Sadly I am unable to login to a particular user via the GUI, but that is another thread [URL].
I know that you can create a single backup file of all your emails and settings when you have access to the GUI in Evolution. Since I am unable to login to gnome (or KDE) but I am able to login to the command line by su to the user I would like to create a that evolution backup file. I will be reinstalling Ubuntu.
I need to export Evolution from a hobbled system, whose gnome interface cannot run. Is there a way to do this from the command line?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a couple of backup scri ts. I use a rather cumbersome method to backup evolution. I finally realized I can backup evolution easily from its File Menu. Can I do this directly from the command line, so that I can use it in a script?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 2 'how-to's' with rsync neither are working. I need to backup nightly some items and using a command line, I am prompted with a password, enter and it works. I now tried these 2 items in the shell script, both of them still when run prompt for a password. I have tried;
#!/bin/bash
export RSYNC_PASSWORD=passwordhere
- and -
also created a blank file called pw (to test) and then tried
#!/bin/bash
rsync --password-file=/pw xxxx
Both of those options when run still prompt for a password. These severs are running old RH9 servers.
I have an issue with evolution I use it on two computers. A Eee-Pc 1000h with '11.04' during the week (agenda / mail), and on the weekends a do a back up on a Toshiba Qosmio G20 '10.10' I press import or is it restore and everything is good. Except for today I am getting 'Invalid Evolution backup file' each time. I have tryed purging evolution. Even uninstalling it but to no avail.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to create retrievable archives of a my old emails say monthly to avoid the old emails running me out of memory. If I use the 'Backup Settings' procedure as explained in Evolution Help what happens when I wish to consult the /home/dbus/evolution-backup.tar.gz archive file?
1- Will it simply over-write my current Evolution data? [in which case its not what I need]
2- If not, how do I return the archive file to dead storeage and resuscitate my current data?
3- If it will overwrite using the 'Restore Evolution' procedure given in Evolution Help is there a workaround ... perhaps by ...
3a- renaming the archive file,
3b- or 'restoring' it in another version of Evolution,
3c- or archiving CURRENT data as a 2nd backup with a different name [eg: /home/dbus/evolution-backupJan11.tar.gz?] then restoring that?
4- Will I be able to retrieve successive archives if I rename them, say '/home/dbus/evolution-backup.tarDec10.gz' etc once Evolution's saved them?
Alternatively the following came from a dead thread [from commonlyUNIQU3 ] ... is it still valid? does it avoid the problem of potentially running out of memory?
A. Make a subfolder to the "Inbox" under the "On This Computer" tree (I call mine "Archive")
B. Drag and drop the emails you want to archive into this folder.*
This will move the selected emails off of your Exchange server/account and into this folder (and into local storage) - unless you do a copy & paste instead of drag & drop. You may need to have the setting for downloading emails for offline access enabled for this to work as desired. If I recall, the new integrated backup feature creates a compressed (.zip) archive from which you can later restore the email (haven't tried that just yet).
How to take backup of my emails, i m using evolution on ubuntu 10.10.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently reinstalled my computer with new hard drives and Ubuntu 10.10 (AMD64). Before the switch I used the 'Backup' function in Evolution to backup all my email and email settings -- I thought! The backup file was big (300 MB) so I didn't double-check how big it should have been.
After the reinstall I restored the backup and Evolution seemed to be working fine, i.e., I could see all the new email in my IMAP mailbox. Also, my local Contacts were all there, as expected. But eventually I tried locating an old email which I had saved to a sub-folder under the 'Local' Inbox and realized that there was nothing there! Fortunately I still had my old hard-drive and so I was able to recover the additional 400 MB of old emails. Shouldn't the 'Backup' function include the entire Evolution profile including any/all 'Local' settings?
I've been using 11.04 Unity, & quite like it. I fired up Blender 2.49b the other day (not used it for a long time) & its behaviour was very erratic. Due to this I decided to reinstall 10.10 for the time being, until October or maybe even the 12.04 LTS. I backed everything up & reinstalled 10.10. I then tried to restore my Evolution from the Natty backup file, which simply didn't work. The message was something about it not being a valid file. I'm assuming this is a non backwards compatibility issue.
Any way getting Blender to work or restoring Evolution? With regard to Blender (in Natty); I've not tried proprietary drivers for my GPU yet as the open source defaults have always been fine, so that's an option. It means another reinstall (of Natty), but that really isn't such a big deal at this point. With regard to Evolution (in Maverick); I found a ppa but I'm unsure how to proceed once I've added it. Would I do an apt-get update & an apt-get install evolution?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is the issue: when replying to someone, the cursor defaults to the beginning of the date line (on date this and this, that and that wrote:...), and I have to press enter twice, and then up-key twice, to bring it to a proper situation where I can start replying.
Today the issue is a bit better, since I am using GVIM for editing, so I can just press O (or make any other good mapping for my needs), but I am using GVIM only for English emails (since with Hebrew it is not really... hmm... useful, still), so the problem remains.
I know it is a very "little" issue - but come on, 9 years and no solution?!
In general, it would be nice to allow one to customize completely the "date line"; for example, to allow one to decide that his reply line will begin like this:
(two empty lines, after the cursor!)

