I have a lot of problems, upgrading from FC4 to FC5. Therefore I like to do something drastic, i.e. reformatting the partitions it uses and installing FC5 from scratch.
Evolution stores your data in $HOME/.evolution, your account settings in $HOME/.gconf/apps/evolution and your passwords in $HOME/.gnome2_private/Evolution. SSL Certificates are stored in $HOME/.camel_certs. First of all, shut Evolution and its background processes (Evolution Data Server, Evolution Alarm Notify) completly down by using "evolution --force-shutdown". Then copy the contents of $HOME/.evolution/, $HOME/.gnome2_private/Evolution, $HOME/.camel_certs. Then dump your Evolution settings stored in GConf by running "gconftool-2 --dump /apps/evolution > some-file.xml" where "some-file.xml" is the name of the file the information is written to. On the new partition, make sure you are not running GConf (by "ps ax | grep gconf" for example; you normally have to leave Gnome for that and then run "gconftool-2 --shutdown" on the shell). Then import those settings by running "gconftool-2 --load some-file.xml" and log in to Gnome again, also copy the three folders ($HOME/.evolution/, $HOME/.gnome2_private/Evolution, $HOME/.camel_certs). After that, you can start Evolution on the new partition. Should work, as there were no changes between 2.2/FC4 and 2.6/FC5. cheers, andre -- mailto:ak-47 gmx net | failed! http://www.iomc.de
