Hi. Your solution is the same as I happened upon. It seems to me that bonob-activation-server gets confused whenever the IP address of your machine changes. The problems always seem to happen when my ISP changes the address via DHCP.
When this happens upon a restart/login, I also get the message that the Gnome settings demon could not be started. Killing gconf solves that, otherwise killing bonobo does the trick in order to start evolution. -R On Thu, 2003-10-02 at 02:59, Arno Kuyper wrote: > Hi, > > I dont know if you already got a solution for the > > Cannot activate component OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Mail_ShellComponent : > The error from the activation system is: > Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/INV_OBJREF:1.0' > > problem. > > But I found out the following: > My system is a Red Hat 9 (KDE) with Evolution 1.4.5 > > It also crashed after a synctool installation. > > I did a fresh installation of BONOBO (Bonobo is a CORBA based component system for > the Gnome desktop, it causes the crash) and Evolution and it worked for a while but > after a restart i received the same errors... > > After a: ps -ef i foud out that the following processes keep running > /usr/libexec/gconfd-2 12 > /usr/libexec/bonobo-activation-server --ac-activate ...... > /usr/libexec/evolution/1.4/evolution-wombat ...... > > Kill the processes and restart Evolution.
