RE: [Evolution] Help: I screwed up my Evolution-1.4.5

Just noticed something else...

I have two Redhat 9 systems that experienced this problem. However Evo-1.4.6
is now running on one of them (not sure what I did).  But... a ps -axf on the
one that is working shows the following processes running:

8311 ? S 0:00 /usr/libexec/gconfg-2 14
8313 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/libexec/bonobo-activation-server -ac-activate
--ior-output-fd=18
8315 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/libexec/evolution/1.4/evolution-wombat
--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Wombat_InterfaceCheck
--oaf-ior-fd=21
8317 ? S 0:00 /usr/local/libexec/evolution/1.4/evolution-alarm-notify
--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Calendar_AlarmNotify_Factory
--oaf-ior-fd=23

Sorry for the wrap... Anyway, it was the fact that some of the stuff for
Evolution is running in /usr/local/libexec instead of /usr/libexec. Which
means that I probably rebuilt something and it was installed in /usr/local
rather than /usr.

Also, on the machine where Evolution is not working, there are no such apps in
/usr/local. Only in /usr.

So, does this help in anyway? Is there a package that I need to install to get
Evo working again?

I did build Evo-1.5.5 from source recently (on the machine that is working
now) and went back to 1.4.5 then to 1.4.6. Perhaps if I build 1.5.5 on the
machine that is not working then go back and install the 1.4.6 rpms, it will
work. Just a thought.

Phyt-o.

FWIW i now get something similar on my redhat 9 system.

I used to be able to run the evolution 1.4 that it comes with (well
xd2), but now i can't.  I have no kde installed on this machine.  I use
tmpfs so /tmp gets cleared every reboot.

I'm not sure if its related to kernel 2.6.x.

"Extremely strange, strange things"

Doesn't tell us a lot ...

Maybe Michael can give us a clue as to what it means?

Well, I'm at a loss. Sounds like your system is borked and I have no
idea how to fix it.

Did you force install some of the packages or anything? Looks like
bonobo-activation-server can't find stuff it is looking for.

O.K. I did as you said...

I logged out, then CTRL-ALT-F1 and logged in console mode. There was

nothing

in /tmp/orbit-root or /tmp/orbit-$USER (because I already deleted the

stuff

before logging out). I also ran bonobo-slay. Then I logged back in and

tried

to start evolution. ***No Change*** I also rebooted and tried again with

no

change.

So to recap:

When starting evolution from a console in KDE3.2.1 I get an error:

(Killing of version of Wombat...) ** (evolutionL5156): WARNING **:

Extremely

strange, strange object directories (0)registered with the activation

context


and an error window that says:

Cannot access the Ximian Evolution shell.

I have recently rebuilt and installed KDE3.2.1 from source and the
evolution-1.4.6 rpms for Redhat 9 and I have a custom 2.4.25 kernel that

I

built.

Help??

Wouldn't restarting the machine also take care of whatever bonobo-slay

does?



yes, but you didn't say that before :-)

logout of your user account, then Ctrl-Alt-F1 and login at the console.
then `rm -rf /tmp/orbit-$USER`, then you should be able to log back into
the GUI (X + GNOME or KDE or whatever it is you run). Starting Evolution
will probably work after that. I hope.

I think the solution is to run `bonobo-slay` and then try to start up
evolution. somehow your bonobo-activation-server got fouled up.

I'm sorry about multiple posts on this but my original e-mail

source is

having

problems and messages are either not going through or are bouncing.

<!------ begin original posting ------->

I upgraded my Redhat 9 rpms to:

evolution-1.4.6-0.ximian.6.5.i386.rpm
gtkhtml3.0-3.0.10-0.ximian.6.1.i386.rpm
gtkhtml3.0-devel-3.0.10-0.ximian.6.1.i386.rpm
libgal2.0_6-1.99.11-0.ximian.6.1.i386.rpm

libgtkhtml3.0_4-3.0.10-0.ximian.6.1.i386.rpm

but I still get an error window when I execute the application that
says
"Cannot access the Ximian Evolution shell."

When I execute the application in a terminal, I get the window plus

the

terminal output:

(Killing of version of Wombat...)

** (evolutionL5156): WARNING **: Extremely strange, strange object

Help????!!!

hi,

no idea so far, could be a few reasons why evo does not run.
please run evolution from terminal/console and post the entire

output.


cheers,
