Re: [Evolution] Mageia KDE and Evolution

Matthew and Patrick,

Thanks for the replies. I do not recall installing gnome keyring myself, so think it came as a dependency for Evo 3.10.2. The problem is that Evo never seems to ask either keyring for a password -- nor does it ask ME for a password -- unlike the behavior I have on a Linux Mint netbook with Evo 3.2.3.

 

I just experimented further starting Evo from the terminal and composing and attempting to send a message . . . which led to the follow error:

 

(evolution:22938): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion 'text != NULL' failed

 

TIA for any additional help as I don't know the workings of Evo enough to decipher this.

 

Roy

Yes.

Using KDE, in previous versions of Evo I would frequently get two 
popups asking for the password (although they both looked like GTK 
dialogues). Currently (3.10.4) I just get one. Apparently in Gnome you 
don't get any as long as your keyring password matches your login 
password. Or something.
