If can help, I have this problem and this is my GCONF configuration in /apps/evolution/addressbook, name = sources, 3° value:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <group uid="1271941921.2531.16@cvs28" name="Su questo computer" base_uri="local:" readonly="no"><source uid="1271941921.2531.25@cvs28" name="Personale" relative_uri="system"><properties><property name="use-in-contacts-calendar" value="0"/><property name="completion" value="true"/><property name="remember_password" value="false"/><property name="default" value="true"/></properties></source><source uid="1295625049.3850.8@cvs28" name="AbleTech" uri="file:///home/sbagnatica/.evolution/addressbook/local/1295625049.3850.8@cvs28" relative_uri="1295625049.3850.8@cvs28"><properties><property name="use-in-contacts-calendar" value="0"/><property name="completion" value="true"/><property name="default" value="true"/></properties></source></group> The address book "Personale", that have "system" relative_uri, works correcty, and I get "Invalid source" opening address book "AbleTech", with relative_uri 1295625049.3850.8@cvs28. I see that the "uri" is wrong, because now the addressbook is in .local/share/evolution/addressbook, but I have also tried correcting this URI in GCONF, but the error stays there. I tried opening the addressbook.db.summary files, and they seems ok. I cannot also delete that address book... I think I'll delele the not working book from GCONF, and recreate manually. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787684 Title: Evolution can't open some local address books Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: evolution Some of my local address books can't be opened.
