Dear List, I started using Linux Mint 14 after being a Fedora user for many years. I backed up my data and settings using the Backup Menu item (File > Backup Evolution Data...) on my Fedora 18 laptop and used the backup file whilst setting up Evolution on my Desktop where I installed Linux Mint 14.
When switching to the Contacts view I get an error message with the following details: Unable to open address book This address book cannot be opened. Please check that the path /home/gavin/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system-address-book exists and that permissions are set to access it. Detailed error message: Cannot open book: db error 0xffff8703 (DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery) When restoring from the Evolution backup it created: $ ls -l ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system total 10352 -rw-r--r-- 1 gavin gavin 69632 Apr 15 10:46 addressbook.db -rw-r--r-- 1 gavin gavin 5549 Dec 15 2011 addressbook.db.summary -rw-r--r-- 1 gavin gavin 29696 Apr 15 10:46 contacts.db -rw-r----- 1 gavin gavin 10485760 Apr 29 23:23 log.0000000001 drwx------ 2 gavin gavin 4096 Feb 11 21:42 photos but Evolution seems to want ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system-address-book. So I shutdown Evolution, killed the address book background process and copied ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system to ~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system-address-book and restarted my system. Unfortunately that did not solve the problem. In Linux Mint 14 I am running Evolution 3.6.2. Anyone have suggestions as to what to try next so I can fix this problem?