In Fedora 12 when ever I log into my desktop Firefox and Evolution are in off line mode when I run them.
I do not use NetworkManager and this is turn off (both service and icon) as this machine has mutable nailed up connections. I am guessing this is what it is as I have laptop with F12 on that has NM turned on and I am not seeing this behaviour.
How to change this behaviour? I is a tad annoying F11 didn't do this.

how to pass something more than a one-command startup for gnome-terminal. I will give an example of what I'm trying to do here:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
#
#TODO write this for gnome and xterm
[code]....
This same error occurs if the gnome-terminal line is changed to
Code:
gnome-terminal -e mcTerm
Is there any way to pass more than one command on to gnome-terminal? I have tried various single and double quoting senarios and in a final attempt, I abstracted to an exported function all to no avail. Perhaps even though gnome-term is better at many things than xterm, xterm trumps it in this instance.
Anyone know the secred magic incantation is get Evolution to either stop doing line wrap while composing email, or at least extend the line size?

$cmd If this script is executed, an error is generated. The reason written was that "The execution fails because the pipe is not expanded and is passed to date as an argument".What is meant by expansion of pipe. When we execute date | wc on the command line, it goes fine.then | is not treated as an argument. Why?

I tried
Code:
chown -R owner:group *
which does not work on the invisible directories (why?). When I used ".*" as wildcard it changed all (visible) files including the parent directory (the one I was currently working in which is the "dot") . I can change the invisible directories owner and group using dophin but how is it done from the command line?

I have been googling a while unable to find a solution running dd command over LAN.
my laptop has a 320 GB hdd which is dual booted with win 7 and linux mint.If i remember i dont think i am using the entire 320 GB from the hdd,may be around some 200 GB.If i use a DD command and back it up to an external 500 GB hdd,will it back the entire 320 GB or only the data which is of 200 GB ?
I want to have a full backup of my HDD ,incase the hdd fails in laptop i can mirror it to a new hdd from the external hdd.
I back up all my digital photos to a couple of places. I've been using the cp command, but--given the personal value--have started to wonder if there's a more reliable way. I'm no stranger to Linux, Bash, Perl, etc., so I could write something to copy and compare md5 hashes, but I was wondering if something already exists (reinvention, wheels and what-not).
Most of my googling for copy and (verify|valid|check|hash|confirm) turns up rsync. However, as far as I can tell, rsync only uses hashes to see if a file needs to be updated. It doesn't perform a hash comparison afterward. For this use, specifically, the files are binary and typically 8-10MB.
I'm going to be using this command to back up my files:
Should I change anything or is it ok?
