Pablo, that version of evolution-data-server is no longer at the ppa referred to in post #24. It has probably been removed because there is a later version of evolution and its components available for Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid). You might be better advised to update your 9.04 to 10.04 when it is released in a few weeks (it is currently available in beta). Have you tried my suggestion 2 in post #24?

[Bug 246251] Re: Calendar Contacts Birthdays Anniversaries forgets displaying birthdays
I've tried two things that seem to improve the problem. 1. Connect to the repository ppa:lifeless/ppa (https://launchpad.net/~lifeless/+archive/ppa) and upgrade evolution- data-server to version 2.28.1-0ubuntu2. 2. From System/Preferences/Startup Applications uncheck Evolution Alarm Notifier. That prevents evolution-data-server from starting at next boot/login. It will start, along with evolution alarm notifier, when you manually start evolution from the menu. Not being notifier of events is the trade-off, but I usually start evolution soon after login anyway -- no big deal. This is less tedious than I mentioned in post #20. (As in #23, you may need to uncheck/check birthdays and anniversaries, or simply refresh the view by scrolling.) -- Calendar Contacts Birthdays Anniversaries forgets displaying birthdays https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246251 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

If evolution-data-server is running before you start evolution you may experience this bug. Kill evolution-data-server before you start evolution and try again.

[Bug 246251] Re: Calendar Contacts Birthdays Anniversaries forgets displaying birthdays
A workaround is to backup evolution (file -- backup settings). When restarted uncheck/check birthdays and anniversaries and that should force then to appear. It's tedious but probably good practice to backup anyway. I thought this problem was related to sharing my .evolution folder with another computer through Dropbox, but having read this and similar threads, it seems to be a longstanding bug in evolution. -- Calendar Contacts Birthdays Anniversaries forgets displaying birthdays https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246251 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Of course, backing up evolution kills all evolution processes, including evolution-data-server-2.28.

The procedure outlined by Russell Faull also brought back the birthdays on my 'Calendars - Evolution' window as well as on the small window which pops up when I click on the date/time applet in the notification area.

Same here, with Ubuntu Hardy Heron. Did not solve with the upgrade to Intrepid Ibex. The contacts that are shown seems random. Those that don't appear are coming up when I edit their information, and disappear again after the next reload. Most of my contacts have a birthday after 1/1/70. I'm still searching for a link between those that appear, or those that don't appear, to try to understand what causes this, but it really seems random.
