Re: [Evolution] Potential Issue casued by Update

[Business Catchall <info uscopy com>]

Interestingly I found I was having the same exact issue with my Ubuntu
22.01.1 on the generic 5.15 on my daily driver (my Home laptop is
running Pop OS 22.04.1 with the latest 5.19 kernel). On my Ubuntu
machine Evolution not longer showed up as an option in Default
Applications. I completely removed the Evolution flatpak then tried to
install it from Apt (sudo apt install evolution-ews) and still no dice
on mailto or even showing up in the Default Application setting. I
removed the apt and then installed again with $ sudo apt install
evolution but again no dice. I then decided to bite the bullet and
install Evolution from Ubuntu Software (version 3.44.1-0ubuntu1 ),
which I try to avoid, and boom! It shows up in my Default Applications
and now Mailto links work perfectly.  I am not as crazy about the look
of the Snap version but I am functional now so I will mess with my Pop
OS laptop to troubleshoot but I am thinking whatever recent update both
my devices have in common borked something.

If it can't open the display, then that is a fairly serious things -
there's no way that Evolution can start if it can't do that.  Are you
doing this directly on the console of the machine or is it a remote
session?  Are you running Xorg or Wayland?  Is the chrome running on a
different (virtual) machine?  Is chrome running in a sandbox?

If it is just within the same major version (i.e. 3.44.x) then you
shouldn't need to wipe all your data.

OK. So there's nothing wrong with Evolution.

I suspect that something did break, but not with Evolution. Has chrome
updated recently as well?
