Re: [Evolution] Potential Issue casued by Update

When starting up Evolution from terminal I get the following:

gpg-agent[6]: directory '/home/michael/.gnupg' created

gpg-agent[6]: directory '/home/michael/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d' created

gpg-agent[7]: gpg-agent (GnuPG) 2.2.35 started

Gtk-Message: 09:19:37.128: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"

(evolution.bin:52): e-mail-engine-WARNING **: 09:19:37.490: Failed to add service 'Sendmail' (sendmail): No provider available for protocol “sendmail”

Gtk-Message: 09:19:37.518: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"

Gtk-Message: 09:19:38.009: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"

And when clicking a MailTo link I get this Chrome output when Evolution is the default:

gpg-agent[6]: directory '/home/michael/.gnupg' created

gpg-agent[6]: directory '/home/michael/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d' created

gpg-agent: a gpg-agent is already running - not starting a new one

Gtk-Message: 09:20:39.393: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"

Failed to initialize gtk+: Cannot open display:

I don't recall what the previous version was but I think I will have to completely purge everything related to Evolution and start from scratch.

Now when I try $ xdg-open mailto:user@no.where Evolution opens as expected to send an email and the output in terminal  that I ran that command is:

gpg-agent[6]: directory '/home/michael/.gnupg' created

gpg-agent[6]: directory '/home/michael/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d' created

gpg-agent: a gpg-agent is already running - not starting a new one

Gtk-Message: 09:24:37.964: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"

(evolution.bin:25): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: 09:24:38.240: Your application did not unregister from D-Bus before destruction. Consider using g_application_run().

And the output from the Evolution Terminal is :

(evolution-alarm-notify:58): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 09:19:37.939: gtk_widget_get_scale_factor: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

Gtk-Message: 09:19:38.009: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"

Gtk-Message: 09:21:26.498: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"

Gtk-Message: 09:21:26.528: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"

Gtk-Message: 09:24:38.281: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"

Gtk-Message: 09:24:38.321: Failed to load module "appmenu-gtk-module"

I wonder if this a theme thing with Pop OS that broke Evolution somehow? Come to think of it Pop OS did update a few things

        Hi,

try to run both the Evolution and the Chrome from a terminal, to see

whether it prints anything there. For the Flatpak Evolution you might

close it first and then run it, to make sure a new process is executed,

aka like this:

   $ flatpak kill org.gnome.Evolution

   $ flatpak run org.gnome.Evolution

Do you know what version of Evolution had been installed before the

update? It's possible to "roll back" to the previous versions on the

Flathub.org, if needed. I do not recall any specific change in the

Evolution itself in the URI handling in the whole 3.44.x series, thus

it can be something else, especially if the other apps can execute the

mailto: URIs properly. Maybe also from the command line:

   $ xdg-open mailto:user@no.where

Maybe the Chrome encodes the link somehow, which prevents Evolution to

decode it, which may or may not be visible on the Evolution's console

in a form of a runtime warning.

I do not know how Chrome, I do not use it, but at least Firefox has

Edit->Settings->Applications and when I search there for the "mailto"

(quotes for clarity only), then it lets me choose the app to use, with

indicated default, which is (possibly) taken from the system.

        Bye,

        Milan
