RE: [Evolution] corba exception on Evolution startup

you didn't have to reboot... rm -rf /tmp/orbit-$USER and then logout and
back in again.

tada.

Well I just rebooted and it has cleared up.  What a pain though..... I hope this is not something that will

Well interestingly enough when I ran into the panel applets crashing
with similar errors I thought hrrrm maybe it's not a evo thing.  I tried
doing an oaf-slay, but nothing happened.  Normally that will kill
nautilis, the panel, evolution and many other things, followed by
restarting the destkop components.  But this time Nothing.  :(

I've got the same problem.  I discovered it when using VNC.  When I create new VNC windows with 
vncserver, each time I start it up, I get no applets and the following messages ... 

   There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
   Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.
   The Settings Daemon restarted too many times.
   GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.

And when I tried to add the panel items, I got this message: 

   There was a problem loading applet 'OAFIID:GNOME_TasklistApplet'
   Details: Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/INV_OBJREF:1.0'

I have been reluctant to end my main session, because the problem had not been encountered there yet, 
only the VNC sessions.  However, I tried to open up evo 1.4 in my main window and got this error:

   Cannot activate component OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Mail_ShellComponent :
   The error from the activation system is:
   Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/INV_OBJREF:1.0'

Is this a gnome thing or an evolution thing?  So me thinks something is screwy.   Is there a way to reset 
or reload the oafd ?  

BTW, I am on RH 8.0 which is up to date (except the kernel which is 2.4.20-13.8)  via rcd, the version of 
evolution is 1.4.5

Ian Perryman

Just to confirm that the poster is not on crack, I had the same issue
today.  Although I produced it doing something else.  

I had signed up on a new mailing list and was creating a filter from the
first message I received on the list (and thus a new folder).  When I
tried to add the folder to my shortcut bar Evolution seemed to lock up. 
The screen would paint, but clicking on folders menus or messages did
nothing...the screen never changed.  I tried hitting the X on the
window, but that did nothing, so I hopped over to a xterm and typed
killev...well /usr/libexec/evolution/1.4/killev.  Evolution was killed
with out complaint.

I started evo back up only to find that I received the same errors as
the poster.

Interestingly though, instead of rebooting (why does linux ever need
rebooting), I just logged out of X and restarted the X server.  Upon
loggin in, all of my panel applets were not functioning, and I was asked
to delete them (which I said no).  I went on to fire up evo and got the
same set of messages.  So this time I rebooted and all has been fine
since.

I hope this is the right list.  I recently updated evolution (5 days ago 
maybe?) and afterwards I received some corba exception errors.  I would 
click ok on about 5 errors and then Evolution would start, but it would not 
display any folder contents.  It would display the folder list on the left.  
After a reboot everything worked fine.  Just now it started happening again, 
and a reboot does not fix it.  I had clicked the clock on the taskbar 
(ximian desktop 2) and the month was showing with checkboxes for alarms 
within 15,30,45, etc minutes.  Before I escaped out of the calendar popup, I 
click the evolution icon.  Evolution started and I got the errors again for 
the first time since the original incident.  Then when I closed Evolution, I 
escaped out of the clock and it gave some corba exceptions also.  I rebooted 
and now the clock works fine, but evolution still errors.  I'm running 
redhat 9 with ximian desktop 2, all up to date with red carpet.  I tried the 
snapshot and development snapshot for Evolution but still the same.  Here 
are the errors: 

Cannot activate component OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Mail_ShellComponent :

Please help, thx.
