Re: [Evolution] Failed to open calendar “Contacts : Birthdays & Anniversaries” Invalid object

In response to below:

'It's important to say how your calendar is configured. Is it local?

Does it use a server such as Google Calendar or Exchange?

I believe my calender is local - I imported the email messages from MS Outlook when I dumped Win7 and moved to Linux in February.

I don't think I told the installation programme about Google Mail or an Exchange Server. My email is downloaded from a remote mail server but I don't think that has any calendar facility.

There is an outside possibility the problem may be related to my installing the Microsoft Teams Linux version. The problem seems to have started around the same time I held my initial meeting in MS Teams.

I can't see anything obvious under 'Preferences' or accounts to show how the calendar is configured. Should I look elsewhere ?

Regards

John

Hello,

I am running Evolution 3.28.5-0ubuntu0.18.04.1  under Linux Mint 9.3

Mate 64 Bit

Evolution has been operating satisfactorily since I installed it in

February until the last couple of days when I get the error 'Failed to

open calendar “Contacts : Birthdays & Anniversaries” Invalid object'

when I try to create a new entry in the calendar.

There is one previous post in the archive that implies that turning the

calendars off and on again cures it - I have tried this but it does not

work in my case.

I have looked at the dta file in

/home/john/.local/share/evolution/calendar/system and the only file is

'calendar.ics' which Has Read - Wrirte permission for th eowner and

read only for the others. Changing the group to read write does not

cure it.

Nothing on the internet for this error other than the one report in the

archive as shown above.

The 'Birthdays & Anniversarys still show in the calendar and can be

turned on & off with the tick box so evolution still seems to be

reading the data.

The error occurs even if I turn off B&A and then try to create a new

appointment.

Can anyone help me on fixing this.
