Hi All, Thanks very much for the fix to my last problem, which was that ownership of /tmp/gconf-andrew got screwed. By heading to the /tmp directory I also found quite a few other files that were 502:andrew, instead of 501 or andrew:andrew. Evolution has fired up now and I have the job of cleaning up my choice of "append" instead of overwrite. This choicew was really made in ignorance, as I was feared that "overwrite" would delete my files and replace them with white space. What I have now is a Contacts folder full of triplicate entries.
My process for deleting the unnecessary entries is to make the View a phone list, sort by name, and work my way down the list with the CTRL key depressed and selecting entries with the mouse. Is there a quicker way to this? perhaps from the command line? is there a backup directory in the new Evo layout which is likely to have the triplicates stored within, as well? On deleting records from Contacts Evo crashes, with a small block of data it accomplishes the delete on the way out, but with larger blocks of addresses it crashes without deleting. I had triplicates in Tasks, easily cleaned up. And also in Calendar, but I fixed the recent entries manually and then did a purge on the Calendar for dates older than 3 days. This was after trying to delete my calendar data from ~/.evolution/calendar/local - it all came back, however. The other course could be to just delete the .evolution folder and then sync with my Palm Pilot. Any thoughts on these matters. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
