Hi, Now that SUSE has went Gnome way I decided to give it a spin on 10.1 to see whether huge monetary investment in Gnome would have actually paid off.
Log in, start off evolution to configure pop3/gmail account. Initial dialog was ok, but didn't see SSL selection anywhere -> to the settings menu. Select SSL, click OK -> crash. Hmm, let's allow it to restart. Looks like it did change the setting, so click 'check mail'. Wohoo, we get mail. This version works, the one in 10.0 did nothing. Oops, but i forgot to give it a signature. Back to the settings dialog. Write it a signature, click ok -> crash. Hmm, I'm starting to get the old feeling that hey, this is classic Gnome, but let's allow it to restart again. After restart click 'contacts' to type in some contacts but hey, instead of the contacts page I get another crash. This time restarting won't even help, it always tries to return to the 'Contacts' page causing crash. Hmm, could it be that some of my old settings interfered? Let's check by doing rm -rf .gconf* .gnome* and repeat steps above. Didn't help, still exactly the same crashes than above. Hmm, could it be that I have a broken install? Let's recheck. No, all dependencies are OK, and package versions match 10.1 100%. So, ideas anyone? It can't be broken this much, can it? Rest of the Gnome seems to work.. If it really is broken to the degree i've experienced it to be, let's be realistic here. Given that Gnome folks themselves can't build a single working application (for business desktop you would have to assume that email app is the first one to do, right?) for this desktop given it's remarkably top quality framework, how exactly did you think 3rd parties would be able to? Anyhoo, if anyone has any clues how to get evo working i'm definitely willing to listen.. -- // Janne --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
