it's listed as a primary master and HD0.
Over the time my installs moved to the "main" disk where it is now Suse 11.3 alongside Windows.
I want to get rid of that original "spare" disk altogether, physically take it out, but don't know how to move the bootloader to the "main" one.
I'm confused by all the options offered in Yast Boot Loader Location menu.
Can I just tell it to put itself into a custom boot partition and point it to dev/sdb, the current designation of the "main" disk?
Would I need to edit Grub as well? I figure the current "sdb" would be called "sda" after I take the old disk out. Would it be safe to simply rename /sdb entries, things like /sdb4 to /sda4 and so on?
Additional question - I used to play with Win7 demo, deleted that now, but its loader still pops up when I boot into Windows with their "earlier version of operating system" menu. Their offered solution is to run "mbrfix" from a WinXp recovery CD.
My question - what would that mbrfix do to the Linux bootloader and how can I get it to point back to to Grub afterwards?
Hoping for some verification before I proceed.An alt kernel was installed side by side with the current mainstream kernel during an experimental NIC driver install. Unfortunately, since the experiment failed I would now like to remove all traces of the alt kernel since it was given a version ahead of the current main version and I would like to avoid all possibilities of contention should a future kernel upgrade use the experimental alt kernel's version number.

I always install the Ubuntu Updates that automatically pop up every few days.
Today I installed the update and it wiped out my entire Evolution database.
The Evolution e-mails and e-mail history are still there, but not a single Contact.
Is there any way to 'uninstall' today's update or go back to a time before it was implemented?
Is anyone else having this problem? I do have a database backup, but its about a month old. So I don't want to import it unless there is no way to get the current version back.
After recent update (yesterday) Evolution became almost unusable: if I am going to create a new e-mail or just select a person from Contacts or reply to someone it simply crashes. The update also didn't go very smooth - 15 updates were not applied because of a broken dependency - evolution-exchange, which depended on evolution prior to 2.30.0 but 2.30.1.2-2 was to be installed. Is there a way to make Evolution to work or upgrade solving dependencies?

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.

I really like the evolution program and it seems to install just fine on the gnome version of openSuse 11.2 but if I install on KDE it's missing some icon files and I have to copy them from /usr/share/icons/gnome/NNxNN/actions/[filename].png to /usr/share/icons/oxygen/NNxNN/actions/[filename].png. The icon that staands out missing as soon as it's installed is th eone for send/receive email. it's file name is mail-send-receive.png
What I have to do is:install evolution and observe that the icon image is busted because the icon file isn't where it's supposed to be.
hand copy the files from /gnome to /oxygen (this doesn't fix it)
uninstall evolution
reinstall evolution
now the busted icon for send/receive mail is all better.How do I get this info to the folks that maintain evolution so they can add the missing icons to the install?

Opensuse Gnome 11.1 on Lenovo S10e Netbook!
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

Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.

I am probably in the wrong post / tread/ whatever. But maybe someone can put me on the right track.
I try to configure evolution on my opensuse, for using my outlook account. I tryed a lot, and tryed to understand a lot, but all seems to be very diffucult.
What I completely miss on the internet / documentation / everywhere is what to enter where. I can open in my outlook, the account settings. But names there, are not the same names in evolution.
And what to use, mapi, imapi mapi+ whatever. I have no clue about that.
What I found today, is something about proxy. since I was unable to ping a server host with a very strange name. NLCLUEXA11.connect1.local But I also have somewhere a exchange proxy.
Whith a https://www..... url ?? and an NTLM Authentication, no idea about that.
There is also an web interface, webclient, but that also seems to go wrong.
Is there any simple explanation, or just a simple tutorial, which show the outlook settings, and where to put them in the evolution settings ??
unread email in evolution is not showing in bold.I did a fresh install of 11.3 then installed the Nvidia drivers and I am no longer getting unread email highlighted in bold in evolution.
